Do you ever feel unqualified, overlooked, or "not the one" God would choose?
Then this episode will speak directly to you—and to every student you serve.

In this powerful episode of Youth Worker on Fire, Doug Edwards shares why God consistently chooses the least impressive, least equipped, and least likely people to accomplish His greatest work. Drawing from Draw the Circle by Mark Batterson, the story of Gideon, and the extraordinary life of George Müller, Doug reveals how God delights in using ordinary, insecure, underestimated people to confound the wise.

Through Scripture, real ministry stories, and honest reflection, Doug unpacks:

✅ Why God calls people no one else would choose
✅ How Gideon's insecurity became the doorway to his calling
✅ Why asking God for confirmation (a "fleece") must always align with Scripture
✅ George Müller's incredible faith—30,000 answered prayers
✅ The key to kingdom productivity: work hard, but trust God more
✅ Why students need to know that being "the least" positions them for God's greatest impact
✅ Doug's own journey from "not qualified" to 35 years of student ministry influence

This episode is a must-listen for anyone investing in the next generation—youth pastors, ministry volunteers, student leaders, teachers, coaches, and parents—and for every student who feels unseen, insecure, or unqualified.

If God has called you (or your students), He will provide everything needed.
When God gives a vision, He always makes provision.
