Text if you need me? Prayer or just need encouragement…

Some moments knock the wind out of you. Others ask what you’ll reach for next. We close the book of 1 Samuel with a raw look at rock bottom, Saul’s fear driving him to a forbidden medium, David’s home in ashes at Ziklag, and a personal heartbreak that rewired faith in the quiet aftermath.

I walk through Saul’s final spiral, where years of wanting answers without relationship end in a desperate gamble for spiritual shortcuts. We unpack why Scripture forbids consulting the dead, how God interrupts the scene with Samuel’s message, and what it means to desire relief more than repentance. The takeaway isn’t superstition; it’s a sober reminder that the spiritual world is real and that shortcuts cost more than we expect.

Then we pivot to David’s collapse and comeback. Alongside the text, I share a college heartbreak that left me unraveling—and how prayer, closure, and surrender set a new course toward the marriage, family, and calling I carry today.

If you’re standing at your own lowest point, this conversation offers more than comfort. It offers a choice: spiral inward like Saul or turn Godward like David. Expect practical reflection, honest storytelling, and a clear path to take the next step in faith. If this encouraged you, subscribe, share it with a friend, and leave a review—then tell me: where have you seen God begin rebuilding at rock bottom?
