1 Samuel 22:5

Discover the value, purpose, and healing in having your story heard. In this study, you will explore God's Word and learn about identifying deep wounds, healing by being heard, and applying God's word to your story. This study is part 2 of the Never Alone: Trauma Healing series. While written for the military community, the themes apply to anyone who has experienced intense trials and wants to heal.

You know God has called you to more, yet you feel stuck—trapped by sin, insecurities, and burdens. Culture pushes men into passivity or self-reliance, but God calls us to depend on Christ. David fled to the cave of Adullam at his lowest point (1 Sam. 22:1), but that cave wasn’t his end—it was God’s training ground. He emerged as a servant leader, builder of others, and a mighty worshipper. Brother, your cave isn’t your identity—Jesus is. It’s time to step out, not by your strength, but by God’s grace. Let’s walk through this together.

These personal meditations will help you focus your heart on Jesus and find encouragement to express His love to others this Christmas season.

This reading plan will introduce you to the book of Samuel, including why and under what circumstances the book was written and how it applies to Christians today.
