			<description><![CDATA[<p><strong>The Giant Has a Name | Facing Your Struggles Honestly With God</strong></p><p>How do you face the giants in your life when you would rather avoid them? In First Samuel 17, Scripture does not describe David’s enemy vaguely. The giant is identified by name: Goliath. Sometimes the first step toward facing what feels overwhelming is honestly naming what you are fighting.</p><p>We often soften the language around the hardest struggles of our lives.</p><p>Addiction becomes a “demon.” Depression or other mental health struggles are ignored in hopes they will eventually disappear. A broken marriage becomes “complicated.” Financial collapse becomes a “rough patch.” Deep grief becomes a “season.”</p><p>But avoiding the name does not make the giant smaller.</p><p>In this episode of&nbsp;<em>Digging Another Well</em>, we continue our David and Goliath Bible study through First Samuel 17 and explore why honesty matters when Christians face addiction, depression, grief, broken relationships, financial struggles, fear, illness, and other overwhelming circumstances.</p><p><em>“And there went out a champion out of the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span.” — First Samuel 17:4 KJV</em></p><p>The Bible is remarkably specific about Goliath. He has a name. His hometown is identified. His height is measured. His armor and weapons are described in detail.</p><p>Scripture brings the giant completely into the light.</p><p>There is an important spiritual lesson in that specificity. The struggles we refuse to name can become even larger in our imagination. When something remains hidden behind vague language, avoidance, or denial, it becomes difficult to confront honestly.</p><p>David did not defeat Goliath by pretending Goliath wasn't there.</p><p>He saw the giant clearly.</p><p>Naming your giant does not mean giving it greater authority over your life. It means becoming honest about what you are actually facing so that you can bring it honestly before God.</p><p>You cannot pray specifically about something you refuse to acknowledge. You cannot seek appropriate help for something you insist isn't there. And you cannot develop a path forward against something you will not identify.</p><p>The first step in facing a giant may not be courage.</p><p>It may be honesty.</p><p>What is standing in front of you today?</p><p>Addiction?

			<itunes:summary><![CDATA[<p><strong>The Giant Has a Name | Facing Your Struggles Honestly With God</strong></p><p>How do you face the giants in your life when you would rather avoid them? In First Samuel 17, Scripture does not describe David’s enemy vaguely. The giant is identified by name: Goliath. Sometimes the first step toward facing what feels overwhelming is honestly naming what you are fighting.</p><p>We often soften the language around the hardest struggles of our lives.</p><p>Addiction becomes a “demon.” Depression or other mental health struggles are ignored in hopes they will eventually disappear. A broken marriage becomes “complicated.” Financial collapse becomes a “rough patch.” Deep grief becomes a “season.”</p><p>But avoiding the name does not make the giant smaller.</p><p>In this episode of&nbsp;<em>Digging Another Well</em>, we continue our David and Goliath Bible study through First Samuel 17 and explore why honesty matters when Christians face addiction, depression, grief, broken relationships, financial struggles, fear, illness, and other overwhelming circumstances.</p><p><em>“And there went out a champion out of the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span.” — First Samuel 17:4 KJV</em></p><p>The Bible is remarkably specific about Goliath. He has a name. His hometown is identified. His height is measured. His armor and weapons are described in detail.</p><p>Scripture brings the giant completely into the light.</p><p>There is an important spiritual lesson in that specificity. The struggles we refuse to name can become even larger in our imagination. When something remains hidden behind vague language, avoidance, or denial, it becomes difficult to confront honestly.</p><p>David did not defeat Goliath by pretending Goliath wasn't there.</p><p>He saw the giant clearly.</p><p>Naming your giant does not mean giving it greater authority over your life. It means becoming honest about what you are actually facing so that you can bring it honestly before God.</p><p>You cannot pray specifically about something you refuse to acknowledge. You cannot seek appropriate help for something you insist isn't there. And you cannot develop a path forward against something you will not identify.</p><p>The first step in facing a giant may not be courage.</p><p>It may be honesty.</p><p>What is standing in front of you today?</p><p>Addiction? Depression? A broken relationship? A frightening diagnosis? Financial devastation? Grief that refuses to lift? Fear that continues to control you?</p><p>Whatever it is, bring its real name before God.</p><p>The giant in your life has a name.</p><p>Say it.</p><p>Because you cannot face what you refuse to acknowledge is there.</p><br><p><strong>Primary Scripture:</strong>&nbsp;First Samuel 17:4 KJV</p><br><p><strong>Topics:</strong>&nbsp;David and Goliath Bible study, First Samuel 17, facing your giants, trusting God with your struggles, Christian encouragement for difficult times, addiction and faith, depression and Christian faith, grief and faith, trusting God through illness, relationship struggles, financial struggles, overcoming fear, honesty with God, facing difficult circumstances, Christian devotional, KJV Bible study</p><br><p><em>Digging Another Well</em>&nbsp;is a Christian devotional and Bible study podcast from Another Well Ministries offering biblical encouragement, KJV Scripture teaching, and practical Christian application to help believers grow in their faith and walk with Jesus Christ.</p><br><p>Find more Christian devotionals, Bible studies, Scripture resources, and biblical encouragement from Another Well Ministries at&nbsp;<a href="http://anotherwell.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">anotherwell.org</a>.</p><p>Digging Another Well&nbsp;is a devotional podcast from Another Well Ministries, offering short, Scripture-centered reflections to help you walk faithfully with God in everyday life.

