The title of this episode is inspired by one of my favourite worship songs, "Find Me in the River" by Delirious?
In this episode we encounter two men, King David and the Gerasene Demoniac. Both of these men embody the locale in which they find themselves: at the River Jordan. At the river, God finds them and heals them.
May this same loving God find you at your river.
