Why do so many Christian men struggle with feeling like they're not enough?

In this episode of The Valiant Forge Podcast, we're continuing the Broken Men, Faithful God series by looking at the life of Gideon.

Before Gideon ever led Israel to victory, he saw himself as the weakest man from the weakest family. But God saw something completely different.

If you've ever felt unqualified, inexperienced, or like everyone else is more equipped than you, Gideon's story reminds us that confidence isn't found in ourselves. It's found in trusting the God who calls us.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• Why Gideon's greatest battle wasn't against the Midianites

• The difference between humility and insecurity

• Why God reduced Gideon's army to only 300 men

• How God builds confidence through faith, not self-belief

• A personal story about learning to stop hiding behind false humility

Confidence isn't believing in yourself. It's believing God is who He says He is.
