Ep. 186: The Art of Godly Confrontation

SHOW NOTES:

 

In Podcast Episode 186, “The Art of Godly Confrontation,” Kim discusses the confrontation between the prophet Nathan and King David. Confrontation is something the majority of us would rather avoid, but sometimes it is necessary. 

 

The primary scripture text for this episode is 2 Samuel 12:1-12 with 1-4 as the focal verses.

 

1 So the Lord sent Nathan the prophet to tell David this story: “There were two men in a certain town. One was rich, and one was poor. 2 The rich man owned a great many sheep and cattle. 3 The poor man owned nothing but one little lamb he had bought. He raised that little lamb, and it grew up with his children. It ate from the man’s own plate and drank from his cup. He cuddled it in his arms like a baby daughter. 4 One day a guest arrived at the home of the rich man. But instead of killing an animal from his own flock or herd, he took the poor man’s lamb and killed it and prepared it for his guest.”
