Episode Title: What Is Your Intent?

Episode Description: God isn’t just concerned with what we do or say—He’s concerned with the intent of our hearts. In this episode, Pastor [Your Name] explores the stories of Saul and David through 1 Samuel 15:20–23 and Psalm 51.

Discover how Saul defended his actions while David humbly confessed his sin, and learn what these two contrasting responses teach us about obedience, repentance, and the posture of our hearts before God.

What You’ll Learn:

• How Saul’s outward obedience hid a rebellious heart
• How David’s brokenness led to true repentance
• Nathan’s parable and its life-changing confrontation
• Practical ways to align your actions with the intent of your heart

Scriptures Discussed:

• 1 Samuel 15:20–23
• 2 Samuel 12:1–7 (Nathan’s parable)
• Psalm 51:1–12
• Isaiah 29:13
• Psalm 34:18
• Hebrews 4:12

Reflection Questions:

1. When you sin, do you make excuses like Saul, or confess like David?
2. Are your acts of worship motivated by obedience or appearances?
3. What is the intent behind your daily choices—work, family, ministry, relationships?

Takeaway: God desires a surrendered heart more than perfection or ritual. This week, examine your intent and pray like David: “Create in me a clean heart, O God.”
