About this episode

Fr. Mike discusses the painful nature of betrayal as illustrated by Doeg the Edomite's actions against David and the priests.

In today's readings, we learn how Doeg the Edomite betrayed David, the priests, and the Lord. Fr. Mike explains that betrayal is painful because our hearts are deeply wounded when trust is broken. Today we read 1 Samuel 21-22 and Psalm 52. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear.
