Baldhead Bible Podcast

Have you ever felt deathly afraid? I mean that feeling in the pit of your stomach that something horrifying is about to happen? Well, this whole episode is full of fear: David is afraid of Saul, he's scared of King Achish, and sadly, in the end, David is scared of the growing insanity of King Saul. But behind it all, David trusts in God. Read Psalm 34, which David wrote probably during or soon after the events in this week's story, to see the faith David always carried even in the middle of his darkest moments.

In this week's Waxing the Dome aftershow, I am interviewing the program director of Trout Creek Bible Camp, Ben Tissell. In this episode, we find out his camp name, the fact that his name is entirely made up, and other interesting stuff. I am making it free this week, but usually, this episode is only available to Baldhead Bible podcast subscribers. Why not become a supporter for only $1 a month and never miss an aftershow.

David is going to be the new King. God has chosen him and rejected Saul, yet Saul is desperate to hang on to the Kingdom, even as he sees Yahweh favoring David. Saul begins to be jealous of David, and his jealousy leads to anger, and it then leads to rage: a rage that is bent on killing David. Will he succeed? What will happen? Listen to this week's story to find out.

David has been anointed King and is asked to come to play the lyre to calm the King's nerves. Why is King Saul so upset? Well, he is dealing with a demonic spirit and he is losing a battle to someone named Goliath. What is he going to do? Find out what happens by listening to this week's episode.

We begin this story with Samuel grieving over the failure and rejection of Saul. But God says to quit grieving and go to Bethlehem because He has found a new King and one that is truly devoted to Him. And you know who that is? Listen on to find out.

To obey is better than sacrifice, that is the truth Saul learns this week. But the sad thing is he learns it the hard way, and the kingdom is ripped from him and given to someone else. Hear this tragic story, and may we all learn from it.

Jonathan is brave and successful in battle. He eats honey not knowing it was against a new law Saul had rashly made. Jonathan is to be put to death, but his soldiers stand up for him.

Jonathan is the son of Saul, and a man that we met for the first time in last weeks episode. This week we begin to see the great faith that Jonathan had, especially in comparison to his father King Saul. It was a faith that made Jonathan climb a cliff and take on a whole army by himself. It is a faith from which we can learn a lot.

Saul gets impatient and doesn't wait for Samuel to make the Sacrifice before the battle. Saul just does it himself, and God is displeased. Saul's troops desert and Saul is humiliated in battle.

Samuel may have doubted Saul's kingship abilities initially, but when the Spirit of the Lord comes upon Saul, he becomes a force to be reconned with. Nahash, "the Snake" is afraid of no one until he meets Saul in battle. Tune in to hear this amazing account of God's mighty power, and Samuel's farewell.
