A Wise Woman | David's Life in 22 Stories

What this episode covers

We hail David as a great king, and rightly so, but he didn't do it alone. Sometimes we forget about the people who helped him along the way: people like Abigail. She was a wise woman who quelled the antipathy of two men "caught in the snare of foolishness." In this episode, https://www.thecrossingchurch.com/staff/patrick-miller/ (Patrick) discusses how God speaks to David through Abigail. Discover how a wise woman impacted David's legacy and consider whom He might be using to speak to you as we continue our series of https://www.thecrossingchurch.com/podcast-series/david-in-22-stories/ (David in 22).
