When Israel saw giants, Joshua and Caleb saw God.
In this episode, we explore what it means to face overwhelming challenges with a “different spirit.” Today’s giants might not be warriors—they might be fear, uncertainty, anxiety, or the unknown. But the lesson remains the same: God calls us to trust Him even when the crowd chooses fear.
If you’re standing in front of something that feels bigger than you, this message is for you.
Let faith rise above fear.
