This episode is brought to you by the Conflict Beautiful.

The Conflict Beautiful is actually a collection of books known as the Conflict of the Ages series

that offers a deep, profoundly insightful look at the scriptures, from pre-genesis all the way to the end of time.

And it's been so beautifully redesigned for the 21st century.

We get on this plane and I'm sad because I didn't get to say by to my mother.

And I didn't know at the time that my mother had no clue. What I would find out later is that that

night Muslim imams or priests would come to my mother's home. She's worried to death. Her sons

never came back. They came to her house and said, we have your sons. She's like, where's my sons? We're not going to tell you where they are. But if you submit to Islam and become a good Muslim wife, then we will bring your sons back.

I'm Dean Cullinay, and you're listening to Why They Did That, a show that explores the motivations of biblical characters and how their choices can guide yours.

Here on why they did that, our goal is to help you to love studying the Bible. We believe the stories found

within are true to life and have the utmost capacity to actually transform our own lives.

Hence why each episode is centered on a particular character and their why, their motivation, the thing that bridges

the gap between the ancient and the present. But occasionally, we come across people who in the Bible

has already profoundly changed their lives, and their story is one of such epic proportions that they could be Bible characters

in their own right.

Adam Patel is one whom we introduced many of you two in our second episode this season,

Losing Your Fire. Back then, he took us to a portion of David's life that was most troubled.