			<description><![CDATA[<p><strong>The Distance Is Gone</strong></p><p><strong>Why the Space Between You and God Is Always Shorter Than It Feels</strong></p><p><em>“Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you.” — James 4:8</em></p><p>There are seasons when God feels far away.</p><p>Maybe prayer has become inconsistent. Maybe the Bible has stayed closed longer than you intended. Maybe disappointment, busyness, failure, or simply the gradual drift of everyday life has created a distance that now feels enormous.</p><p>And when that happens, we can begin believing that finding our way back to God will require some dramatic spiritual journey.</p><p>James gives us a much simpler invitation:</p><p><strong>“Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you.”</strong></p><p>In this episode of <strong>Digging Another Well</strong>, a personal story about a child running toward his father becomes a picture of the extraordinary promise contained in James 4:8.</p><p>God has not retreated because you disappointed Him. He has not moved farther away because you became inconsistent.

			<itunes:summary><![CDATA[<p><strong>The Distance Is Gone</strong></p><p><strong>Why the Space Between You and God Is Always Shorter Than It Feels</strong></p><p><em>“Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you.” — James 4:8</em></p><p>There are seasons when God feels far away.</p><p>Maybe prayer has become inconsistent. Maybe the Bible has stayed closed longer than you intended. Maybe disappointment, busyness, failure, or simply the gradual drift of everyday life has created a distance that now feels enormous.</p><p>And when that happens, we can begin believing that finding our way back to God will require some dramatic spiritual journey.</p><p>James gives us a much simpler invitation:</p><p><strong>“Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you.”</strong></p><p>In this episode of <strong>Digging Another Well</strong>, a personal story about a child running toward his father becomes a picture of the extraordinary promise contained in James 4:8.</p><p>God has not retreated because you disappointed Him. He has not moved farther away because you became inconsistent. Often, the distance we feel develops gradually as we drift from the closeness He continually offers.</p><p>And the way back does not require an elaborate religious performance.</p><p>Take a step toward Him.</p><p>Pray.</p><p>Open the Bible.</p><p>Talk honestly with God.</p><p>Turn toward the One who has been there all along.</p><p>The invitation in James is not complicated, and the promise is not vague.

			<description><![CDATA[<p><strong>Enough! — Why God’s Word Is Already Enough</strong></p><p>We live in a world overflowing with voices promising to give us the answer we have been missing. Another book. Another system. Another method. Another expert. But Scripture makes a radically different claim: <strong>God’s Word is already sufficient to equip us for the life He has called us to live.</strong></p><br><p>In this episode of <em>Digging Another Well</em>, we look at <strong>2 Timothy 3:16–17</strong> and Paul’s declaration that Scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine, reproof, correction, and instruction in righteousness. The result is a believer who is “throughly furnished unto all good works.”</p><p>Not partially equipped. Not pointed toward the next source.

