Until All Thrive with James D. Gailliard

Slingshot Saints (1 Samuel 17) // Raw and Real: Life Lessons from a Messy Life

In this powerful Homecoming Sunday message, Pastor James Gailliard continues the Real and Raw series with a timely word from 1 Samuel 17, titled "Slingshot Saints."

Through the story of David and Goliath, Pastor Gailliard unpacks five critical truths for every believer facing giants in their life:

  • Remember Your Wins (vs. 37) – God has already brought you through. Don’t forget it.
  • Refuse What’s Not For You (vs. 38-39) – You don’t need someone else’s armor to fight your battle.
  • Retain What Works (vs. 40) – Stick with what God has proven in your life.
  • Represent God’s Reputation (vs. 45-47) – Your fight is about more than just you.
  • Run Toward Your Giant (vs. 48) – It’s time to stop hiding and start running toward what God has called you to conquer.

This episode will challenge you to face your battles with courage, authenticity, and faith—just like a Slingshot Saint.
