Welcome to Tim Minut Bible Talks, where we connect the Bible to your life and the time it takes to get to work.

0:10.0

I'm Keith Simon.

0:11.0

And I'm Patrick Miller.

0:13.0

Right now we're working through the story of David's life in First and Second Samuel.

0:18.0

Debbie and Ian were good friends, but not just friends, they were also serious bike riders and they were training

0:24.0

partners.

0:25.1

So they're out on a mountain trail one day and the way Debbie tells the story Anne is in front

0:30.4

of her as they go down this hill and all of a sudden she hear screaming and

0:34.0

screaming crazy wild scream that Debbie knew something was really wrong as soon as she

1:37.3

1:51.0

And in a moment we're going to see that in a similar way David's life was

1:55.7

physically and spiritually threatened but he had a friend in Jonathan who would not

2:01.2
