“Your feelings are real, but they’re not reliable.” From Exodus 3, we’re reminded that God calls ordinary people into extraordinary purpose. Even when insecurity, fear, and impostor syndrome try to speak louder than His voice. Just like Moses, we often make excuses: Who am I? I’m not enough. I don’t know enough. What if I fail? I can’t do this. But God isn’t looking for perfection He’s looking for surrender. He doesn’t need our confidence, our eloquence, or our qualifications. He wants our obedience. Sometimes the very thing standing between us and God’s calling is what we refuse to lay down. When God says “take off your shoes,” He’s asking us to remove whatever separates us from Him: sin, fear, pride, insecurity, or control. God doesn’t just send us, He goes with us. His presence leads. His name empowers. His promises sustain. His power makes the impossible possible. You are called. You are chosen. You are sent. Not because you’re enough, but because He is. 🤍 Each week, Paradigm sermons are posted on YouTube, Spotify, Amazon Music, and Pocket Casts! 📱 https://www.bible.com/events/49566453 Paradigm is a weekly gathering of Kansas City college and 20s-30s young adults who desire to see Jesus made known throughout the city!
