About this episode
Saul looked like the perfect king—tall, handsome, and chosen by God.
But behind the image was a man hiding in the baggage, ruled by insecurity,
and torn between pleasing people and obeying God.
In this message, Pastor CJ Witkoe from Wonder Church explores 1 Samuel 9–15
to reveal how Saul’s false self led to his downfall—and how we can throw off
our own false selves to live in the freedom and love of Jesus.
