In this episode of Trauma to Testimony, we dive deep into 1 Samuel 17 to uncover the true battle behind the story of David and Goliath — a story that speaks directly to the hearts of Christian women navigating trauma, rejection, fear, and spiritual disconnection.

This is not just a story of bravery — it's a picture of radical faith in the face of impossible odds. When you’ve been underestimated, overlooked, or wounded by life’s battles, the world will try to hand you its armor — but healing comes through trusting God’s presence, not performing for protection.

If you’ve ever wondered:

• Why your healing doesn’t look like everyone else’s...
  

• How God can use your story even when you feel weak or unqualified...
  

• Or what it truly means to walk by faith when trauma has left you afraid...
  

...this episode is for you.
