SHOW NOTES:
In Podcast Episode 280, “Whose Example Are You Following (and Who Is Following You)?“ Kim discusses the importance of choosing wisely who we seek to imitate. We saw in our scripture text the dangers of following the example of someone living an evil life and leading others to do the same or even worse. The Apostle Paul encouraged the church at Corinth to imitate him as he imitated Christ. Christ’s life should be the example we seek to follow and those who seek to imitate Him.
Our focal passage for this episode is 1 Kings 15:32-16:28 with verses 25-26 as the focal verses:
25 But Omri did what was evil in the Lord’s sight, even more than any of the kings before him. 26 He followed the example of Jeroboam son of Nebat in all the sins he had committed and led Israel to commit. The people provoked the anger of the Lord, the God of Israel, with their worthless idols.

Additional Resources and Scriptures:
- 31 So whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. 32 Don’t give offense to Jews or Gentiles or the church of God. 33 I, too, try to please everyone in everything I do. I don’t just do what is best for me; I do what is best for others so that many may be saved. 1 And you should imitate me, just as I imitate Christ. (1 Cor. 10:31-11:1)
