Episode Synopsis

Title: Responding with Self-Control: David’s Restraint Toward Saul Anchor Text: 1 Samuel 26:9 Contemporary Quote: *"You can’t control someone else’s behavior, but you can control how you respond to it." — Roy T. BennettDavid’s self-control set a precedent for all leaders. He didn’t confuse opportunity with divine permission. He understood that timing, motive, and method matter to God.In leadership today, self-control is required in boardrooms, pulpits, group chats, and personal conversations. When you are falsely accused or undermined, self-control means choosing silence over slander, wisdom over reaction.This week, ask yourself:Where am I most tempted to lose control—in speech, emotion, or behavior?Who or what pushes my buttons as a leader?How can I rely on the Holy Spirit to strengthen my self-control? Recognitions Music: Nathaniel BasseyPastor Fola Ogundipe, The Voice of Truth Ministries, Mount View, Minneapolis, USA  Olive Tree Bible App Bible versions: AMPC, NLT, NIV, KJV Commentary / Study Bibles: McArthur, Quest SBN, Thompson Chain Reference, NKJV SBN, Chronological LASB NLT References & Further Readings Keller, T.
