This week on Go & Do, Candis Shupe explores the rise and fall of King Saul, a man who started with a new heart, great potential, and God’s trust… but slowly traded obedience for popularity and convenience.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
⚖️ Why Israel’s demand for a king reveals a common trap we still face today, wanting what everyone else has
👑 How Saul went from God’s chosen leader to a cautionary tale about pride, impatience, and people-pleasing
❤️ Why David was chosen as the next king and what God looks for when He chooses His servants
Saul wanted the blessings of following God without fully following God. And in the end, partial obedience became disobedience. The question for us is simple: What are the “kings” in our lives? What voices are we listening to more than the Lord’s?
Because God isn’t looking for perfection, he’s looking for willing hearts that choose Him first. ✨
Go & Do Challenge
- This week’s challenge is a little different and more entailed because we find it multiple verses
- 1 Sam 18:5 - behave wisely
- 1 Sam 18:14 - behave wisely
- 1 Sam 18:15 - behave very wisely
- 1 Sam 18:30 - behave more wisely than all
- It is your why – make the choice to honor your covenants with God, put Him first, even when it may be hard
- “May we maintain the courage to defy the consensus. May we ever choose the harder right instead of the easier wrong.” (Pres. Monson, GC April 2016)
- Behave wisely = make following God your WHY