			<itunes:summary><![CDATA[<p><strong>Enough! — Why God’s Word Is Already Enough</strong></p><p>We live in a world overflowing with voices promising to give us the answer we have been missing. Another book. Another system. Another method. Another expert. But Scripture makes a radically different claim: <strong>God’s Word is already sufficient to equip us for the life He has called us to live.</strong></p><br><p>In this episode of <em>Digging Another Well</em>, we look at <strong>2 Timothy 3:16–17</strong> and Paul’s declaration that Scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine, reproof, correction, and instruction in righteousness. The result is a believer who is “throughly furnished unto all good works.”</p><p>Not partially equipped. Not pointed toward the next source.

			<description><![CDATA[<p><br></p><p><strong>Esther’s Banquet — The Power of the Right Moment</strong></p><p><strong>Not Every Open Door Is the Right Door for Right Now</strong></p><br><p>We often pray for open doors.</p><p>But sometimes wisdom means standing in front of an open door and waiting.</p><br><p>Esther had finally done the terrifying thing. She approached the king without being summoned. The golden scepter was extended. Her life was spared. The king offered to grant her request—even up to half his kingdom.</p><br><p>The opportunity was there.</p><p>And Esther waited.</p><br><p>Instead of immediately revealing Haman’s plot, Esther invited the king and Haman to a banquet. Then, when the king asked again what she wanted, she invited them to another banquet.</p><br><p>Why wait when the door was already open?</p><br><p>Because Esther understood something we often learn the hard way: wisdom is not only knowing <strong>what</strong> to do. It is knowing <strong>when</strong> to do it.</p><p>In this episode of <em>Digging Another Well</em>, we look at the remarkable patience Esther demonstrates in chapters 5–7 and what her story teaches us about divine timing, discernment, leadership, patience, and waiting on God.</p><br><p>Sometimes the opportunity in front of us is real—but the moment is not complete yet.</p><br><p>Between Esther’s first banquet and her second, the king has a sleepless night. Mordecai is remembered. Haman is humiliated. The entire atmosphere shifts.</p><p>Had Esther spoken earlier, the request would have been the same. But the moment would have been different.</p><br><p>This devotional challenges us to distinguish between an available moment and an appointed one. Not every open door must be entered immediately. Not every conversation must happen today. Not every opportunity requires instant action.</p><br><p>There is wisdom in waiting for the right moment.</p><br><p><strong>Primary Scripture:</strong> Esther 7:3</p><br><p><strong>Key themes:</strong> Esther, God’s timing, waiting on God, discernment, patience, Christian leadership, biblical wisdom, decision-making, open doors, trusting God’s timing</p><br><p>Digging Another Well is a Christian devotional podcast offering Bible study, biblical encouragement, and practical teaching to help believers grow in their walk with Jesus Christ through Scripture.</p><br><p>Find more devotionals, Bible studies, Christian encouragement, and resources from Another Well Ministries at <a href="http://anotherwell.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">anotherwell.org</a>.</p><p>Digging Another Well&nbsp;is a devotional podcast from Another Well Ministries, offering short, Scripture-centered reflections to help you walk faithfully with God in everyday life.

