About this episode

The episode discusses the biblical conflict between Goliath and David, highlighting themes of spiritual confidence and victory through Christ.

This passage sets out (1) the conflict between Goliath, the physical giant, and David, the spiritual giant, and (2) the contrast between David's confidence and Saul's fear. This narrative is full of practical relevance for our own lives as we face constant battles with our enemies - the world, the flesh, and the devil. For followers of Christ, we have the assurance that our victory in battle has been won by Christ at the cross.
