The film, which tells the story of David from the Old Testament, comes after the Young David miniseries that was distributed by Angel Studios in 2023 and 2024.
It was directed by Phil Cunningham and Brent Dawes, the team behind South African animation company Sunrise Animation Studios, and released in the United States on December 19, 2025.
Starring Grammy-nominated contemporary Christian artist Phil Wickham as the voice of David, the film is a musical retelling of the young man who faced the giant and stepped into his own destiny.
In addition to Wickham, other voice actors include Brandon Engman, Lauren Daigle, Asim Chaudhry, Brent Mukai, Mick Wingert, Mark Whitten, and Ashley Boettcher.
