We long for stability. Jodi invites you to join her as she shares Goliath's side of the story, offering fresh insight into becoming an overcomer with your faith.

*Sometimes pennies in your path come in the form of a fresh perspective.

Scriptures used in this episode:

James 1:5-8, Jeremiah 29:11, Psalms 37:23, Ephesians 3:20

"Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen" (Hebrews 11:1, ESV). "Now faith means putting our full confidence in the things we hope for, it means being certain of things we cannot see" (Phillips); "Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see" (NIV); "Faith shows the reality of what we hope for; it is the evidence of things we cannot see" (NLT).

Looking at several different translations we gain clarity on what faith is.
