In this episode of our Catholic Commentary series, Dr. Ben Akers and Dr. Tim Gray unpack Episode 5 of House of David. They explore the importance of the Shema prayer, Jesus’ teaching on loving God with our heart, soul, mind, and strength, and how David learns to pray and trust God. They also discuss Saul’s complex role as king and father, the love story between David and Michal, and how Scripture reveals God’s faithfulness even through human weakness.
Whether you’re watching House of David on Amazon Prime or diving into 1 Samuel, this episode will help you engage the story with the mind of the Church.
