“You Don’t Have to Climb the Ladder—There Isn’t One”
(The Lie of Spiritual Hierarchy and the Cost of Waiting to Be ‘Qualified’)
Have you ever felt like you weren’t “spiritual enough” to be used by God?
Like you had to wait your turn… earn your spot… or keep quiet until someone else decided you were “ready”?
That’s not humility. That’s hierarchy. And it’s not the gospel.
This conversation is all about breaking down the lie of spiritual ladders—the invisible systems that tell you God’s Spirit needs a gatekeeper. I’ll share some of my own experiences of being told I was “leading people astray,” and I’ll walk through what Scripture actually says about who can hear, speak, and lead in the Kingdom.
You’ll hear:
✔️ The phrases legalism uses to keep you waiting
✔️ Why fear of “getting it wrong” isn’t the same as biblical humility
✔️ What the Bible actually says about who God calls and qualifies
✔️ How to stop waiting for permission and step forward in freedom
The Kingdom doesn’t need your ladder. It needs your obedience.
