Summary

Al and Zach realize Willie’s long-standing penchant for sibling rivalry didn’t stop with his generation as Christian and John Luke face off along their shared property lines. The guys revisit Phil’s tongue-in-cheek warning about a notorious manhood killer that’s apparently caused years of collateral damage to Robertson landscaping. Studying Saul and David reveals how pride, jealousy, and excuse-making unravel leaders, and what faithful people can do when those in charge keep making the wrong choices. In this episode: Deuteronomy 17; 1 Samuel 1–4; 1 Samuel 5–12; 1 Samuel 13–18; 1 Samuel 18–2 Samuel 1 Today's conversation is about Lesson 4 of The David Story: Shepherd, Father, King taught by Hillsdale Professor Justin Jackson. Take the course with us at no cost to you! Sign up at ⁠http://unashamedforhillsdale.com/⁠ More about The David Story: Encounter the beauty of the Bible. The David Story: Shepherd, Father, King explores the lives of Israel's first two kings—Saul and David—to discover the Bible’s profound lessons about fatherhood, the nature of sin, and the consequences of sin on both a family and a nation. While David suffers great tragedies due to his own transgressions, he models a path to redemption through repentance. Join Professor Justin Jackson in a careful reading of First and Second Samuel to gain a deeper understanding of the meaning and beauty of this story that is not only fundamental to the Christian and Jewish faiths, but also a literary masterpiece.
