In this episode of Also Featured in the Cast, I turn our attention to the Solomon story—but not to Solomon himself. Instead, we explore the often-overlooked characters who shaped his rise to the throne and the lessons they still teach us today.
From the bold prophet Nathan, who spoke both judgment and grace, to the faithful priest Zadok, the scheming Joab, the vain Adonijah, and the complex Bathsheba, each person represents a powerful truth about God’s dealings with His people. Together, they reveal the balance between the prophetic and priestly voices of God—the edge that cuts and convicts, and the edge that heals and restores.
Through their stories, we see that God’s will is not simply to make us happy, but to make us holy.
