In this episode, Alex and Noel unpack Psalm 72 and its picture of what a good king should be: just, righteous, protective of the vulnerable, and ultimately dependent on God. They discuss how Christians should think about authority, opposition, abuse of power, and the responsibility to honor leaders without ignoring wrongdoing. The conversation also turns personal as they consider how much influence we each have on the people around us and what it might mean to be experienced “like a spring rain.” Plus, they dig into whether Solomon actually wrote Psalm 72—and entertain a surprisingly plausible Song of Solomon fan theory.Listen to Noel's messageSubscribe to our Messages podcast (Apple Podcasts / Spotify)Visit us online: rivchurch.comFollow us on InstagramSend us feedback: podcast@rivchurch.comGet additional resources for the KINGS series, including the Study Journal, at rivchurch.com/kings—About Riverview ChurchRiverview Church is a multi-venue church based in Lansing, Michigan, where we invite everyone to know and enjoy Jesus as we stumble together in our pursuit to love like Him.
