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?
