In this episode of Rooted, we dive into 1 Samuel 9 and the rise of Israel’s first king—Saul. He looks the part: tall, strong, impressive. But beneath the surface, Saul’s story reveals what happens when we chase what looks good instead of what’s truly right. From a lost-donkey mission to an unexpected meeting with the prophet Samuel, we’ll see how God uses even ordinary moments to reveal deep truths about leadership, faith, and the heart He desires.
Join us as we unpack what it means to trust God’s wisdom over appearances—and why the kind of king we follow still matters today.
