Killing Your Inner Coward

Can fear and cowardice grip even the bravest among us? You bet it can, and today we explore just that. We unravel Gideon’s transformation from a reluctant warrior to a leader who faced overwhelming odds, drawing powerful parallels to our own lives.

Gideon’s story isn’t just a tale from the past; it’s a mirror reflecting our own battles with inadequacy and fear. Whether facing the daunting task of sharing our faith, starting a new venture, or leading our families spiritually, feelings of insufficiency often creep in. This message dives into the importance of community and small groups as sources of support. We emphasize relying on Jesus for strength and victory, reminding ourselves that God equips us with the necessary spiritual weapons to overcome life’s challenges. Just as Gideon discovered, our spiritual armory includes the helmet of salvation and the breastplate of righteousness, empowering us to triumph over fears.

Turning our gaze from intimidating “mountains” to the powerful “mountain mover,” we dive into how past traumas and setbacks often justify our reluctance to face life's battles. Gideon’s unconventional victory with just 300 men armed with trumpets and jars serves as a testament to the power of obedience and faith. 

Join us as we confront our inner cowardice and embrace the path to true courage.
