Slaying Giants: Faith, Family & Finances for Kingdom Living

Welcome to the very first episode of I Slay Giants — the podcast where faith meets action and biblical wisdom fuels both family and financial freedom. Hosted by Joshua, a believer, husband, parent, and kingdom entrepreneur, this show is all about equipping you to conquer the giants of fear, debt, distraction, and doubt.

In this episode, Joshua shares the anchor scripture of David and Goliath (1 Samuel 17:45) to remind us that while our giants may seem overwhelming, our God is greater. He introduces the three pillars of the Giant Slayer Life:

1. Faith that moves you forward – stepping out in belief, even when you don’t see the full picture.
2. Family that stands with you – building strong relationships that uplift and sustain you.
3. Finances that fund the mission – becoming a good steward so you can give, invest, and build freely.

Joshua also opens up about his own struggles with fear, financial hardship, and self-doubt — and how God’s provision shifted his perspective. The episode closes with a powerful prayer and a challenge: identify one giant in your faith, family, and finances, then invite the Holy Spirit to guide you in taking your first small step toward victory.

Whether you’re in a season of struggle or preparing for growth, this episode will encourage you to stop running from your giants and start running toward them — fully trusting that God has already secured the victory.
