What does it truly mean to "walk with God" as Enoch did? Dr. Papa invites us into a profound exploration of one of Scripture's most mysterious figures – a man who lived 365 years and then simply vanished because "God took him."

Through careful examination of Genesis 5:22-24, we discover that Enoch stands apart from all other patriarchs. While their stories end with "and he died," Enoch's culminates in divine translation – taken directly to heaven without experiencing death. But what set him apart? What earned him this extraordinary privilege?

Far from being a withdrawn pietist hiding from worldly corruption, Jude's epistle reveals Enoch as a bold prophet who fearlessly proclaimed God's coming judgment on an ungodly generation. Like John the Baptist centuries later, he spoke truth to power without compromise. Dr. Papa challenges today's believers to follow this example, lamenting that many modern pulpits have grown timid while our world careens toward judgment just as swiftly as Enoch's pre-flood generation.

The devotion culminates with practical spiritual disciplines that characterized Enoch's walk with God and can transform our own: abiding in Scripture, consistent prayer, faithful obedience, and submission to the Holy Spirit. As Dr. Papa beautifully puts it, "We can walk with God as Enoch did. The only difference is that we have the written word to read and study and the living word living inside us to fellowship with us and guide us." Ready to begin your own extraordinary walk with God? This episode shows you how.
