What if the very place you feel weakest is where God wants to call you?

Today on the Shepnaz Podcast, Pastor Zack sits down with Pastor Kevin to kick off our new series, “Lessons from the Legends.” We’re diving into the story of Gideon—a man who went from hiding in fear to being called a “mighty warrior” by God.

In this powerful and relatable conversation, you’ll discover:

• How God calls ordinary people in everyday moments
• Why feeling unqualified might actually be the point
• How God sees who you can become, not just who you are
• What it means to fully surrender and trust His calling

If you’ve ever doubted yourself or wondered if God could use you—this episode is for you.
