Finding himself with a new name and a renewed purpose, Chuck struggles to put his past behind him and look forward to God’s plan for his future. But his reputation as Goliath continues to haunt him wherever he goes. Will he be the monster, Goliath forever or can God forgive and heal him of his painful past?
