Hi, I'm Dr. Tony Evans, your host for Heroes in the Bible. If you've enjoyed this podcast so far,

please share it with your family and friends and help us spread God's word. Welcome to the epic

adventure of David, a story of honor, battle, jealousy, darkness, friendship, love, scandal, and murder.

While most people know of David the myth, few know about

David the man. In this episode, we will get a grand view of the king's faith. We get to peek behind

the curtain to see some of the more intimate conversations David has with God. We also get to see

him leading the people in praise while also learning some

hard lessons about God's holiness. This is one of my favorite episodes because we get a more

extensive look at God's interaction with David. Before, he has been a figure to speak in some small

burst and move behind the scenes. This episode

places God as a prominent character. More than that, God is the warrior and king in this

episode. You will be amazed to witness God lead a battle, lead a worship session, and lead

the decisions of the king. David is like us in this

episode, simply watching God in amazement. This episode also introduces some inner conflict and

doubt. It's a healthy thing to struggle with God. Israel does mean to wrestle with God,

after all. David has some lower moments of doubt.

He questions God's motives and seeks more clarity on the decisions he's made.

David lays out a great example for us in this episode.

He models what it is like to struggle through doubt, ask questions, and be content with an answer that is given.

At the end of the episode, God gives David a grand promise. It's a promise we all knew was coming,

but as he speaks, we can't help but step back in awe. God has been on a rescue mission since

the beginning of mankind, and David is being roped into the process.
