This week in our summer series Into the Wild, we’re continuing our journey through the wilderness—a place that’s unpredictable, untamed, and often uncomfortable. With honesty and humor, Pastor Ellis Hopson shares a personal (and itchy) wilderness story and dives into the lives of David and Saul to explore how seasons of struggle can shape us.
Both men faced threats, uncertainty, and loss. But while Saul’s misplaced confidence and compromised integrity led to his downfall, David navigated the wilderness with trust in God, patience, and character. Their stories show us that it’s not the wilderness itself that defines us—it’s how we walk through it.
Whether you’re in a season of waiting, loss, or uncertainty, this message will encourage you to place your confidence in God, release unrealistic expectations, and stay rooted in who He’s calling you to be.
