Here's part 4 of my talk on the story of Gideon.

We are often critical of Gideon because even though he has a major sign from God (given directly by the Angel of the LORD and everything!) he asks for more signs.

More signs!

And what does God do about that?  How does God respond to this lack of faith?  Find out in this episode.

Part 3 of my talk on the story of Gideon.

Gideon has some reservations and doubt, so he asks for confirmation.  Does this feel relatable? :)

The story of Gideon in the book of Judges is a story that speaks to me every time I read it these days.  Why?

It's so human!

And, it's so God!

In fact, one of the names of God is revealed in this story.  Plus, we also learn about how God graciously speaks to us, understands our weaknesses, and deals with them.

I recorded a bunch of thoughts and it was too much for one video, so here's the first episode.

In this episode I explain how the context of this story has an impact on us today.