			<itunes:summary><![CDATA[<p><br></p><p><strong>Esther’s Banquet — The Power of the Right Moment</strong></p><p><strong>Not Every Open Door Is the Right Door for Right Now</strong></p><br><p>We often pray for open doors.</p><p>But sometimes wisdom means standing in front of an open door and waiting.</p><br><p>Esther had finally done the terrifying thing. She approached the king without being summoned. The golden scepter was extended. Her life was spared. The king offered to grant her request—even up to half his kingdom.</p><br><p>The opportunity was there.</p><p>And Esther waited.</p><br><p>Instead of immediately revealing Haman’s plot, Esther invited the king and Haman to a banquet. Then, when the king asked again what she wanted, she invited them to another banquet.</p><br><p>Why wait when the door was already open?</p><br><p>Because Esther understood something we often learn the hard way: wisdom is not only knowing <strong>what</strong> to do. It is knowing <strong>when</strong> to do it.</p><p>In this episode of <em>Digging Another Well</em>, we look at the remarkable patience Esther demonstrates in chapters 5–7 and what her story teaches us about divine timing, discernment, leadership, patience, and waiting on God.</p><br><p>Sometimes the opportunity in front of us is real—but the moment is not complete yet.</p><br><p>Between Esther’s first banquet and her second, the king has a sleepless night. Mordecai is remembered. Haman is humiliated. The entire atmosphere shifts.</p><p>Had Esther spoken earlier, the request would have been the same. But the moment would have been different.</p><br><p>This devotional challenges us to distinguish between an available moment and an appointed one. Not every open door must be entered immediately. Not every conversation must happen today. Not every opportunity requires instant action.</p><br><p>There is wisdom in waiting for the right moment.</p><br><p><strong>Primary Scripture:</strong> Esther 7:3</p><br><p><strong>Key themes:</strong> Esther, God’s timing, waiting on God, discernment, patience, Christian leadership, biblical wisdom, decision-making, open doors, trusting God’s timing</p><br><p>Digging Another Well is a Christian devotional podcast offering Bible study, biblical encouragement, and practical teaching to help believers grow in their walk with Jesus Christ through Scripture.</p><br><p>Find more devotionals, Bible studies, Christian encouragement, and resources from Another Well Ministries at <a href="http://anotherwell.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">anotherwell.org</a>.</p><p>Digging Another Well&nbsp;is a devotional podcast from Another Well Ministries, offering short, Scripture-centered reflections to help you walk faithfully with God in everyday life.

			<description><![CDATA[<p>In this episode, we explore a discipline that feels increasingly rare in today’s world: stillness.</p><br><p>“Be still, and know that I am God.” — Psalm 46:10</p><br><p>We live in a culture that celebrates speed, productivity, and constant activity.

			<description><![CDATA[<p>In this episode, we begin a new devotional series exploring one of the most significant themes throughout Scripture: the altar.</p><br><p>“And Noah builded an altar unto the LORD.” — Genesis 8:20</p><br><p>Throughout the Bible, men and women built altars whenever they experienced a defining encounter with God. These were not merely places of ritual.

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Scripture:</p><p>“And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?” — Luke 6:46</p><br><p>Some things in life become automatic.</p><br><p>Driving. Daily routines. Tasks we’ve done so many times that they require little thought or attention. What once demanded focus eventually becomes second nature.</p><br><p>The same can happen in our spiritual lives.</p><br><p>In this episode of Digging Another Well, we reflect on Jesus’ question in Luke 6:46 and the danger of letting faith drift into routine. It is possible to pray without thinking, read Scripture without reflecting, and participate in spiritual activity while our hearts are only partially engaged.</p><br><p>The habits remain.</p><p>But the attention fades.</p><br><p>This is the subtle danger of mechanical faith.</p><br><p>Jesus is not concerned with activity alone. He is concerned with the condition of the heart. It is possible to say the right things and do the right things while being disconnected where it matters most.</p><br><p>Faith was never meant to run on autopilot.</p><br><p>God invites us into something deeper — a relationship marked by attention, response, and sincerity. Not just repetition, but engagement. Not just routine, but connection.</p><br><p>If your walk with God has begun to feel familiar but distant, this devotional is an invitation to pause. To slow down. To listen. And to engage again.</p><br><p><strong>In This Episode</strong></p><p><br></p><ul><li>How routine can quietly replace relationship</li><li>The meaning behind Jesus’ question in Luke 6:46</li><li>The difference between consistent habits and engaged faith</li><li>Moving from mechanical faith to intentional relationship</li></ul><p><br></p><p><strong>Reflection Questions</strong></p><p><br></p><ul><li>Where has your spiritual life become routine or automatic?</li><li>Are your habits still connected to a living relationship with God?</li><li>What would it look like to slow down and re-engage your heart today?</li></ul><p><br></p><p><strong>Resources</strong></p><br><p>Find additional devotionals and biblical encouragement at:</p><p>https://anotherwell.org</p><br><p>If this episode encouraged you, subscribe to Digging Another Well so you never miss a new devotional.</p><br><p>Until next time — God bless.</p><br><p>Digging Another Well&nbsp;is a devotional podcast from Another Well Ministries, offering short, Scripture-centered reflections to help you walk faithfully with God in everyday life.

