“Give Us A King!”

About this episode

The episode discusses the dangers of seeking worldly solutions over trusting in God, using the Israelites' demand for a king as a cautionary tale.

How often do we as Christians look to worldly and pragmatic solutions to the issues we face in life? The Israelites demanded that God give them a king like the other nations, thinking he would solve all their problems. God gave them exactly what they asked for, but it was a judgment on their unwillingness to submit to him. Are we willing to face the price of trusting the world over God? From the article, "Give Us A King!" published on January 5, 2026.
