When you go from nothing to something there are outlets the world encourages you to tap into. This episode challenges you to evaluate the outlets you're choosing and figure out the why. Looking at Saul who went from being a man of low status to becoming a powerful king, we share common reasons today for choosing bad outlets. King Saul's life serves as a cautionary lesson on how harmful outlets ruin us and the importance of choosing them carefully.

Think of a time when someone wronged you or mistreated you. When you've come from nothing to something, this hits especially hard because you don't want to go backward. Is the satisfaction that vengeance brings enough to keep you being "something"? Often, the reasons we want vengeance are rooted in the wrong mindset. David and King Saul give us a snapshot into the dos and don'ts of seeking vengeance. The sweetest vengeance is highlighted, and it's something we all need to focus on in this episode.

Have you ever thought that you were being overlooked? There may be some truth to this, but if you think that God doesn't see you, then you're mistaken. God has handpicked you for some awesome things. However, sometimes we get in the way of ourselves. In this episode, we look at the contrasting responses to God not overlooking two men who were once overlooked by others.
