Summary

In today's episode, the guys carry on their character studies by discussing the life of King David. David is a true enigma in terms of how he rose to prominence, reacted in different situations, and how even after his sin God still called him a man after His own heart.

But we also know that David, as we've talked about with our other characters,

0:03.6

he blew it big time. Right? Bathsheba, right? Numbering the people as well.

killed Goliath? Now committing adultery and committing murder and thinking that God is okay with it?

1:21.9

1:27.9
