The Fall ’26 Witness magazine has dropped! Just the other night, I finished 1 Samuel and found myself thinking about what an amazing friend Jonathan was to David. Jonathan, natural heir to King Saul’s throne, befriended a no-name shepherd boy after his surprising public victory over Goliath. You would think Jonathan would feel threatened and […]
