Hi, I'm Dr. Tony Evans and 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.

This episode is a tale of David's greatest failure.

There could be no understanding just how far the king falls

in this episode.

From the very beginning of this tale,

you will barely be able to recognize David.

Nothing about this episode seems normal.

His failure can be jarring for us

and difficult to understand. But there have been breadcrumbs

bringing us to this moment. Small hints and details in David's story have been warning us that

this might happen. This episode is tragic, but remember what I've been reminding you of this

whole time. David is not the ultimate hero of this

story. His collapse is a warning to us all. Small compromises over time can lead to huge defeats.

Many of our most ingregious sins were committed in our hearts before the actual moment we acted.

This is exemplified in our prelude as we get a

glimpse into the inner dialogue of Eve. Her conversation with the serpent reflects our own

dangerous dance with sin and pride. Take this episode in for all it is. Allow yourself to feel

the weightiness of what's happening.

We can't shy away from the difficult stories,

for within them are profound truths and serious warnings.
