In 1 Samuel 17, a teenage shepherd did what no soldier in Israel's army would do: step forward to face Goliath. Jeff Trahan explores what made David different, identifying three things this young man understood that the warriors around him had forgotten. David knew his position as one of God's chosen people, recognized that Israel's strength came from God rather than from human ability, and understood that Israel's purpose was to honor God before the watching world. These convictions, rooted in faith, are what sent him into the valley.
