In this episode of Shifts and Ladders, Rion explores the side of King David’s strength almost no one talks about. Beyond the battles, the throne, and the “man after God’s own heart” label, there was a deeper, more integrated masculinity at work.

Rion unpacks how David held together warrior courage, emotional honesty, and radical dependence on God—and what that means for modern leaders who feel pressure to be strong, stoic, and always “on.”

You’ll learn how biblical strength isn’t about image management, but about becoming the kind of person God can trust with influence, even in hidden seasons.
