Christian, John Luke, Al, and Zach reflect on how objectifying women leads to far-reaching consequences, using David’s downfall as a sobering case study. They examine how lust distorts responsibility, turns people into collateral damage, and quietly erodes families and faith long before the fallout becomes public. Al uses his own experience with infidelity in a marriage to point to hope rooted in Psalm 51, which urges repentance, humility, and restoration as the only path forward after failure.

In this episode: 2 Samuel 11, verses 1–27; 2 Samuel 12, verses 1–14; 2 Samuel 12, verses 15–23; Psalm 51, verses 1–19; Genesis 1, verse 28; Genesis 39, verses 7–12; Exodus 1, verses 1–8; Revelation 12, verse 11; 1 Kings 2, verses 1–4; Ezekiel 23, verses 1–35

Encounter the beauty of the Bible.

The David Story: Shepherd, Father, King explores the lives of Israel's first two kings—Saul and David—to discover the Bible’s profound lessons about fatherhood, the nature of sin, and the consequences of sin on both a family and a nation. While David suffers great tragedies due to his own transgressions, he models a path to redemption through repentance.

Join Professor Justin Jackson in a careful reading of First and Second Samuel to gain a deeper understanding of the meaning and beauty of this story that is not only fundamental to the Christian and Jewish faiths, but also a literary masterpiece.

Martin’s birthday gift immediately has Uncle Si’s Big Brother paranoia spiraling out of control. John-David mines Si’s vast resource of home remedies for all sorts of embarrassing personal problems, but his and Phillip’s beard-growth suggestion may be a step too far. Si reminds everyone of the trigger-happy self-defense clause he works into all his contracts, and the boys lift up a young lady in prayer who was recently faced with a difficult diagnosis.

The Robertsons address the decay of America’s biggest and most beautiful cities, pointing to lawlessness, failed leadership, and what happens when humanity gives in to its darkest desires without restraint. Jase admits that trusting Amish healing advice briefly turned him into something resembling a human blowtorch. The guys explore the difference between idolatry and dominion, arguing that when people surrender control to creation instead of cultivating it under God, chaos follows. They reflect on how God’s light reveals truths we can’t understand when we’re determined to live in our own darkness.

Jase offers a painfully funny account of a pre-dawn mishap that leaves his family jewels in serious jeopardy and the rest of the room somewhere between laughing and wincing. Al celebrates turning 61 and reflects on feeling healthier than ever—even as Jase’s story proves that the margin for error gets slimmer with age. The guys lay out an overview of 1 John, as well as an account of John’s remarkable life. They also dig into why the early church had to defend the truth that Jesus really appeared in the flesh, not as an idea or symbol, but as a living, tangible person. 

In this episode: Proverbs 6, verses 26–29; John 20, verses 30–31; 1 Timothy 3, verse 16; John 17, verses 20–26; 1 John 1-5
