Ep7: A million to stop a giant angel (2 Sam. 24)

April 11, 2025·14 min·1 clip

King David insists on paying a Jebusite enemy one million dollars in gold for land, declaring 'I will not offer a sacrifice that costs me nothing' to stop a giant angel.

Dr. Shaney Nett uses the Bible story of King David's census and the resulting giant angel to teach children and parents about the serious cost of sin. She explains how David had to pay a million dollars to stop the angel, paralleling this with the concept that Jesus' sacrifice pays humanity's ultimate debt. The episode includes interactive questions and a suggested at-home activity using a jar and 'drops' to visualize sin and forgiveness.
