1 Samuel 22-26

Description:
In this week's episode, Katie, Matt, and Eric discuss the idea of "Wilderness" in relation to David running and hiding from King Saul.   As we look at the story of David hiding in caves and in the wilderness, what do we make of our own times of wilderness?  What happens when we are quiet enough to listen to our hearts?  How is our identity changed or perhaps discovered only when we experience the wilderness.  And why are we avoidant of doing reflective work?
