Father Wounds Drive Hidden Problems
- Father wounds (rejection, disapproval, abandonment) underlie many long-term problems like addiction and violence.
- Paul Daugherty observes these wounds often go unhealed and drive destructive behavior later in life.
The 'Woods' Symbolize Hidden Spiritual Danger
- The woods in David's battle symbolize discouragement, bitterness, and secret sin that pull men off God's battlefield.
- Paul Daugherty connects wandering into the woods with leaving God's calling and suffering greater loss than open conflict.
Stay On The Battlefield
- Stay on the battlefield God called you to and keep the spiritual armor on; exhaustion is not permission to wander off.
- Paul Daugherty urges men to resist temptation to remove their helmet and shield when tired or pressured.
