0:00.0	Hi, I'm Dr. Tony Evans, your host for Heroes in the Bible.
0:03.7	If you've been enjoying this series, please write a review and let me know how this podcast has impacted your life.
0:10.6	Welcome to the Epic Adventure of David, a story of honor, battle, jealousy, darkness, friendship, love, scandal, and murder.
0:20.8	While most people know of David the myth,
0:22.8	few know about David the man. In this story, David is recovering from his moral failures in the last
0:28.7	episode. He is making peace with God and finding purpose in the wilderness. This episode features a less
0:35.4	frenetic David. He is living the dream of many, simply living off the land and enjoying the quiet solitude of the wild.
0:43.9	But there is a long-standing truth that is unavoidable for our hero.
0:48.5	Those with magnetic personalities are bound to attract people.
0:53.0	In this episode, David is joined by a rag-tag group of
0:56.7	outcast and misfits. People find refuge under the strong wing of God's chosen hero. It is not good
1:03.7	for people to be alone, and a charismatic and compelling leader, like David, could never stay hidden
1:09.2	for long. This episode will leave us with less questions than the
1:13.2	last episode and instead invite us into a deep sigh of relief. David isn't a madman. He has a clear
1:21.1	mind and refined purpose, even in the midst of harsh circumstances. Saul, however, seems more unhinged than ever, if that's even possible.
1:30.3	We will begin this episode with a prelude, another flash forward to Jesus.
1:35.3	Just like David, it is impossible for Jesus to remain hidden.
1:39.3	People flock to him, and from the flock a few are chosen to be his disciples. What type of person is chosen
1:45.9	by God's chosen hero? Are they noble warriors, elite scholars, and influential leaders? The people
1:53.2	Christ chooses may surprise you. Let's listen and learn about the hearts of God's shepherds in
1:58.6	Episode 10, an Army of outcast, part one.
2:03.0	This is an IHeart podcast.
