    A Chance to Kill the King

    Some leaders are not worthy of our respect.

Let me share the valuable lesson David has to teach us about how and when to honor authority. Transcript: exemplapodcast.com/2024/11/09/a-chance-to-kill-the-king/

  3. The Worst Birthday Ever

    OCT 12

    The Worst Birthday Ever

    My seventh birthday was a disaster. It came during a move for my family, a move that did not go as smoothly as we hoped. But it’s funny how we can have good memories of unpleasant experiences. Reflecting on that miserable birthday makes me profoundly thankful and helps me think about what really matters in a child’s life.
