101 | [Series] Moses: Called but Not Confident - Lessons from the Bible’s Most Reluctant Leaders - Part 1


Listen Later

We’re kicking off our Lessons from the Bible’s Most Reluctant Leaders series with Moses—a man who had every excuse in the book, but whom God still used mightily.

"Moses’ leadership journey starts in Exodus 3-4, when God calls him through the burning bush. But instead of jumping at the opportunity, Moses immediately starts making excuses."

  • Excuse #1: "Who am I?" (Exodus 3:11)
  • Moses: "Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?"
  • Excuse #2: "What if they don’t believe me?" (Exodus 4:1) Moses feared rejection.
  • Excuse #3: "I’m not a good speaker." (Exodus 4:10) Moses: "I am slow of speech and tongue."
  • Excuse #4: "Please send someone else!" (Exodus 4:13) Moses ran out of excuses and simply begged God to send someone else.
  • Listen as I discuss God's response to Moses and the lessons we can learn from Moses. 

    Here’s how you can take action today:

    1. Identify your excuses – What’s holding you back? Write it down and surrender it to God.
    2. Pray for boldness – Ask God to give you confidence, just like He did for Moses.
    3. Take one step forward – Whether it’s speaking up in a meeting, leading a small group, or starting a new project—just start.
