Episode Synopsis


In this episode of Coffee with the Superintendent, we look at a sobering moment from 1 Samuel 22:6–23, where Saul’s jealousy leads to one of the darkest acts in Israel’s history—the slaughter of God’s priests at Nob. We uncover how this event reveals humanity’s deep need for a righteous King who uses power to protect, not destroy, and how God’s plan for redemption continues even when leadership fails. In The Second Pour, we turn our attention to the Berean family—celebrating alumni birthdays, cheering on our middle schoolers, recognizing our elementary students, and praying for the safety of our traveling students. Today’s message reminds us that even when the world grows dark, God’s covenant grace continues to shine through His people.
