In this episode of Rooted, we explore 1 Samuel 10—the moment Israel finally gets what they’ve been asking for: a king. But as Saul steps onto the scene, tall, impressive, and everything the people thought they wanted, we start to see cracks beneath the surface.

What happens when God’s people choose appearance over obedience? When they trade trust in God for what looks powerful and popular?

Join us as we unpack the rise of Saul, the danger of misplaced expectations, and why true leadership has less to do with outward strength and everything to do with a surrendered heart.
