| 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. |

| 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 |
