The Giant


By Jackie Overstreet September 26, 2025

Why most giants collapse the moment you stop agreeing with them

Giants are only terrifying from a distance. Up close, most of them are just cardboard cutouts — big, loud, hollow.


That’s the trick of the enemy. He banks on you never testing the weight. Never pushing back. Never realizing the “giant” you’ve been dreading is only made of paper.


We’ve been taught to armor up, sharpen our swords, brace for war. if it’s scary, it must be strong. No. Fear inflates shadows. It doesn’t add substance.


The moment you poke the illusion — with truth, with Christ, with a simple no — it buckles. That assignment you thought you couldn’t refuse. That expectation you thought you had to meet. That label you thought defined you. Paper. All of it.


The real danger isn’t the giant. It’s the agreement. If you accept the story it tells, you’ll live as though it’s real. But if you remember that Jesus Christ already disarmed every power at the cross, the paper can’t hold.


Focus Point: Most giants don’t need slaying. They just need someone willing to touch them.


Share this with someone still convinced their paper giant is made of stone.
