Facing Your Giants: A Video Guide to Overcoming Challenges by Max Lucado
Max Lucado’s video, Facing Your Giants, offers practical advice for confronting life’s difficulties. Drawing from the story of David and Goliath, Lucado emphasizes that everyone has “giants” to face, whether they are fears, doubts, or challenges.
The Story of David
You know your GOLIATH. You recognize his walk, the THUNDER of his voice. But like David, you can face your giant, even if you aren’t the strongest, the smartest, the best equipped, or the holiest. Lucado begins by recounting the biblical story of David and Goliath from 1 Samuel 17. David, a young shepherd, faced the giant Goliath with only a sling and a few stones. Despite the odds, David defeated Goliath, not by his strength, but by his faith in God.
Trust in God
Lucado highlights how David’s trust in God was the key to his victory. He references Psalm 56:3, where David says, “When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.” This trust is crucial when facing giants in life.
Focus on God, Not the Giant
Lucado encourages viewers to focus on God rather than their problems. He points to 2 Samuel 22:33, where David declares, “It is God who arms me with strength.” By focusing on God, one can find the strength to overcome challenges.
Overcoming Giants Today
In conclusion, Lucado reminds viewers that everyone has giants to face, but with faith in God, these giants can be overcome. He encourages looking to God for guidance and strength, just as David did.
Facing Your Giants is an inspiring message that provides biblical principles for overcoming life’s challenges. By trusting in God, focusing on Him, and drawing strength from His word, anyone can defeat their giants.

wisdom enlightens my soul
This was extremely encouraging and timely for me today. Like a lot of people, facing Giants seems to me my lot in life – that’s normal! Doing it with a positive, faith-filled and Christ-like attitude is the key. Thanks Max! (four years later, it still resonates)
@JCCOUTINO We can see right through you. Who are you to JUDGE Max and his story? He has helped so many people turn to the bible and to God. Only a cult would say that only their way is right.

THANK YOU HOLYSPIRIT
It’s not about how great we are and how we can kill our giants. Jesus is the greater David who has killed the giants of sin and death for our sake. That’s the point of the story! It’s about Jesus, not us! This is man-centered and anti-Biblical!
