Misused verse 1: Jeremiah 29:11 and 'prosperity'

The hosts read Jeremiah 29:11 ('For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord. Plans to prosper you...') and debate its misuse. They argue 'prosper' gets read as Western wealth rather than God's kingdom purposes, and note the original audience was exiles in Babylon whose heritage was being dismantled. The takeaway: the verse reveals God's heart and sovereignty, not a promise of suburban prosperity.
