SHOW NOTES:

In Podcast Episode 201, “Where Did the ‘Face Down a Giant Warrior’ Faith Go?” Kim discusses the differences between the faith David displayed when he faced Goliath (1 Samuel 17) and the lack of faith he displayed as he fled from Jerusalem and Absalom (2 Samuel 15:13-15). What did and did not happen in the life of David to bring him to this sad day? How about you? Is your faith growing or have your faith muscles atrophied? What will you do today to prevent the “What happened?” question from being an issue?

The primary scripture text is 2 Samuel 15:13-15:

13 A messenger soon arrived in Jerusalem to tell David, “All Israel has joined Absalom in a conspiracy against you!”

14 “Then we must flee at once, or it will be too late!” David urged his men. “Hurry! If we get out of the city before Absalom arrives, both we and the city of Jerusalem will be spared from disaster.”

15 “We are with you,” his advisers replied. “Do what you think is best.”
