What if the story of David and Goliath is far deeper than most Christians realize? In this episode of Nephilim Death Squad, hosts David Lee Corbo (The Raven) and TopLobsta sit down with William Blesch to explore the biblical, theological, and archaeological significance of Goliath, the Nephilim, and the ancient world.
