Ep. 125: More Than Conquerors: The Giant of Fear vs. The Lord of Heaven’s Armies

In Podcast Episode 125, “More Than Conquerors: The Giant of Fear vs. The Lord of Heaven’s Armies,” Kim discusses the giant of fear we all encounter throughout our life span. Yet, as we do face fears during every season of life, the specific fears change, as well as the intensity of the fears.

 

The primary scripture text for this episode is 1 Samuel 17:1-58 with the key verse 11:

 

11 When Saul and the Israelites heard this, they were terrified and deeply shaken.

 

Additional Verses:

 

Matthew 14:22-36 Jesus Walks on Water

 

• 29 “Yes, come,” Jesus said. So Peter went over the side of the boat and walked on the water toward Jesus. 30 But when he saw the strong wind and the waves, he was terrified and began to sink. “Save me, Lord!” he shouted.
