This week on The Ben Peterson Show, Ben unpacks one of the most powerful stories in Scripture through a lens most people miss.

David didn’t defeat Goliath because he was fearless. He defeated him because God had already been forming him long before the battle.

But what if the real battle isn’t the habit, addiction, anger, anxiety, or distraction?

What if those are only the spears…

And the real giant is the lie underneath.

In this episode, Ben shares personal reflections on pressure, leadership, spiritual warfare, and why healing only begins when we stop hiding and bring our struggles into the light.

This conversation is about more than overcoming obstacles.
It’s about exposing the lies, stepping out of isolation, and becoming the person God is forging you to be.

WATCH UNTIL THE END - this story could change how you see pain, purpose and the power of redemption. Engage Your Destiny (EYD) is a 501(c)3 on a mission to help combat the deadly epidemic of military suicide with faith.
