David and Goliath: Redefining Strength - 1 Samuel 17:1–18:4 | May 15, 2026

Pastor Stephen Mizell and Pastor Jay Rivenbark are joined by Pastor Alyssa Bream for the May 15th edition of One Single Story. Today's discussion centers on David and Goliath — and what it truly means to face overwhelming odds with faith instead of fear. Scripture Focus: 1 Samuel 17:1 - 18:4 — Young David steps forward to face the Philistine giant Goliath while the entire army of Israel stands paralyzed, and what follows in the aftermath of his remarkable victory. In This Episode: Why David's confidence came from a history of faithfulness, built through past battles with a lion and a bear How strength is redefined not as size or resources, but as dependence on God The modern giants we face today — fear, anxiety, depression, and the pressures of comparison and social media Key Quote: "The size of your God determines the size of your courage."
