Slaying Your Giants: God is Bigger than Your Fear, Rejection, Shame, & Discouragement

In this episode of Live Bold Movement, host Tierney Shirrell shares an inspiring message about slaying the giants in our lives—not the literal kind, but the challenges and fears that hold us back. Inspired by a powerful quote from a devotional, Tierney shifts the perspective: Your giant isn’t too big to defeat; it’s too big to miss! Drawing from the story of David and Goliath, she unpacks how we can face our struggles with faith, trust, and practical steps rooted in Scripture. Get ready to identify your giants and conquer them with God’s truth!
