About this episode

This episode discusses the challenges faced by David as he navigates his faith while being pursued by Saul, emphasizing the spiritual battle that ensues when one chooses to trust and obey God.

Six chapters in, and this has become David’s life... On the run from his own people, being hunted down by his own leader and mentor, psycho king, Saul. Have you ever been there? When you begin to respond to God’s leading in your life, and it feels like all hell breaks loose! This is a poignant reminder of an important principle that appears frequently throughout Scripture... ANYTIME YOU MAKE A DECISION TO TRUST AND OBEY GOD IN YOUR LIFE, YOU ARE BY DEFAULT TAKING YOUR STAND AGAINST THE KINGDOM OF DARKNESS. BECAUSE THERE IS NO SWITZERLAND IN THE SPIRITUAL REALM! So... What do you do when you’re doing your best to make godly choices, to obey God, and yet it seems as if the world is conspiring against you?
