You're listening to Knowing Faith, a podcast of Training the Church. This is Kyle Whirley and I'm joined by my co-host Jen Wilkin and J.T. English on today's episode we do our first dive into 2nd Samuel looking at 2 Samuel chapters one through three, or what I might like to call a tale of two kings.

And we find out that something really important is happening in the history of Israel, and because it's happening in the history of Israel, it's for the history of the world and the history of the story of scripture.

And so we really believe that when we begin to see what God is doing in Second Samuel, that it will shape the way that we view the whole story of scriptures.

We hope you enjoy the discussion today.

Okay, so here we are and we're talking through today, 2nd Samuel, chapters 1 through 3.

Just so the audience knows, this is our fourth episode to record this morning.

between. Yeah on a beach in the mountains that's yeah
