The episode begins with Anthony Blackman greeting listeners and promoting the podcast. He introduces the topic 'How to Tell the Time' and starts with a prayer. Blackman references Ecclesiastes chapter 3, verse 1, reading the passage about seasons and purposes under heaven. He recites the poetic list from Ecclesiastes 3:2-8, including times for birth, death, planting, healing, weeping, laughing, war, and peace. The host emphasizes 'a time for every purpose under heaven' and questions how to tell the time. He points to King David as setting the standard, describing David as a man after God's own heart who always inquired of God. Blackman cites 1 Samuel 23:1-5, where David asks God whether to attack the Philistines at Kelah, receives an answer, and inquires again when his men express fear. The host explains that David's repeated inquiries show the importance of seeking God's guidance for timing. He connects this back to Ecclesiastes, noting different seasons like tearing, sowing, killing, and healing. Blackman states that God knows all, so it's crucial to ask Him 'What time is it?' He concludes that inquiring of God and awaiting an answer is the indicator of time, ending with a blessing. The episode is a solo monologue focused on spiritual teaching without guests or debate.
