In the Bible there is a kingdom that once stood as the pinnacle of human ambition and pride, only to crumble in the face of God. It serves as a reminder that the kingdoms we build without God’s foundation will ultimately fall. All empires built on self-glory eventually fall—no matter how strong they seem. Through the humbling story of Nebuchadnezzar’s madness and eventual restoration, A Kingdom of Sand warns us about the dangers of arrogance and that our lives are ultimately fragile without God at the center. This episode challenges listeners to examine the "castles" they’ve built in their own lives—whether through wealth, success, or knowledge—and asks the hard questions: What happens when the tide of life rises? Can our foundations built with our own hands withstand it? Zealous for God or for yourself?