What once demanded focus eventually becomes second nature.</p><br><p>The same can happen in our spiritual lives.</p><br><p>In this episode of Digging Another Well, we reflect on Jesus’ question in Luke 6:46 and the danger of letting faith drift into routine. It is possible to pray without thinking, read Scripture without reflecting, and participate in spiritual activity while our hearts are only partially engaged.</p><br><p>The habits remain.</p><p>But the attention fades.</p><br><p>This is the subtle danger of mechanical faith.</p><br><p>Jesus is not concerned with activity alone. He is concerned with the condition of the heart. It is possible to say the right things and do the right things while being disconnected where it matters most.</p><br><p>Faith was never meant to run on autopilot.</p><br><p>God invites us into something deeper — a relationship marked by attention, response, and sincerity. Not just repetition, but engagement. Not just routine, but connection.</p><br><p>If your walk with God has begun to feel familiar but distant, this devotional is an invitation to pause. To slow down. To listen. And to engage again.</p><br><p><strong>In This Episode</strong></p><p><br></p><ul><li>How routine can quietly replace relationship</li><li>The meaning behind Jesus’ question in Luke 6:46</li><li>The difference between consistent habits and engaged faith</li><li>Moving from mechanical faith to intentional relationship</li></ul><p><br></p><p><strong>Reflection Questions</strong></p><p><br></p><ul><li>Where has your spiritual life become routine or automatic?</li><li>Are your habits still connected to a living relationship with God?</li><li>What would it look like to slow down and re-engage your heart today?</li></ul><p><br></p><p><strong>Resources</strong></p><br><p>Find additional devotionals and biblical encouragement at:</p><p>https://anotherwell.org</p><br><p>If this episode encouraged you, subscribe to Digging Another Well so you never miss a new devotional.</p><br><p>Until next time — God bless.</p><br><p>Digging Another Well&nbsp;is a devotional podcast from Another Well Ministries, offering short, Scripture-centered reflections to help you walk faithfully with God in everyday life.

			<description><![CDATA[<p><strong>Scripture:</strong></p><p>“I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.” — Revelation 3:15</p><br><p>Comfort is something we naturally seek.</p><br><p>A comfortable routine. A steady rhythm. A sense of ease in life. And in many ways, comfort is a gift.</p><br><p>But comfort in the wrong place can become dangerous.</p><br><p>In this episode of Digging Another Well, we reflect on Jesus’ words to the church at Laodicea in Revelation 3. They were not openly rebellious. They had not abandoned their faith. They were simply… comfortable. Settled. Going through the motions without urgency or passion.</p><br><p>And Jesus said that was not enough.</p><br><p>Lukewarm faith can be deceptive. It feels safe. It feels stable. But it can quietly dull our awareness and distance our hearts from God.</p><br><p>Like someone unaware of danger because they are at ease, we can drift without noticing. Comfort can replace conviction. Familiarity can replace closeness.</p><br><p>This devotional is not a message of condemnation — it is a call to wake up. God is not looking for perfection, but He is looking for passion.</p><br><p>Even a small, genuine fire is better than a comfortable indifference.</p><br><p><strong>In This Episode</strong></p><p><br></p><ul><li>Why comfort can become spiritually dangerous</li><li>What Jesus meant by “lukewarm” in Revelation 3</li><li>How familiarity can replace genuine closeness with God</li><li>Recognizing the difference between steady faith and settled indifference</li></ul><p><br></p><p><strong>Reflection Questions</strong></p><p><br></p><ul><li>Has your faith become more routine than responsive?</li><li>Where might comfort be dulling your spiritual awareness?</li><li>What would it look like to pursue God with renewed hunger today?</li></ul><p><br></p><p><strong>Resources</strong></p><br><p><br></p><p>Find additional devotionals and biblical encouragement at:</p><p>https://anotherwell.org</p><br><p>If this episode encouraged you, subscribe to Digging Another Well so you never miss a new devotional.</p><br><p>Until next time — God bless.</p><br><p>Digging Another Well&nbsp;is a devotional podcast from Another Well Ministries, offering short, Scripture-centered reflections to help you walk faithfully with God in everyday life.

And in many ways, comfort is a gift.</p><br><p>But comfort in the wrong place can become dangerous.</p><br><p>In this episode of Digging Another Well, we reflect on Jesus’ words to the church at Laodicea in Revelation 3. They were not openly rebellious. They had not abandoned their faith. They were simply… comfortable. Settled. Going through the motions without urgency or passion.</p><br><p>And Jesus said that was not enough.</p><br><p>Lukewarm faith can be deceptive. It feels safe. It feels stable. But it can quietly dull our awareness and distance our hearts from God.</p><br><p>Like someone unaware of danger because they are at ease, we can drift without noticing. Comfort can replace conviction. Familiarity can replace closeness.</p><br><p>This devotional is not a message of condemnation — it is a call to wake up. God is not looking for perfection, but He is looking for passion.</p><br><p>Even a small, genuine fire is better than a comfortable indifference.</p><br><p><strong>In This Episode</strong></p><p><br></p><ul><li>Why comfort can become spiritually dangerous</li><li>What Jesus meant by “lukewarm” in Revelation 3</li><li>How familiarity can replace genuine closeness with God</li><li>Recognizing the difference between steady faith and settled indifference</li></ul><p><br></p><p><strong>Reflection Questions</strong></p><p><br></p><ul><li>Has your faith become more routine than responsive?</li><li>Where might comfort be dulling your spiritual awareness?</li><li>What would it look like to pursue God with renewed hunger today?</li></ul><p><br></p><p><strong>Resources</strong></p><br><p><br></p><p>Find additional devotionals and biblical encouragement at:</p><p>https://anotherwell.org</p><br><p>If this episode encouraged you, subscribe to Digging Another Well so you never miss a new devotional.</p><br><p>Until next time — God bless.</p><br><p>Digging Another Well&nbsp;is a devotional podcast from Another Well Ministries, offering short, Scripture-centered reflections to help you walk faithfully with God in everyday life.

			<description><![CDATA[<p><strong>Scripture:</strong></p><p><em>“So the shipmaster came to him, and said unto him, What meanest thou, O sleeper? arise, call upon thy God, if so be that God will think upon us, that we perish not.”</em>&nbsp;— Jonah 1:6</p><br><p>How could Jonah sleep in the middle of a violent storm?</p><br><p>The ship was being tossed by waves. Sailors were terrified. Cargo was being thrown overboard. Yet Jonah was asleep below deck.</p><br><p>It seems impossible.</p><br><p>And yet spiritually, many of us understand exactly how it happens.</p><br><p>In this episode of&nbsp;<em>Digging Another Well</em>, we reflect on Jonah 1:6 and the powerful question the shipmaster asked:&nbsp;<em>“What meanest thou, O sleeper?”</em>&nbsp;Storms often reveal what we have been ignoring. Conviction. Spiritual drift. Delayed obedience.

			<description><![CDATA[<p><strong>Scripture:</strong></p><p><em>“A man’s heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps.”</em>&nbsp;— Proverbs 16:9</p><br><p>Most of us like control more than we admit.</p><br><p>There’s something reassuring about being in the driver’s seat — setting the direction, managing the risks, anticipating the outcome. Planning isn’t wrong. Responsibility isn’t wrong.
