Trusting God with the Glorious and the Ordinary: Michael Iskander & Christian Dearman
Whether in the spotlight of portraying King David or navigating a career-threatening injury on the baseball field, how do we trust God through every season?
This week, we’ll hear from actor Michael Iskander (@michaelIskandermusic) who currently portrays King David on the House of David series. Michael opens up about his unconventional route to acting, the prayer and fasting that became his ritual as he waited to hear whether or not he would be cast in his dream role, and what portraying David has taught him about trusting God in every moment and in every decision.

Christian shares how his journey toward the big leagues was nearly cut short by a career-threatening injury and how that difficult season became a turning point in his faith.
