The Lust of King David (7DS, E4)

Lust is the overwhelming desire for something that yields physical gratification. The object of one’s lust is often forbidden or considered deviant. The desire most thought of when considering lust is that of a sexual nature. Nearly every man can relate to this kind of lust because most have fallen prey to and continue to battle against it. We can easily consider some of the most obvious examples of lust, but often ignore the temptation festering in our own minds and how we are just one step away from falling into its clutches. One man who succumbed to such a trap was the most celebrated leader of the ancient Kingdom of Israel - King David. In this episode, we’ll explore what led to his rise to power and how he nearly threw it all away when he allowed lustful temptation to get control of him.
