Join best-selling author and Bible teacher Nicki Koziarz for a special teaching episode on Gideon. In this episode, we dive into the story of Gideon in Judges 6:11-24.

This is a passage where God meets Gideon in his fear and uncertainty, calling him to a purpose far greater than he ever imagined. Nicki shares how Gideon can teach us to find and remove the pieces in our peace, to experience "shalom" total complete peace.

Some things we cover:

Setting the Scene (v.11-12): Gideon's initial state: hiding in a winepress, threshing wheat, fearful of the Midianites. God’s greeting: "The Lord is with you, mighty warrior!" — a powerful reminder of God's vision for Gideon that surpasses his own self-image. Gideon’s Doubts and God’s Patience (v.13-16): Gideon questions God’s presence and actions, reflecting his insecurity and frustration. God's response is both reassuring and affirming, telling Gideon to "go in the strength you have." A discussion on how God often calls us despite our doubts and inabilities, equipping us for what He's called us to. The Sign of the Sacrifice (v.17-24): Gideon asks for a sign to confirm his calling, and God honors this by miraculously consuming Gideon’s offering. The significance of the offering, and how it represents Gideon’s need to lay down his doubts. Reflection on how God sometimes provides reassurance in unexpected ways, meeting us where we are. 

Learning to trust God's vision of who we are rather than our own limited perspectives. Someimes He calls us to seasons that are seem to make no sense but they aren't senless. We can have encouragement to step out in faith, even when we feel inadequate, because God promises His presence. Embracing God’s patience and kindness when we struggle with doubt and fear. 

“The Lord is with you, mighty warrior.” - Judges 6:12 

In what areas of your life do you struggle to see yourself as God sees you?

How can you start "going in the strength you have," as God told Gideon?

What might it look like for you to lay down your doubts and trust God’s presence in the midst of the battles of your life? 

Something to think about: Gideon's story shows us that God doesn't always call the equipped, but He equips those He calls. As we reflect on this passage, keep your soul open to God’s encouragement and step into the roles He's calling us to, knowing that His "shalom" peace is with us as we build an altar to alter our lives.
