David

2025

From the songs of his mother’s heart to the whispers of a faithful God, David’s story begins in quiet devotion. When the giant Goliath rises to terrorize a nation, a young shepherd armed with only a sling, a few stones, and unshakable faith steps forward. Pursued by power and driven by purpose, his journey tests the limits of loyalty, love, and courage—culminating in a battle not just for a crown, but for the soul of a kingdom.

Why this age? Biblical battles, threats, pursuit, and a giant confrontation may unsettle younger children, while the animated musical format and PG rating make it broadly family-oriented. This is guidance, not a safety guarantee; reading level and family context may differ.
