The True Gate of Influence
Oct 16, 2025 • Stanton Petersen
For the last three days, we’ve been down in the smoke-filled valley with Lot, watching a strategy of rescue that failed miserably. He tried to blend in, to get a seat at the table, to win influence from the inside. And it all ended in disaster. It leaves us with a desperate question: if that's the wrong way to rescue people from the world of Sodom, what’s the right way? Today, the story shifts. We leave the valley and climb to the mountain ridge with Abraham, to see a completely different model of how to rescue the people we love.
