About this episode
This episode explores the concept of God's will as a process of formation rather than a rigid plan, using the stories of Saul and David to discuss themes of obedience and mercy.
Is God’s will a fragile blueprint you can fall out of, or something deeper? In this message, we explore how Scripture reframes God’s will not as perfection or a single life-plan, but as formation, a life bending toward Christ. Through the stories of Saul and David, we consider obedience, shame, suffering, and the mercy that meets us when we turn.
