<p class="p1">SHOW NOTES:</p> <p class="p2"> </p> <p class="p3">In Podcast Episode 206, “Men After God’s Own Heart Do Cry,” Kim discusses the contrast between the American misconception that real men don’t cry to the Biblical examples of the weeping of Godly men. Although we focus primarily on King David and Christ, there are many examples of tears from Godly men.</p> <p class="p4"> </p> <p class="p3">Our focal passage for this episode is 2 Samuel 15:30. The additional focal verse is 1 Samuel 13:14.</p> <p class="p4"> </p> <p class="p3">30 David walked up the road to the Mount of Olives, weeping as he went. His head was covered and his feet were bare as a sign of mourning. And the people who were with him covered their heads and wept as they climbed the hill. </p> <p class="p4"> </p> <p class="p3">14 But now your kingdom must end, for the Lord has sought out a man after his own heart. The Lord has already appointed him to be the leader of his people, because you have not kept the Lord’s command.” (1 Samuel 13:14)</p> <p class="p4"><a href='https://www.facebook.com/groups/encouragingothersinlovingjesus/'></a></p> <p class="p5">WEEKLY ASSIGNMENT FEATURE:</p> <p class="p6"> </p> <p class="p3">Ask the Lord to show you His perspective of Godly men and tears. </p> <p class="p4"> </p> <p class="p1">SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: </p> <p class="p4"> </p> <p class="p3">“Encouraging Others in Loving Jesus” YouTube Channel continues to grow.
