In this episode of Discipleship Journey with DJ, we explore the warning found in Judges, Psalm 106, and the memorial stone called Ebenezer in 1 Samuel 7. Together we reflect on how easily modern life can push God from our remembrance—and why intentionally remembering His goodness, mercy, and salvation is essential for a faithful life.</p>
