This week, we’re revisiting the story of David—but through the lens of his deep and loyal friendship with Jonathan. It’s complicated: Jonathan is the son of Saul, the very man trying to kill David, and David is married to Saul’s daughter. Talk about family drama!

We’ll explore themes of paranoia, uncertainty, friendship, and honesty—and what they reveal about Saul’s growing insecurity and David’s unwavering bond with Jonathan.

Along the way, we’ll unpack:

✅ Why Saul’s paranoia led to his downfall

✅ How Hebrew poetry shapes our understanding of this story

✅ What David & Jonathan’s friendship teaches us about real intimacy

✅ Why true friends don’t just hype you up—they tell you the hard truths

And yes, we’ll even talk about why it’s so hard to say “I love you” to a friend—and how social media has changed the way we express closeness.

Don’t miss this deep dive into one of the Bible’s most powerful friendships. Hit play, and let’s explore together!
