Episode Details

In 1 Chronicles 21, King David makes a costly decision: he orders a census of Israel, ignoring wise counsel and showing a lapse in trust toward God. The consequences are severe—a plague strikes the land. But this sobering moment becomes a turning point. David acknowledges his pride, seeks mercy, and builds an altar that marks both repentance and redemption. In today’s episode, we unpack how this story speaks to anyone who has relied too much on numbers, ignored red flags, or struggled to bounce back after a failure. The good news? God’s mercy still makes room for restoration.
