Good Call with Mackenzie Salmon

David was anointed long before he was appointed.

In this solo episode, I reflect on 1 Samuel and early 2 Samuel and what David’s restraint teaches us about respecting God’s timing. From serving Saul after being anointed, to refusing to take the throne by force, David consistently trusted God with promotion, justice, and direction.

I also share what this looks like in my own life right now — building something, facing roadblocks, and ...

Season One wasn’t about going viral — it was about showing up.

In this solo season finale of Good Call, I sit down with you (no guests, no scripts) to reflect on what this first season really meant: the growth I didn’t expect, the lessons I didn’t know I needed, and the “good calls” that shaped everything from the mic to my mindset.
