What happens when God goes silent? Discover why the Lord intentionally delays answers to our prayers, and how the Old Testament stories of King David, Saul, and Abigail reveal the ultimate pattern for overcoming your personal giants. https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/manual/come-follow-me-for-home-and-church-old-testament-2026/25Most people cower in fear when facing life's "Goliaths"—whether physical, emotional, financial, or spiritual. We often try to fight these battles using the world's armor, only to realize it doesn't fit us. This video breaks down how true deliverance comes not through our own strength, but through covenant connection with Jesus Christ.

We explore powerful scriptural insights from 1 Samuel and 2 Samuel:The Davidic Type: How David's life foreshadowed Jesus Christ—from the symbolic numbers hidden in his Hebrew name to his role as Israel’s lonely champion.

The Folly of Nabal & The Grace of Abigail: A deep look into 1 Samuel 25, uncovering a beautiful allegory of the Atonement of Jesus Christ found in all of scripture.

The Silence of Heaven: Why Saul's tragic turn to the Witch of Endor serves as a warning for us to never give up on the Lord's timetable, but to "let God prevail" through the spiritual stretch of unanswered prayers.

If you have ever felt trapped by the habit of comparison, wondered why your prayers seem to hit a brick wall, or needed the strength to put the Savior in the middle of a broken relationship, this episode will completely reframe your approach to discipleship. Stop trying to fight your giants alone, and discover the eternal promises waiting for you inside the temple today.
