In this episode, I’m opening up about something we all wrestle with—fear. I dive into the story of Gideon and how much his journey reminds me of my own. From hiding in the winepress to stepping out in faith, Gideon’s transformation shows us what’s possible when we say yes to God, even when we feel unqualified.

I’ll also share some personal moments—like how I started this very podcast—despite feeling completely unequipped. God doesn’t wait for us to feel ready. He calls us, clothes us with His Spirit, and asks for our obedience. That’s where the real transformation begins.

In This Episode, I Talk About:

• What Gideon’s story teaches us about fear, faith, and obedience
• Why God often calls us while we’re still feeling unqualified
• How fear disguises itself in ways we may not recognize
• My personal testimony of stepping out to start this podcast
• The power of being clothed in the Spirit and walking in God's authority
• How to shift your perspective from circumstance to spiritual truth
