1 Samuel 18-31. 

After his calling to be king and courage in defeating Goliath, you would think David's life would only be marked by victory and favor. And yet, shortly after his early successes, David is met with ongoing struggles in his story. Through no fault of his own, David will spend a lengthy season in the caves of the wilderness hiding from King Saul. It is in this season that God trains David to grow in his dependency on the LORD. In this episode we explore David in the cave and what to do when life does not go according to plan. Where many of us are tempted to spiral inward or control outward, David goes upward to God. In the midst of our own seasons of discouragement, depression, and despair, we can bring all that we are before God knowing that God is always there.
