Before Saul ever failed publicly, he compromised privately.
Israel’s first king was chosen not because he was perfect, but because the people wanted a leader they could see—someone who looked the part. And Saul? He had the look. The stature. The charisma. But what he lacked was the one thing that matters most to God: obedience.
This past Sunday, I shared a word about Saul’s rise and fall, and how partial obedience is still disobedience. We unpacked what it means to carry a crown we were never meant to wear, and how choosing surrender over control is the only way to lead, live, and walk in freedom. Whether you’re leading a team, a family, a ministry, or just trying to follow Jesus in a loud and complicated world—this message is for you.
Let it remind you that God isn’t looking for perfect people. He’s looking for surrendered ones.
Onward in obedience,
Chari
