Episode 3604: David and Goliath Revisited: The Rise, Fall, and Faith of Israel’s Greatest King

What does it truly mean to be “a man after God’s own heart”?

In David: Man After God’s Own Heart, Louis McCall reimagines the life of Israel’s most famous king through the reflective voice of an aging David. From shepherd boy to giant-slayer… from hunted fugitive to empire-building king… from worshiper to flawed father — this powerful narrative explores the faith, failures, victories, and heartbreak that shaped one of the Bible’s most compelling figures.

David’s journey includes:

• His anointing by the prophet Samuel
• The defeat of Goliath
• Thirteen years fleeing King Saul
• The deep bond with Jonathan
• Civil war and the uniting of Israel
• Bringing the Ark of the Covenant to Jerusalem
• Family betrayal and rebellion
• Preparing Solomon to inherit the throne

Beyond the biblical drama, author Louis McCall brings a lifetime of global experience to the story. A former U.S. diplomat with a 36-year career in the State Department — serving in over 60 countries — McCall has lived his faith in both academia and international diplomacy. Now, as an author, he shares a deeply personal and spiritually rich portrayal of David’s life and legacy.

This conversation explores leadership, faith under pressure, moral failure, redemption, and what it means to finish well.
