Page: Feed: --- ## Beauty and Two Beasts Part 2 (1 Samuel 25:1-44) _2026-08-21 · Wisdom for the Heart_ Share a comment One careless insult can light a fuse that years of faithfulness never triggered. We watch David, the future king of Israel, go from steady endurance to a sword-strapped march of revenge after Nabal dismisses him with contempt. The shock is the point: character isn’t only tested by massive crises but by smaller slights that poke our pride. If you’ve ever been cheated, overlooked, or… [Listen](https://www.buzzsprout.com/2545810/episodes/19625383-beauty-and-two-beasts-part-2-1-samuel-25-1-44.mp3) ## Beauty and Two Beasts Part 1 (1 Samuel 25:1-44) _2026-08-20 · Wisdom for the Heart_ Share a comment A single insult can reveal what’s been building in the heart for weeks, maybe years. We start with a haunting phrase, “the disease of me,” and track how selfishness and resentment can spread through a team, a family, or a church until people who should be grateful become petty, reactive, and hard. To make it concrete, we retell an unforgettable sports moment from the 1981 Los… [Listen](https://www.buzzsprout.com/2545810/episodes/19625379-beauty-and-two-beasts-part-1-1-samuel-25-1-44.mp3) ## The Cat and the Mouse Part 2 (1 Samuel 23-24) _2026-08-19 · Wisdom for the Heart_ Share a comment You know the moment, the one where you finally have the upper hand. The text in front of us is 1 Samuel 24, and David is hiding in a cave at En Gedi while Saul hunts him with 3,000 elite soldiers. Then the impossible happens: Saul walks in alone, completely vulnerable. David’s men whisper that it’s destiny, that God has handed David the chance to end the threat and take what he’s… [Listen](https://www.buzzsprout.com/2545810/episodes/19625376-the-cat-and-the-mouse-part-2-1-samuel-23-24.mp3) ## The Cat and the Mouse Part 1 (1 Samuel 23-24) _2026-08-18 · Wisdom for the Heart_ Share a comment One moment. Two completely different conclusions about what “God’s will” must be. That’s the tension we sit in as we follow David’s flight from Saul through 1 Samuel 23 and 24, where the chase feels nonstop, the accusations are unfair, and the danger is real. If you’ve ever felt hunted at work, misjudged by family, or punished for doing the right thing, David’s story meets you… [Listen](https://www.buzzsprout.com/2545810/episodes/19625368-the-cat-and-the-mouse-part-1-1-samuel-23-24.mp3) ## The Original Robin Hood (1 Samuel 21-22) _2026-08-17 · Wisdom for the Heart_ Share a comment David’s story takes a hard left when fear takes the wheel. He’s hungry, hunted, and making split-second choices that don’t look like the fearless giant-slayer we remember. We walk through 1 Samuel 21 to 22 as David lies at Nob, eats the holy bread, and then reaches for the one symbol that should have been unnecessary: Goliath’s sword. That moment becomes a mirror for the way our… [Listen](https://www.buzzsprout.com/2545810/episodes/19625364-the-original-robin-hood-1-samuel-21-22.mp3) ## Storm Clouds Part 2 (1 Samuel 19-20) _2026-08-14 · Wisdom for the Heart_ Share a comment Have you ever felt like life turned against you for no good reason? You did the right thing, obeyed God, and served faithfully, only to watch storm clouds gather where the sun had just been shining. What do you do when doing right leads to being hunted? In this episode, Stephen Davey opens 1 Samuel 19 and 20 and continues his series on the life of David. The pretense is finally… [Listen](https://www.buzzsprout.com/2545810/episodes/19598535-storm-clouds-part-2-1-samuel-19-20.mp3) ## Storm Clouds Part 1 (1 Samuel 19-20) _2026-08-13 · Wisdom for the Heart_ Share a comment Have you ever felt like life turned against you for no good reason?

Not the wisdom of clever answers or shrewd strategies, but the kind that shapes how you respond to praise, criticism, promotion, and setbacks.

What if that popular reading actually misses the whole point of what happened in the Valley of Blood? In this episode, Stephen Davey opens 1 Samuel 17 and walks you through one of the most familiar accounts in Scripture with fresh clarity. Israel is not just facing a military… [Listen](https://www.buzzsprout.com/2545810/episodes/19598495-david-and-the-sitting-duck-part-2-1-samuel-17.mp3) ## [100,000 Bonus Points Await You (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/wLC17hJpftus) _2026-08-10 · **Sponsored**_ Earn 100,000 bonus points after spending $5,000 in the first 3 months. ## David and the Sitting Duck Part 1 (1 Samuel 17) _2026-08-07 · Wisdom for the Heart_ Share a comment A story you think you know can still confront you. David and Goliath gets retold as a motivational underdog win, but that version can miss the sharpest edge of 1 Samuel 17. We dig into the line that changes everything: the soldiers describe Goliath as defying Israel, while David insists Goliath is defying the armies of the living God. One group sees a giant. David sees a… [Listen](https://www.buzzsprout.com/2545810/episodes/19487983-david-and-the-sitting-duck-part-1-1-samuel-17.mp3) ## An Unlikely King Part 2 (I Samuel 16:1-13) _2026-08-06 · Wisdom for the Heart_ Share a comment A king is chosen while another king still rules, and almost nobody in the room understands what just happened. We head to Bethlehem with Samuel as God stages a decision that feels backwards to human instincts: not a warrior, not the most impressive brother, not the obvious résumé. The tension is real, too. Saul’s reign is unraveling, enemies are nearby, and a public announcement… [Listen](https://www.buzzsprout.com/2545810/episodes/19487968-an-unlikely-king-part-2-i-samuel-16-1-13.mp3)
