Episode 177: Sibling Rivalries and Reversals, Part Six--A Real Game of Thrones

On Crazy Faith Talk, we have always tried to be honest and real in our conversations, whether it's about our own struggles, quirks, and stories, or with the stories and issues we explore.  So as we continue our series looking at biblical brothers and sisters and how their family stories are often difficult and messy, we need to have some honest conversation about the man remembered as Israel's greatest king, David.  His own abuse of power and position to forcibly take advantage of Bathsheba, and then his not-so-virtuous attempts to cover up his tracks, show real flaws in this biblical hero, and then the tensions between his children boil over when at least one of his sons uses his position to do the same to another victim, repeating the pattern.  As you can imagine, the content of this episode is going to be a little more geared for older ears than most of our conversations, so you may want to make your own decisions about listening to the conversation with young ears in the room (or the car) at the same time, or about choosing if and when to listen.  But for those who do join us, we hope you'll find this conversation honest, real, and helpful as we look at the messes our family situations can hold.
