Summary

"I identify with David: I, too, am a mixed bag. But it reminds me that I can't read this story with the idea that I'm supposed to be like David." Leaders set examples. They become examples: ideals to respect and emulate. The Bible is full of leaders—like David, a man after God's own heart. Samuel tells the story of David, but that's just a couple of chapters in a big book. What about the whole Bible? What's the story of the Bible and who's the hero? Learn how to read the Bible from https://www.thecrossingchurch.com/staff/keith-simon/ (Keith) as he covers https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2+Samuel+22-23&version=NIV (2 Samuel 22-23) to finish our series on https://www.thecrossingchurch.com/podcast-series/david-in-22-stories/ (David in 22). In this episode, we discuss David, Bathsheba, and Uriah.

0:00.0	Welcome to Tim Minut Bible Talks, where we connect the Bible to your life and the time it takes to get to work.
0:10.0	I'm Keith Simon.
0:11.0	And I'm Patrick Miller. Right now we're working through the story of David's life in first and second Samuel
0:18.4	One of the ways I was taught to read the Bible when I first became a Christian in college, especially the Old
0:24.1	Testament stories in the Bible, was that you would read about a certain person and how they lived
0:28.6	and acted and then think, okay, I'm supposed to be more like them. So you know be a better leader like Moses or be more courageous like
0:36.7	Shadrack, Mechak, and a bingo, or be more faithful like Daniel or be a better leader
0:42.2	like Nehemiah and the problem with that is that I can never do it.
0:48.0	I mean there's all kinds of problems with it but just in my personal life the main problem was that it was like well thanks
0:55.0	but where do I get the power to do that I can't be like these people and then
1:00.5	there was also another problem is which part of them was I supposed to be like.
1:06.2	Was I supposed to be like the murder that Moses was?
1:10.8	Or impatient with God like he was?
1:14.0	Or was I supposed to be the fighter and the brawler
1:18.2	that Nehemiah was?
1:20.6	You see that there's this tension in the people in the Bible that they are far from perfect.
1:25.7	They're not like polished characters in a story.
1:29.7	They are real people with kind of flaws and baggage. They're mixed bags just like I am.
1:36.5	And not only could I not live up to their ideals and the best way they lived and acted, but I wasn't
1:42.4	sure that I really wanted to live up to all
1:44.8	parts of their life. I wasn't sure I was supposed to imitate all of that.
1:48.6	Somewhere along the line I was taught I don't not if was in seminary or just from a good book or I don't really know where to trace it back to my life, but I was taught that the hero of the Bible are not the individuals found in its pages but in God.
