God loves to take flawed and scandalous characters to accomplish amazing achievements for his glory. Pastor J.D. tells us the shocking story of Gideon, an insecure, unqualified underdog who God transformed into one of Israel’s greatest leaders. 

Have you ever felt like the underdog? The Black sheep? Thankfully, when God wants to accomplish something great, he often chooses the most unlikely characters to lead the cause. Pastor J.D. provides convincing evidence as we look at the life of Gideon.

C.S. Lewis once said, “Courage is one of the least talked about Christian virtues, but courage is essential to all the others.” Pastor J.D. illustrates how God can transform our fear into courage in order to grow us in character and ultimately accomplish his plan. 

When God wants us to step forward and lead a campaign, we often get knots in our stomach. Insecurity, nervousness and fear are all natural responses to this call to leadership. Pastor J.D. provides a helpful lesson on what it looks like to step to the front as we hear the story of Gideon.

Pastor J.D. tells an Old Testament story that illustrates how God calls every man and woman to become actively engaged whether you’re a leader or a follower.

When God inspires a woman to step forward and give leadership in ministry, how can the church help her become all God intended?

Today Pastor J.D. invites us to follow along as we trace the footsteps of an Old Testament character. His story helps us understand God’s compassion and love, even when he chooses to discipline us.

Today, we’re venturing into the book of Judges where God exposes the Israelites for their lack of courage. Through their example, we’ll discover how to overcome our fears and choose faith instead.

As flawed human beings, sometimes we get complacent about following God. Our failures defeat us. And before long, we begin to compromise and let things slide. Today on Summit Life, Pastor J.D. explains how we can find power and freedom in following Christ.
