Daniel and his friends are carried away from Jerusalem into Babylon—a culture determined to change their names, their education, their diet, and even their worship. But Daniel has already “made up his mind.” From the king’s table to Nebuchadnezzar’s mysterious dream, from a ninety-foot golden statue to a blazing furnace, watch four young men discover what it means to remain faithful to God in a world that wants them to bow. And along the way, one powerful king is going to learn a lesson he won’t soon forget: Heaven rules.

How can the wisest man in the world make such foolish choices? What happens when a king ignores the very instructions God gave him? And how does Israel go from the glory of Solomon’s Temple to a divided kingdom—and eventually to captivity in Babylon?
In this episode of From Adam to Jesus, we follow Solomon from extraordinary wisdom and the building of the Temple to the choices that turn his heart away from God. Then we watch the kingdom split under Rehoboam and Jeroboam, meet young King Josiah, and discover how losing sight of God’s Word leads Judah toward judgment.
Along the way, we’ll see why wisdom isn’t enough if we don’t obey what we know—and why even Israel’s best kings point us toward the perfect King they really needed.
And by the end, Babylon is coming...and so is Daniel.

David finally has the throne—but becoming king doesn't mean the waiting, testing, or trouble is over.
Why does David choose Jerusalem as his capital? Why does Uzzah die simply for touching the Ark? What does God mean when He promises to build David a “house”? And how does the shepherd who defeated Goliath become the king who falls so terribly with Bathsheba?
We'll follow David from the Ark entering Jerusalem to the Davidic Covenant, Mephibosheth at the king's table, Nathan's unforgettable confrontation, David's repentance, Absalom's rebellion, and finally Solomon's anointing as the next king. Along the way, we'll uncover some remarkable connections to the Garden of Eden, Passover, the Mount of Olives—and ultimately, Jesus, the Son of David.
Because David's story ends...
but God's promise doesn't.

What does a forgotten shepherd boy have in common with a giant, a jealous king, and a group of distressed and discontented men? And why did David refuse to take the throne when he had more than one opportunity to do it?
In this episode of From Adam to Jesus, we follow David from the sheep fields of Bethlehem to the battlefield with Goliath and into the wilderness as he runs for his life from Saul. Along the way, we’ll uncover some fascinating details—the five smooth stones, the corner of Saul’s robe, David’s friendship with Jonathan, and the heart that set David apart.
And through it all, we’ll see glimpses of the greater Son of David still to come—the King whose victory becomes ours.
Because as always, the details matter... and they’re pointing us to Jesus.

What does a Moabite widow, a field in Bethlehem, and an ancient kinsman-redeemer have to do with Jesus?
In this episode, we follow Ruth and Naomi from loss and emptiness to an unexpected harvest of redemption. Along the way, we'll uncover the meaning of a goel, explore some unusual marriage and redemption customs, and discover why the details of this little four-chapter book matter far more than we might realize.
Because Ruth isn't simply a beautiful love story. It's the story of God quietly preserving a family, preparing a king, and continuing the line that would eventually lead to Jesus.
The details matter. And they all point to Him.
