Henry O Arnold Takes us on a Deep Dive into the world of King David

Posted on by nancycarm

Henry Arnold is back on the Isle, flashing his Misfit Nexus Pass and catching up with us from his last visit (which you can catch by clicking here!) and giving us the down low on King David, who just happens to be the subject of his latest book, the final installment in his Song of Prophets and Kings series, called “Lion of Judah”.

First of all, just in case you ever wondered about KD’s psychological profile (cause who hasn’t?) we’ve got you covered with our Stupid Game:  Myers Briggs Edition. We are nothing if not quasi-socially-scientific around here.
(btw, you can take the lightning quick assessment for yourself here:

Aside from that, Henry’s got all manner of deep insights about the life of King David, and the lessons we can takeaway, and maybe (if we dare) even take away for our own lives.
Plus, he’s just so much fun to talk to; we know, we took a survey, and Five out of Five Misfits are in full agreement!

John Eldredge and Experiencing Jesus for Real: The RE-RELEASE! – Isle of Misfits podcast

We're going back about a year and a half into the Misfit Vault of Greatness (a term I just now made up) to a great conversation back in March 2025 with John Eldredge about his latest book, "Experience Jesus. Really". If you didn't catch it, you'll love it. Cause hey, it's John Eldredge. Really. (see what I did there?) And if you did, well then you are very welcome for the chance to give it another listen. Enjoy! **************************************************************************************************** ORIGINAL SHOWNOTES I so wanted to title this episode "JOHN ELDREDGE TAKES US ON A MAGICAL MYSTICAL MISFIT TOUR…" But it was a little long. Not to mention way too alliterative. And I also didn't want to scare you off. Because the truth is, being a Mystic is not about being "magical". And it's also not about "wild woowoo, ecstatic visions or something" (that's a direct quote by JE, btw). So what IS it about then? Well, let's start with his (and by his I mean NY Times best-selling author and president of Wild at Heart Ministry's) newly released MUST READ book "Experience Jesus. Really." Cause the title kind of says everything. It's about the reality that experiencing the healing, joyful, playful, life-giving, restorative. wonder-filled presence of the living God (aka Jesus, just to keep us all on the same page) is available to ANYONE who wants it. Not just the few and the proud. But you. Me. Anyone really, who's willing to seek it, and make space for it, in our ordinary, every day lives. Cause who wouldn't want that? And then we talk about the how. How does one actually make space for these types of encounters in one's ordinary, every day life? That, my Misfit Friends, is what this podcast is about! Plus, we play a fantastic round of NAME THAT MYSTIC… Because what other Stupid Game would do for such a time as this?
