About this episode

The episode discusses Saul's quiet avoidance of his responsibilities as king and the importance of stepping into God's calling.

Saul was crowned king of Israel and went home—no charge to the nation, no march to the palace, no address to the people, just home. The avoidance is quiet but consistent, and it is costing him everything: his family is standing and the trust of a nation that needs a king. Then the Spirit of God interrupts the pattern. What follows is a reminder that it is never too late to step into what God has called you to do, and that He always goes before us when we do.
