The Bystander Effect | Manna Moments | Episode 17

In this powerful episode, we confront a spiritual danger that often goes unnoticed: the bystander effect — the tendency to stand on the sidelines while God’s work is waiting for us to step in.

Using the rare but sobering account of Meroz in Judges 5:23 (KJV), we explore how this city was cursed for refusing to come to the help of the Lord. What does it mean when believers choose comfort over calling, silence over action?

We’re diving deep into:
