S1E15-The King Israel Wanted… and the One God Chose

Apr 17, 2026    Chris Bryant

In Week 15 of the Year of the Word Companion Podcast, we walk through 1 Samuel 1–2, 3, 8, 9–10, 13–14, and 15–16. As Israel transitions from judges to kings, we explore what happens when people choose a king based on appearance rather than trusting God as their true King. Through the stories of Hannah, Samuel, Saul, and David, we’re reminded that God isn’t looking at outward success—He’s looking at the heart.
