Ironworks | Desperate Decisions

About this episode

The episode explores David's poor decisions while fleeing from King Saul and offers lessons on responding to trials with godliness and wisdom.

David’s fear-fueled, frenzied flight from King Saul in 1 Samuel 21 leads him into a series of choices that serve as an example of what not to do in moments of trial and trouble. In our November 2025 Ironworks study, we take a closer look at David’s actions to help us learn how to respond in godliness, strength, and wisdom when we face troubled times of our own.
