It's time to defy the lies and defeat your giants

What has God chosen you to do? You may know exactly what He has created and called you to accomplish or you may be at the very beginning of that discovery. Wherever you are, this much is true: you are not behind. You are not forgotten. And your Goliath doesn't stand a chance.

In Goliath Never Wins, bestselling author and Samuel Rodriguez goes deep into the life of David to reveal a truth that will change how you face every battle ahead. God chose a shepherd boy to prove that the Goliaths in our lives--those seemingly insurmountable challenges we all face--never win. And He wants to do the same with you.

Examining both David's greatest victories and most honest failures, Pastor Sam draws on David's five stones to equip you with five foundations for your own giant-slaying journey:

● Identity--knowing who God says you are, and refusing to let doubters, critics, or past failures write a different story

● Intimacy--deepening your relationship with God so that His voice is louder than the giant's

● Integrity--building the character that sustains victory long after the battle is won

● Influence--stepping into the impact God designed you to have on your family, your community, and your generation

● Innovation--unleashing the creativity and resurrection power God placed inside you to do what others said couldn't be done

Together, these five foundations will empower you to silence every lie, win the personal battles no one else sees, live as God's chosen, and defeat the giants of your generation. You are anointed with power for a purpose. It's time to remove the limits and labels others have placed on you, embrace the One who is invincible, believe the impossible, and accomplish the incredible.

Your Goliath doesn't stand a chance. It's time to watch God do the impossible through you.
