This week, Logan and Kirk are back as we continue our Samuel series with a verse-by-verse walk through of 1 Samuel 8. They talk honestly about Israel’s demand for a king, the danger of wanting what everyone else has, and how getting what we want is not always the same as receiving God’s blessing. It’s a real conversation about leadership, surrender, trusting God’s timing, and letting Scripture shape everyday life.
