Remember Who You Are: From King David To Simba (The Lion King)

After reflecting on the life of King David — chosen, flawed, and deeply loved — we continue the journey in an unexpected place: The Lion King.

What does a 1994 animated film have to do with Scripture?

More than we think.

In this episode, we explore the spiritual parallels between David and Simba — identity, exile, shame, calling, and the voice of the Father that never stops speaking.

Both David and Simba forget who they are.

Both must confront the lie.

Both must return.

And in both stories, identity was never lost — only forgotten.

This conversation prepares the way for what comes next in our series: John the Baptist and the courage to fully embrace who God says we are.

If you’ve been running… doubting… or living beneath your calling — this episode is a reminder:

You are still the King’s child.
