Episodes

  1. The Cave and The Crown

    David is hiding in a cave, uncertain of what comes next. Saul is sitting on the throne, desperately trying to maintain control. One man is learning to trust God’s promises, while the other is allowing pride and insecurity to lead him toward destruction. In this study of 1 Samuel 22, we follow…

  2. When You Can’t See the Way

    David knew where God had promised to take him, but he had no idea how he was going to get there. With Saul pursuing him and no clear path forward, David found himself afraid, uncertain, and forced to make difficult decisions. In 1 Samuel 21, along with Psalms 34 and 56, we see that fear and faith...

  3. Fighting, Surrendering, and Waiting

    What happens when what God is doing isn’t what you wanted God to do? In the closing verses of 1 Samuel 20, we see three very different responses. Saul fights God’s will. Jonathan surrenders to God’s will even when it costs him. And David is left waiting on God’s will when he doesn’t know what…

  5. When God’s Plan Isn’t Your Plan

    David knows God has promised him the throne, yet Saul is still trying to kill him. Jonathan is the natural heir to that same throne, yet he recognizes that God has chosen David and refuses to fight against what God is doing. In 1 Samuel 20:1–23, David and Jonathan face God’s plan from very...

  6. God Is My Defense

    It’s been a little quiet around here. While I haven’t been sending many emails lately, one thing that has continued consistently is the Committed Way podcast. Each week, I’ve been teaching through the book of 1 Samuel in our adult Sunday School class and sharing those lessons on the podcast. I’m...

  7. Behave Yourself Wisely

    In 1 Samuel 18:17–30, Saul becomes increasingly determined to control his future and remove David from the picture. He uses promises, people, spiritual language, and even his own daughters in an attempt to manipulate circumstances and accomplish what he wants. David, however, cannot see…

  8. The Lord Was With Him

    David’s victory over Goliath was only the beginning. In 1 Samuel 18, he must now navigate two pressures that have undone many people: success and opposition. While Jonathan responds to David with selfless friendship, Saul responds with comparison, jealousy, fear, and eventually violence. Yet...

  9. More Than an Underdog Story

    In one of the most familiar stories in Scripture, David steps onto the battlefield against Goliath as the obvious underdog—or so it seems. But David’s confidence wasn’t in his strength, experience, armor, or ability. It was in the God who had already proven Himself faithful. In this lesson from 1...

  10. Fear or Faith?

    In one of the most familiar stories in Scripture, it can be easy to rush ahead to David’s victory over Goliath and miss what happened before the battle ever began. In 1 Samuel 17:1–30, Israel’s army is paralyzed by fear while a young David arrives at the battlefield with an entirely different...

  11. The Lord is With Him

    In this lesson from 1 Samuel 16:14–23, we examine the dramatic contrast between the lives of Saul and David. After Saul's persistent disobedience, the Spirit of the Lord departs from him, and he is troubled by an evil spirit. What does this difficult passage mean, and how should Christians...

  14. The Agag We Spare

    Saul had a clear command from God… but partial obedience felt easier than complete surrender. In 1 Samuel 15, we see how compromise, pride, blame-shifting, and outward religion slowly exposed a rebellious heart. But this lesson isn’t just about Saul. It’s about us. What “Agag” are we still…

  15. When Leadership Weakens the People

    What happens when a leader starts operating in pride instead of faith? In this episode, we walk through 1 Samuel 14:24-52 and see the sharp contrast between Jonathan’s faith-filled leadership and Saul’s flesh-driven leadership. One strengthened God’s people. The other weakened them with fear,...

  16. Two Men vs. 30,000

    What do you do when you’re outnumbered, outmatched, and everyone else is sitting still? In this week’s lesson from 1 Samuel 14, we step into a moment where Israel is paralyzed by fear—while their king hides under a tree. But one man, Jonathan, chooses a different path. With nothing but faith in…

    more
  17. A Moment that Cost Him Everything

    What do you do when you know what God said—but everything around you is telling you to do something else? In 1 Samuel 13, Israel finally has their king. This is what they wanted. A leader to fight their battles. And at first, things look promising. Jonathan steps out in faith and wins a bold...

  18. When God Isn't Your First Response

    In this lesson from 1 Samuel 12, we finally arrive at the passage that shaped our church theme this year: “with all your heart.” Israel had just experienced a great victory, but underneath the celebration was a deeper issue—they were trusting a king instead of trusting God. And Samuel steps in to...

  19. Saul vs. The Serpent

    In this episode, we walk through 1 Samuel chapter 11 and discover what happens when fear meets faith. Israel is faced with a terrifying enemy who offers peace—but at a devastating cost: their strength, their dignity, and their future. It’s a powerful picture of how Satan still works today…

  20. 3 Lessons for a Young King (and a Christian Living in 2026)

    In this week’s study of 1 Samuel 10, we follow Saul as he moves from an ordinary errand into an extraordinary calling. Just days earlier, Saul was searching for his father’s lost donkeys. Now, he is being anointed as the future king of Israel. This chapter reveals not only the beginning of Saul’s...

    This week, while reading an article on Substack, I came across a paragraph that leaped off the page.
