| 0:00.0 | Everybody, what is going on? You know what time it is. You're listening to Join the Journey podcast |
| 0:05.7 | with your host, Emma Daughter. Thanks for joining. Today, we're reading First Samuel 20. But before we |
| 0:13.0 | jump in, I want to remind you that new Join the Journey journals, say that 10 times fast, are out on |
| 0:18.6 | Amazon, full of plenty of space to journal as you study and additional |
| 0:22.4 | resources to aid you in your study. We'll put the link for both the adult journals and the junior |
| 0:27.0 | journals in the episode description. All that said, we're in 1st Samuel 20, and I want to read you |
| 0:32.6 | some of today's devotional written by Watermark member, Bo Richardson. We are made for community. All the way back |
| 0:39.6 | during the creation of the world, God saw that man needed community. Then the Lord God said, |
| 0:44.8 | it is not good that the man should be alone, Genesis 218. Community helps to encourage us in our |

| 1:12.1 | This beautiful image of friendship is a mere reflection of how God loves us. First Samuel 20 features Jonathan and David, |
| 1:18.6 | best friends and arguably the dynamic duo of the Old Testament. Just for starters, the existence |
| 1:24.2 | of a friendship between them is absolutely crazy because Jonathan would have been |
| 1:28.1 | king if God hadn't appointed David. Jonathan basically lost his kingship to David, yet they put that |
| 1:33.7 | behind them and treated each other equally. Actually, to say they treated each other equally would be an |
| 1:39.3 | understatement. Verse 17, and Jonathan made David swear again by his love love for him for he loved him as he loved his own soul |
| 1:46.8 | their love for each other outweighed their love for themselves and this love is what motivated jonathan |
| 1:51.9 | to submit to his friend in order to serve and protect him verse four then jonathan said to david whatever you say |
| 1:58.2 | i will do we live in a culture that celebrates self-care and |
