This week as we continue our conversation around our sermon series “Excuses,” we shifted from saying to God, "you can't" to "I can't." Why do we struggle to believe that God can use us despite our shortcomings? Just like Moses being called to lead the Israelites out of Egypt, we often believe that God has made a mistake and that there is someone else better equipped for the job. Listen in as Pastor Chip Parker and Pastor AJ Stevens discuss these challenges and how if God call us to it, He will see us through it.
