In this episode, we dissect the political and familial intricacies of Absalom's coup against his father, King David -- shedding light on the manipulation, subterfuge, and fractured relationships that underpin this biblical narrative.

Then we discuss the ethical implications of David's actions, the oft-overlooked experiences of the concubines left behind, and the broader impact on the people of Israel before we draw parallels to contemporary leadership challenges in religious communities ... emphasizing the importance of addressing traumas and injustices to prevent long-lasting harm and discord.

Join me to explore the true nature of biblical prophecy and challenge the common dispensationalist view of prophecy as future telling. Through examples from the Hebrew Bible and Revelation, we will see how prophecy focuses on calling people back to God's covenant and priorities, offering conditional future insight, and comfort during exile. This episode will encourage you to rethink the spiritual gift of prophecy as confronting hard truths rather than predicting the future.
