We know the Sunday school version of David: he defeated the giant Goliath and would go on to be Israel's most successful and celebrated king. Much less is mentioned about the other side of David: adulterer and murderer.

Dr. Bruce Becker takes us into the crimes of King David as recorded in 1 Samuel—which is one of the most detailed accounts of any crime recorded in the Bible. David's crimes were not only deadly; they had consequences that lasted generations.

About our podcast "Bible Threads With Dr. Bruce Becker": 

The Bible can be intimidating, right? There are 66 different books, more than 700,000 words, and all of it was written over a period of 1,600 years by dozens of different authors. How do we make sense of it all, and what does it mean for our lives? Amazingly, the Bible is incredibly interconnected with “threads” that run through it from beginning to end. In this podcast, Bible scholar and author Dr. Bruce Becker will uncover these threads, help you dig deeper into God’s truth, and inspire you to live your life with greater confidence and joy. 

Dr. Becker brings his vast experience to share with you through this podcast. He has served as the pastor of a mission start in New York State; lead pastor of a church in Brillion, Wisconsin; and a ministry coach to churches and schools.
