David killed a giant, led a nation, and wrote some of the most beautiful words about God ever recorded. He was also an adulterer and a murderer who fell apart when he stepped off the battlefield he was built for.

Justin has been studying David one Psalm at a time, and what he found was not a hero. It was a mirror. In this episode, Justin unpacks what David's life actually teaches us about preparation, purpose, struggle, and what it means to be a man after God's own heart when you are still very much a work in progress.
