Podcasts about facing your giants

On today's episode, I sit down with young author Caroline Shankle for a powerful and honest conversation about navigating the challenging "mean girl" years of high school and how those struggles prepared her for facing bigger giants in life. At just 22 years old, Caroline has poured her heart into her new 100-day devotional, "The Lion and the Bear: A Guide for Facing Your Giants," offering encouragement from her own journey of faith..This episode is a must-watch for any teenager, parent, or anyone who has ever felt overlooked, unseen, or battled with bullies. Let's go to the Story House!

Caroline Shankle is an author, speaker, and student at Texas A&M University pursuing a Master's degree in Agriculture. Her debut devotional, The Lion and the Bearl launches tomorrow (October 14th)! Written for teen girls, this 100-day guide helps readers face their giants with courage, faith, and perspective. Caroline shares the story behind the book's powerful message—how her dad would remind her, during friendship fallouts or heartbreak, that David fought lions and bears before he ever faced Goliath. Every hardship prepares you for what's next, and Caroline's words are an inspiring reminder that nothing we go through is wasted. It's an encouraging and heartfelt conversation about faith, purpose, and learning to see your current battles as the training ground for future victories.

"Facing Giants" by Dr. Bobby Allen, serves as an inspirational spiritual guide, drawing parallels between the biblical story of David and Goliath and contemporary life struggles. It emphasizes that "giants" represent modern challenges like fear, doubt, and financial hardship, asserting that these difficulties are real, but God's power is greater. The text highlights that facing these "giants" tests one's faith rather than physical strength, encouraging readers to confront them in the name of God rather than alone. Ultimately, the author posits that overcoming these personal "giants" through faith will inspire others, reinforcing the belief that with God, victory is assured, concluding with practical steps and a prayer for readers to apply these principles.

1 Samuel 27:1-7, 1 Samuel 30:1-8

1 Samuel 24:1-13

1 Samuel: 17:1-11

No one in Israel would face Goliath, yet David had the faith and courage to face the giant. Fear can impact our lives and keep us paralyzed. In this message, we explore three ways to defeat Giants in your life.

Dave Willis

1 Samuel 17:4-11 How do you see your giants? As an insurmountable obstacle or an opportunity for God to show His power? “In any situation, what you ARE determines what you see, what you SEE determines what you DO” Hadden Robinson There are two ways to view giants: 1. A limited view that brings fear. 1 Samuel 17:24-25 ‘defy' means ‘to taunt, ridicule, humiliate' Satan want you to cower so he can mock you! When we live by sight, we are defeated before the battle starts. 2. An unlimited view that brings courage. 1 Samuel 17:26 Any giant that come our way is not just a threat to us, but a defiance and insult to our Living God and His abilities. Four things David did to defeat Goliath: 1. He ignored doubts expressed by those around him. 1 Samuel 17:33 2. He remembered his ‘proof' stories. 1 Samuel 17:34-37 3. He disregarded the solutions of man in favor of God. 1 Samuel 17:38-40 4. He acted boldly in the face of Goliath. 1 Samule 17:43-47 Remember: Giants do not fall until you load your slingshot! +++++++ You can find our service times on our website: https://www.anctally.com/ You can find sermon highlights on Twitter here: https://x.com/allnationstally

Sermon by Pastor Ryan Beavers

You can't defeat your giants if you aren't willing to face them.

As we near the conclusion of our series on the great stories of the Bible, we reflect on childhood Sunday school lessons and how their profound messages continue to resonate with us as adults. Today's sermon focuses on "Facing Your Giants." Drawing from personal experiences and the biblical account of David and Goliath, we explore how faith can help us confront and overcome the daunting challenges in our lives. From childhood fears to the more complex giants of adulthood—such as cultural pressures, personal failures, and relational struggles—this message provides insights into identifying and tackling these obstacles through unwavering faith. Join us as we delve into 1 Samuel 17 and learn from David's courage and reliance on God. Discover how you can replace fear with faith, use wisdom in choosing your battles, and ultimately find victory through the power of God's strength. May this sermon inspire you to face your giants with confidence and faith. For a copy of today's sermon, other sermons, and the sermon outline, please visit our church's website at www.mvcnaz.org. It is our prayer that you find a church home that recognizes the authority of the Bible and supports your spiritual journey. With Pastor Mike Curry. 1 “Facing Your Giants” 1 Samuel 17:1-58 Introduction Main Point: We all encounter “giants” in our lives—obstacles, fears, and seemingly insurmountable challenges. HOW CAN WE FACE OUR GIANTS WITH FAITH? 1. Identify Your Giants (vs. 4-7) • Goliath was intimidating • Our Modern Giants o fear of failure, addiction, relational struggles, financial burdens, etc. • Action: Identify the giants you're currently facing. 2. Follow David's Approach: He Chose Faith Over Fear (vs. 26, 34-37) • David's Confidence: God would deliver him from Goliath. • David didn't rely on his own strength but on God's. • Action: Replace fear with faith. o Philippians 4:6-7 3. Choose Your Battle: Use Wisdom (vs. 45-47) • David's Purpose: defending God's honor. • Discern your battles. • Action: Fight for God's glory, not personal gain. o Colossians 3:17 Conclusion • Face your giants with courage, knowing that God is your ultimate strength. o Psalm 46:1

Sometimes God uses the most common people in the most uncommon ways. Today's guest was just such a person and used in just such a way by God. Today's program starts with great intentions of sharing some very funny fishing stories and quickly gets sidetracked into the history and God workings in a most amazing way. Our guest looks very familiar to many and once you hear the program, you'll understand why. Over and over again you will hear, “God is doing something here,” and He was. This is one of our favorite programs and the radio portion doesn't have a lot of what we would characterize as outdoor activity, but the story of what God did in a small town is well worth the listen. Don't miss the podcast to get the rest of the story!

As he continues his series, Heart of a Champion, on the life of David, Pastor Jack Graham examines the core convictions and values of great leaders such as David, who killed the giant Goliath but was overlooked by his own family.

Scripture 1 Samuel 17: 41-47

Episode #260 Are you prepared to face the Goliaths in your life with the faith of David? On this episode, Ryan brings five key insights and a bonus takeaway from the account of David and Goliath that you can apply to your modern-day battles. Ryan discusses everything from the significance of David's late entry into the battle, to the importance of what was already in his hand (and even the role of righteous indignation). Ryan draws profound correlations between this David's battle and the challenges we face today. Learn how fear can serve as a measure of your closeness to the Lord, and why standing up for what's right, even when it's unpopular, is a testament to your unwavering conviction. Discover the truth that if God has allowed a Goliath in your life, He has also placed a David within you. Let's rise in faith, stand firm in our convictions, and face our Goliaths head-on.1 Samuel 17:26 - For who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?”Watch this episode on YouTubeMORE FROM RYAN:Get your FREE DOWNLOAD 21 Days to a Spirit-Led Life to learn how the Holy Spirit can be your personal guide through today's cultural chaosSubscribe to Cutting Edge Faith on YouTubeConnect with Ryan on Instagram or LinkedInSubmit a question or topic for the podcast at ryanshoward.com/contactGet Ryan's eCourse & Coaching Programs
