What Are We Looking For

About this episode

This episode explores the contrast between worldly expectations of leadership and God's preference for those who follow His heart, using the story of David as a reference.

The world looks for resumes, stature, and strength; God looks at the heart. We often think God needs "great" people to do great things, but the story of David proves He prefers the underdog. This week, we look at the transition from the palace to the pasture and ask the tough question: Are we looking for a leader who fits our image, or one who follows God’s heart?
