Episode Description: In this episode of For Zion's Sake, host Shelly Volk is joined by his son Scott to explore a transformational biblical theme: "But God." Focusing on key accounts in Genesis—specifically Noah in the midst of the Great Flood—they discuss how divine intervention breaks into humanly impossible situations. Even when circumstances seem entirely out of our control, God remembers His people and actively moves to bring hope, restoration, and deliverance.

Key Takeaways:

• The Power of Divine Intervention: The phrase "But God" marks the turning point where human limitations end and God's supernatural shift begins.

• God Remembers His Creation: Drawing from Genesis 8:1, the discussion highlights how God remembering Noah and the animals demonstrates His constant faithfulness in overwhelming times.

• Finding Hope in Hardship: When facing grief, loss, or helplessness, God's timing and intervention remain active and dependable.

• Ministry & Vision: For Zion's Sake seeks to strengthen believers and foster unity between Jewish and Gentile believers in Messiah Jesus.
