Producer Stephen recently shared that one of his favorite hymns is "Trust and Obey". A great line from that hymn is "For there's no other way, to be happy in Jesus. Than to Trust and Obey." Obeying the Lord is certainly an important factor of living a life that is connected to God. As dual citizens, we must find ways to obey God both inside and outside the walls of the church. 

Who is the best leader you can think of? Is there anyone in your life that was super easy to follow? King David was certainly a great leader. However, even as a great leader, we can see a massive difference between David leading the Israelites towards God's plan and David ignoring God's plan to suit his own desires. Join Jonathan, Matt, and Stephen as they discuss David's rise to leadership and the beginning of his new role as king. 

Many of us read the story of the end of Saul's life and can't but think to a time where it seemed like nothing was going our way. Although most of us have probably never had an experience with conjuring the ghost of a prophet, I think we can all identify with Saul's story to some degree. Join Stephen, Matt, and Jonathan as they discuss chapters 28 & 31 of 1 Samuel. 

"Don't make me angry. You won't like me when I'm angry." Anger is a strange emotion that is often misconstrued. While most of us don't necessarily turn into The Hulk when we get angry, many of us do struggle with allowing anger to get the best of us. How do we approach difficult situations that make us angry? Is there a proper use of anger in a Biblical context? Learn the answer to these questions and many more with Nathan, Matt, and Stephen as they talk through the events of 1 Samuel 25:9-35. 

Does anyone remember the movie Jungle Book? (I am of-course referring to the better made cartoon version from the 90's). Every time I think of someone getting another person to trust them I can't help but think of Kaa singing "Trusssssssst in meeeeee".....am I the only one...I guess so.... WELL, God doesn't have to beg for our attention. He knows exactly how to call us into the next part of His plan. No one understood that more than David. Join Matt, Jonathan, and Stephen as they discuss the ways that David trusted in God's plan, and rose to the occasion when He called. 

Any spelunkers out there? There are two types of people when it comes to caves; Those that find them scary and those that find them fascinating. I think it is safe to say that David was more of the first type of person. He didn't like caves very much, but he didn't let that stop him from accomplishing God's plan. Join Matt, Jonathan, and Stephen as they discuss the way that David responds to being in a season of caves. 

"You've got a friend in me. Oh you've got a friend in me!" I can't help but think of this song when I read about Jonathan and David's friendship. Maybe you had a great friend that you think of who was more of a best friend. Jonathan and David were definitely best friends. Join Matt, Jonathan, and Stephen as they talk about the true meaning of friendship by diving into 1 Samuel 20.

Comparison is a hard topic these days. We tend to compare ourselves to others often. Jealousy is running rampant in our culture as it has for all of time. It is hard for us to root for someones success amidst our own failures. Especially when our phones bring us a constant image of people who seem to have everything put together and perfect. How does Daniel remain so humble in the midst of his season of winning? How do Saul and Jonathan react to the rise of David as a leader? What can we learn from Saul's struggle with comparison? Join Jonathan, Matt, and Stephen as they discuss 1 Samuel 18:1-11. 

How many times in life have you felt as if you have to over come a giant in order to do what God has called you to? Did you trust God enough to stand in courage in the face of such a daunting task? How did David stand with so much courage when facing Goliath? Join Matt and Jonathan as they discuss the story of David vs Goliath.

How do we know if God has called us to a new purpose? What is the difference between calling and anointing? The story of Saul and David paints two separate reactions to calls from God. Join Matt, Jonathan, and Stephen as they discuss this passage from 1 Samuel 16:14-23.
