EP. 39 Why Wasn’t Solomon the One We Were Waiting For?

In this unique episode of Under the Hood, Sam and Will dive deep into the story of King Solomon—the man who, by every biblical clue, seemed destined to be the Messiah. He had it all: wisdom, peace, dominion, unmatched wealth, and a kingdom that looked like Eden restored. From the outside, Solomon checks every messianic box... until he doesn’t.

What went wrong? Why does the Bible build him up as the perfect king, only to show us his downfall? And what can we learn from Solomon’s story about the world's definition of success versus God’s?

Join Sam and Will as they explore the rise and fall of Solomon and discover how his life points to a better King—Jesus—the one who came not to be served, but to serve.
