Season 9 Episode 13 | Prophets, Shepherds, Poets and Kings | 1 Samuel 20

Prophets, Shepherds, Poets and Kings is a series delving into the history of the people of God found in 1 and 2 Samuel. Beginning with a a longed for baby, we continue with a cry for a king, fulfilled in the anointing of Saul. To begin with we noticed that Saul took a lead with the people,  a series of catastrophic failures followed leading to God rejecting him as king. Then we met a young shepherd boy called David who was a keen harpist and giant slayer in this series which we’re calling this Prophets, Shepherds, Poets and Kings. 

The story continues in 1 Samuel 20 with an exploration of covenantal friendship and the story of David and Jonathan. There's discussion of family dynamics, archery and how to be a good friend.

There are segments to enjoy including the reading of the passage, 'The Cloud' and 'What Now?'.

This episode was engineered and edited by Aimee Higgins.
