You’ve heard the story. But what if we told you the stone may not have killed Goliath?

In this episode of Rooted & Reason, Mikey and Ryan take a deep dive into one of the most famous Bible stories—David and Goliath—and unpack a surprising mystery: Was Goliath really killed by the stone, or did something else finish the job?

We compare multiple Bible translations, explore an unusual theory involving Goliath’s “greaves,” and discuss what it all means for our faith today. Whether you're a lifelong Christian, a Bible nerd, or just curious about Scripture, this episode challenges what you thought you knew about a Sunday school classic.
