Giants and Grasshoppers

In “Giants and Grasshoppers,” Pastor Carl Nichols emphasizes that your perspective can either push you into your promise or trap you in the wilderness. Drawing from the story of the Israelite spies, he outlines four facts about faith: what you see shapes who you become; how you view yourself influences how others see you; real faith stands even when fear is popular; and your mindset can delay your destiny. The Israelites’ fear distorted their vision, identity, and obedience, ultimately costing them the promise God had prepared. While God can lead you to breakthrough, it’s only faith—not fear—that will lead you through it. Your faith must be louder than your fear, or you risk wasting your wilderness instead of walking into your promise.
