Summary
In Judges 6–7, God chooses Gideon—a fearful man hiding in a winepress—to demonstrate that He uses the humble to accomplish His purposes. By reducing Gideon’s army from thousands to just 300, God makes it unmistakably clear that victory belongs to Him alone. Through Gideon’s obedience and faith, we see that God conquers not by strength, but through trust in His power and presence.

| 0:42.2 | I was a religion major at Baylor and then went to Truitt Seminary, |
