👋 Hey Friends!

Today, we’re zooming in on a famous Bible story with a surprising twist—David and Goliath… but not just the big battle. We’re focusing on the five smooth stones David picked before he faced the giant.

1 Samuel 17:40 –

This is a perfect conversation starter in the car or around the table:
