Giant Killers

Feb 25–26, 2008 - comments: 4

Are you facing giants in your life? Do problems, addictions or fears intimidate you and cause you to daily walk in defeat? Today’s guest points us to the powerful stones that can slay our giants!

Our special guest is Dennis Jernigan, popular songwriter, recording artist and worship leader. He joins us today to talk about his book, Giant Killers: Crushing Strongholds, Securing Freedom in your Life. I have sung Dennis’ worship songs, “You Are My All in All” and “As the Deer Thirsts for the Water” as I have worshipped over the years, so it is a pleasure and an honor to meet the man behind the music.

I believe that Dennis’ example of victory in slaying the giants in life will be an encouragement and inspiration to many in our listening audience who have found themselves facing their own giants. He shows us the stones to defeat our giants and encourages all of us to seek a deep relationship with Jesus Christ that will enable us to experience the same victory over the giants in our lives.

Those who are in the homosexual lifestyle have a place my heart (my only child lives homosexually) & I have read Dennis’ books, and have been blessed by his music. Most of all, I am grateful for his testimony.  I suspect it is hard to be so open about his past but it gives hope to those of us who long for our children to come out of the lifstyle.

Even when it may be hard to stand up and tell your story, Dennis, please do not stop.  Keep the light on for us.  MomBert

Thank you so very much for the message of hope not only for homosexuals but for all of us who have Giants that need defeating.  Your love for the Lord is so contagious and I hope you continue to share this good news.

Dennis, Thank you so much for your wonderful message of healing love.  You are my favorite musician/songwriter and now you have written a book!  My husband introduced me to you by playing a cassette of yours entitled “Break My Heart Oh God”.  I listen to it often when I am commuting to/from work (15 miles each way) and I sing along ... I feel the love of Jesus when I sing your songs!  Thank you so much for your courage to speak out on the Giants of your life so others can be healed!  I look forward to reading your book.  Jesus Bless You and your family!
