In this part one, we dive deep into the story of David—the shepherd boy chosen to be Israel’s greatest king. But before his rise, we must first understand the fall of Saul, the last judge, and the evolving concept of God within the Hebrew Scriptures.

From the crisis-driven leadership of the judges to Israel’s desire for a king, this journey explores how power, leadership, and divine purpose shape history. What does it truly mean to be “a man after God’s own heart”? And how does David’s story ultimately point us to Jesus?

🔹 The last judge & the first king
🔹 The evolving idea of God in Scripture
🔹 Saul’s failure & David’s unexpected anointing
🔹 What leadership should look like

Join us as we unpack the significance of David’s introduction—and what it means for us today.

Let’s start the new year expanding ideas of intimacy, attention, and intention as more of an art than a solution. The thing about art––be it dancing, painting, or writing––is that there are endless layers and iterations to all that we create.

Join us this week as we explore The Art of Attention—the second installment in our series on intimacy and relationships. Building on last week’s focus on intentionality, we’ll dive into what it means to truly listen, notice, and connect with the people in our lives.

This episode covers:
• The lessons hidden in everyday moments, like a Tuesday family dinner.
• How our brains naturally filter information and the importance of curiosity in overcoming these limits.
• A deeper look at Jesus’ attentive interactions in John 5 and how they challenge us to be more present.

Discover how genuine attention can reshape relationships, give others agency, and build connection—both with those around us and within ourselves.
