In this week's episode, we follow the dramatic early journey of David before he ever wore a crown. A humble shepherd is secretly anointed to be Israel’s next king, yet his path is anything but straightforward. He shocks the nation by slaying Goliath, rises as a celebrated war hero, and then becomes a fugitive, narrowly escaping Saul’s attempts on his life. Through triumph and pursuit, God’s favor follows him, setting the stage for a divine elevation that begins as Saul’s reign nears its end. This episode is a story of calling, conflict, and the mysterious work of God in shaping a king.
