Is Your Goliath Actually Good News?

The Answer Might Change Everything

What if the giant standing in front of you isn’t there to crush you—but to awaken you?

For forty days in the Valley of Elah, an entire army of trained soldiers was frozen. Not by swords or strategy, but by a voice. The voice of a nine-foot champion named Goliath, declaring their weakness, their smallness, their defeat. And they believed him.

But a shepherd boy showed up with a lunchbox and a sling. And he asked a question the terrified soldiers had forgotten: “How big is my God?”

What he saw—and what we often miss—is this: Your Goliath would not be in front of you if there wasn’t a David inside of you.

That thing you’re facing—that debt, that addiction, that anxiety, that failure, that impossible situation—isn’t random. It has shown up on purpose. Not to be the end of your story, but to activate the hero within it.

In the latest episode of Lion Roars from Zion, “Why Your Giant Is Actually Good News,” we unpack the explosive pattern hidden in 1 Samuel 17—a pattern that repeats with Gideon, Esther, and the early church.

You’ll learn:

• Why David couldn’t wear Saul’s armor—and why fighting your giant with someone else’s anointing will never work.

• How to pick up your five smooth stones—the unique tools of faith, obedience, and testimony God has already placed in your hand.

• A powerful, faith-filled prayer activation to silence the taunts of your giant and call forth the David inside you—the warrior, the intercessor, the bold witness.

This isn’t just a Sunday school story. This is a divine strategy for the battle you’re in right now. Your giant isn’t a sign of defeat. It’s a sign of your destiny.

A Prayer Before You Listen

Father, I bring the giant in front of me to You right now—the one whose voice has intimidated me, whose shadow has felt overwhelming. Open my spiritual ears to hear this truth: This obstacle is not stronger than Your purpose for me. As I listen, awaken the David inside my spirit. Stir up the faith that sees giants not as threats, but as invitations for Your glory to show up. I receive Your Word not as theory, but as a battle cry for my life today. In the conquering name of Jesus, Amen.

Your giant’s days are numbered. Your victory is calling.

Tune in now and start walking differently into your valley.
