Trust binds together all the skills needed for giant-slaying.
Today, Dr. Derek Suite explores the nerve center of the David and Goliath story—the quiet confidence that emerges when you've faced lions and bears before confronting your giant.
Remember how David declared, "The Lord who delivered me from the lion and bear will deliver me from this Philistine"? While this shows divine trust, it equally reveals David trusting himself, his judgment, preparation, and instincts.
Despite the doubts surrounding him, David leaned on lived experience and trusted that what was inside him was enough.
When you trust yourself, your brain's prefrontal cortex activates, strengthening decision-making and confidence. But when you override gut instincts, self-doubt creeps in, and your amygdala—the threat detection center—becomes hyperactive. This creates a widening gap between your inner wisdom and outer actions.
The solution isn't searching outside yourself but going within, like David did.
While giants intimidate through their size, strength, and advantages, your personal feedback loop of past victories provides perspective.
Think about what you've already overcome. What worked? What did those successes reveal about your capacity? This isn't ego-driven confidence but a quiet knowing: "I've been here before, I know what I'm doing, and I've got this."
You don't need to be the biggest or strongest to overcome your giants. You need a deeper recall of who you are and what you've already conquered.
David didn't need external validation to know he was ready, and neither do you. The wisdom to overcome has already been planted within you through your experiences. Trust yourself enough to access it.
