The King We "Desire"

Apr 23, 2026

Michael returns to the podcast to discuss writing songs for a class, his royal lineage, and and famous kings in pop culture. Speaking of kings, on this week's episode there is a lot of talk about one king in particular: Saul.

Hunter and Michael talk about Israel's need for a king, what a king ultimately means, and how sometimes our "desires" are well-meaning but end up causing harm.
