In this episode of The Everyday Voice, Rufin K. Mayala brings the story of Gideon to life — not as a distant Bible character, but as a man hiding behind fear, insecurity, and a belief that he wasn’t enough.

Meet Gideon: a man quietly crushing wheat behind a winepress, trying not to be seen. Israel is under attack. The Midianites have taken everything. And the last thing Gideon feels like is a warrior.

But then God steps into his hiding place and speaks the words Gideon never believed applied to him:

“The Lord is with you, mighty warrior.”

This episode explores:
- How God calls you by your identity, not your insecurity
- Why self-doubt doesn’t disqualify you from purpose
- How Gideon went from hiding to leading 300 men into victory
- Why God sometimes shrinks your resources so you learn to trust Him more

Rufin retells Gideon’s journey with cinematic detail — the fear, the hesitation, the questions, and the transformation. Because Gideon’s story isn’t just about a battle long ago… it’s about the warrior that’s still hiding inside many of us today.

“God doesn’t wait until you’re confident to call you — He calls you, then builds your confidence.”

If you’re struggling with doubt, identity, or feeling “not enough,” this episode will speak straight to your heart.
