About this listen

In this episode of I Slay Giants, Joshua unpacks the significant role relationships play in shaping your spiritual journey, daily habits, and long-term purpose. Through biblical insight and personal reflection, he reveals how the people closest to you can either strengthen your walk with God or quietly pull you off the path He designed.

Joshua opens up about past seasons where the wrong relationships led to distraction, wasted resources, and spiritual drift. He contrasts these experiences with moments when God placed the right voices in his life — people who challenged him, prayed for him, and helped him grow into the man God called him to be.

This episode dives into three core biblical pillars every giant slayer needs: iron-sharpening accountability, supportive partnership during adversity, and loyal relationships that endure storms. You’ll be encouraged to evaluate your current circle, grow in discernment, and intentionally build relationships that support your calling.

Joshua closes with a weekly challenge to audit your inner circle and intentionally define who you need beside you in this next season — plus a prayer for divine connections, spiritual alignment, and relational clarity.
