David: Portrait of a Champion (Part 5)

Champions Pray in the Dark

In Champions Pray in the Dark, Dr. Michael Youssef reveals how God uses the cave to shape His champions. Fleeing from Saul, David finds himself in the cave of Adullam—alone, humiliated, and stripped of every earthly comfort. But instead of despair, David prays. He writes Psalms of repentance, worship, and surrender, turning his darkest moments into sacred songs. Dr. Youssef reminds us that caves are God’s classrooms—where pride is shattered and faith is refined. Will you turn your trials into worship? Or will you waste them in bitterness and blame? The Kingdom of God advances through those who cry out to Christ in their caves. It is in surrender, not self-reliance, that true champions are formed.
