In this episode of Durand on Demand, Dave unpacks the most powerful force in the world: decision. Every part of life flows from the choices we make — but it’s not just the primary decisions (to take a job, get married, or start something) that matter. It’s the secondary decisions and recommitments that determine whether we thrive or fail.
Recorded live, Dave illustrates this through the story of King David — a leader who chose comfort over adventure and fell into folly — and shows how the same dynamic plays out in our own lives. The path forward, he explains, lies in the virtues: prudence, justice, fortitude, and temperance.
This talk also explores the universal desires of every human being — goodness, beauty, truth, and unity — and why denying truth or lowering standards leads to distortion and decline. At its core, this is a call to live a life of adventure, virtue, and reality.
