The call repeated throughout these chapters is simple but demanding: Love God, obey Him, and do the work. Easier said than done. Join us to see how David, our shepherd king, shows Israel exactly how to do it.

Themes of this podcast:

Legacy leadership: living for the next generation. David’s final acts are less about finishing his own story and more about launching the future. His leadership shows that true greatness isn’t about what you personally accomplish. It's about how well you prepare and position others to flourish and carry God’s work forward when you're gone.

Worship as the center of life. David’s obsession with the Temple isn’t about architecture—it’s about anchoring the people’s identity and future in worship. For David, worship is more than music or rituals; it’s obedience, generosity, community, and a loving relationship with God and others. Worship is the way God’s people flourish.

True success isn't found in achievement but in wholehearted devotion. David's success as a shepherd-king stemmed from his pure heart that genuinely loved God. This allowed him to serve God with a willing mind because true obedience flows from love.
