Summary

In this episode, Christine Caine unpacks powerful lessons from the story of David and Goliath, revealing what it takes to trust God in the face of fear, opposition, and doubt. David didn’t rely on his own strength—he placed his full confidence in God, even when others questioned or dismissed him. Through this story, Christine reminds us that God is always preparing us for the things He has prepared for us, and the condition of our hearts matters more than our gifts or talents. If you’ve ever felt unseen, misunderstood, or afraid to step out in faith, this episode will encourage you to trust God more than the obstacles before you and the opinions around you.
