David is on the run, but he’s not alone. In 1 Samuel 19–20, we witness one of the Bible’s most moving friendships. Jonathan, Saul’s son, risks his future and safety to protect David. Their covenant friendship shows us that loyalty isn't passive—it’s active, courageous, and rooted in righteousness. This episode explores what it means to stand beside those God has called, even when it costs us something personally.

• Jonathan’s Covenant Loyalty: He risks everything to protect David.

• David’s Growing Danger: Saul’s jealousy escalates into multiple murder attempts.

• Integrity Over Inheritance: Jonathan chooses obedience to God’s will over personal gain.

Friendship rooted in faith can become a lifeline in the storm. Like Jonathan, we’re called to be friends who choose what’s right over what’s comfortable—and to trust God with what we might lose in the process.

1. Am I celebrating others, even when their success challenges my own hopes?

2. Where do I need to choose faithfulness over fear in my relationships?

3. What’s one area where I need to release control and trust God’s plan?

Thanks so much for joining me today on No Dusty Bibles! Remember—God isn’t asking you to be perfect. He’s inviting you to choose Him, to choose life, one faithful step at a time.

Until next time, stay in the Word and trust in His promises. We’ll be back tomorrow as Hannah walks us through 1 Samuel 21–22, and we explore how God meets us even in the cave. See you soon!
