September 11, 2019 106: Abner (Saul's General) Defects to David (2 Samuel 3)
After many years serving King Saul and his family, the commander of his army, Abner, decides that David is better suited to leading Israel than his nephew Ish-bosheth. This is a BIG DEAL, since Abner was responsible for leading the Israelite forces in hunting down David (now king of Judah). After years of bitterness and rivalry, David's foe has decided to switch sides. But will there be consequences? We shall see...

August 21, 2019 103: David Mourns His Best Friend and Worst Enemy (2 Samuel 1)
Saul, in agony after trying to kill himself, cries out to a passerby to put him out of his misery...and he does. But would this guy be rewarded for extending mercy to the king? David doesn't think he should. Even in death, Saul is respected and honoured by David, a man he has tried to kill countless times. David also learns of his best mate's death and tears his clothes in anguish. A very emotional day for David, one which is set to propel him onto the throne, unless one of Saul's other sons claims it first...

August 14, 2019 102: Ziklag Ransacked! Saul Killed! (1 Samuel 29-31)
We round out the book of 1 Samuel by reading about David's band's home base of Ziklag (located in Philistia) being destroyed and all their possessions and families being taken by unforeseen enemies. They mount a swift recovery mission and kill everyone (except 400 guys on camels, apparently?!).
Meanwhile, Saul and his sons are fighting with the Philistines on some mountain slopes and they are defeated. Serves them right for ignoring God's warning, but whatever. Now Saul is dead, but David doesn't know.

August 07, 2019 101: The Necromancer (1 Samuel 28)
In desperation, Saul resorts to witchcraft and pagan spiritism when God doesn't answer him. But who is this woman? Was she a Hebrew or a Gentile? Was she an Ewok? Samuel is "summoned" (channelled?) by the witch and prophesies death for Saul and his sons in the coming battle. Will Saul heed the warning and submit to Yahweh before it's too late? We shall see...

July 30, 2019 100: What If David DID Kill Saul? (1 Samuel 26-27)
Ryan solves the Freewill/Predestination debate by explaining branching timelines.
If David had killed Saul, would there have been consequences? Was Saul's bloodline God's original plan for Jesus? Was Saul truly repentant when David spared him the second time? This is a juicy episode; tune in to find out the answers to these questions!

July 18, 2019 99: A Bloke Dies and David Marries His Wife (1 Samuel 25)
We begin the chapter with the death of a major player: Samuel. We continue the chapter with a dolt, Nabal, being mean and selfish. We end the chapter with "God killing Nabal" (whatever that means) and David marrying the dead man's wife...AND ANOTHER WOMAN!

July 10, 2019 98: David Chooses NOT to Kill Saul (1 Samuel 23-24, Psalm 57-58)
In a shocking display of humility and self-restraint, David decides letting the man who would have his head live is the most God-honouring choice. Incredible. There Saul was, pooping in a cave, and David cuts off the corner of his cloak instead of...anything else. Saul has been trying to snuff him out for ages, and David just lets him go. Tune in to hear our take on this crazy story and what it could mean for David's kingship.

July 02, 2019 97: Saul's Bloody Pursuit of David (1 Samuel 22 & Psalm 142)
David hides out in the Cave of Wonders, accidentally amassing an army of ruffians and thugs, while Saul tries to sniff him out, intent on murdering him. A community of priests unknowingly find themselves at the edge of Saul's sword after assisting David. We also gain a bit of insight into David's mindset through the Psalms.
