Episode 39: Why Wasn’t Solomon the One We Were Waiting For?

RELATED SCRIPTURE

In this episode of Under the Hood, Sam and Will dive deep into the story of King Solomon to explore how he nearly fit the mold of the Messiah. From Genesis to Kings, they trace the biblical narrative and show how Solomon checked every messianic box—until he didn't. Why did Solomon, with all his wisdom, dominion, and divine favor, ultimately fail? And what does that teach us about success, leadership, and God's true intent for a redeemer? Join us for a rich theological reflection that moves through prophecy, symbolism, and the dangers of worldly success. This episode isn't just a history lesson—it’s a mirror for modern ambition and a call to pursue what truly lasts.
