In this first message of our series on courage, we revisit the very familiar story of David and Goliath—not just as a tale of underdog triumph, but as a mirror for our own identity. Once a nation that saw itself as small and scrappy, America now often stands in the world as the giant. What does it mean to live courageously when we are no longer the outsider, but the one with power, privilege, and influence? We’ll explore how David’s courage wasn’t born in the valley with Goliath, but in the fields with the sheep—through small, faithful actions. As individuals and as a nation, how are we being shaped by the ordinary moments so that we might respond justly and bravely when decisive moments come?
