Today as men, we must have the spirit of a David—ready to shout and to recognize, “The battle is the Lord’s!” When the giant, Goliath, was hurling insults at the intimidated army of ancient Israel, David RAN into the battle. Today also, we must move with strength, with speed, and with power, and go into the battle—NOW. What are the giants that come against your life? Financial pressure? Temptations that too easily take you down? Despair that hits you in the heart? Relationship hurts that never heal? IT’S TIME TO KILL THE GIANTS. Back when Goliath was having his way with the armies...

For forty days, every morning and every afternoon, a drunk giant screamed curses at a king and his army. Not one man in that band of warriors was willing to tell him to shut up.Forty days! Parading in front of a battle-hardened army of thousands of men…and the entire army was intimidated.

A friend texted last Saturday, the day after the intensely powerful Lions Roar 2017 Summit concluded, "What a fantastic week! Are you in recovery mode?"I knew what he meant—it was a monumental undertaking. But at 5:30am the day after launching huge momentum from the success of the Lions Roar Summit, I woke up fired up!  Something so deeply significant has transpired that it will be played out for months, or perhaps years to come—and we are filled with the confident assurance that God's hand is upon us!To open the Summit strong, we spoke the scripture from Zechariah 4:6 over our gathering, "Not by might, nor...
