direct his political rise.

But then the second half, when he becomes king, you see that downfall and you see his priority shift and he starts to make political decisions.

He starts to make spiritual decisions or moral decisions based off his politics.

His power.

With Bathsheba, he tries to hide it.

With Michael, he brings her back to create this

I think it's complicated.

I think he, you know, it's some personal, some spiritual, some political or whatever, but it's very obvious that he's gone from shepherd to king and he wants to maintain his kinghood and he's forgetting about his task as shepherd.

No, that's so good.

I mean, I think... Oh, sorry, go ahead.

No, you got it.

I think that is a danger, was a danger of David and the danger of in America right now is people using Christianity to advance their goals when they're actually just making political decisions instead of the other way around.

Instead of letting their...

their relationship with God or their view of moral or ethics or spirituality direct their politics, they're saying, I've got the right idea for the nation and I'm gonna pick and choose these Bible verses or these ideas of God to help me attain those goals because I'm in the right.

And if the point is...

if it helps what I think God would want, like if it aligns with God's will, I'm super pro that.

I'm not saying don't do it, but we as Christians need to be super aware of that.

I'm saying like, what is the motivation here?

Because you can't swallow all the bull.

Here he is, right?
