Wrestling With Feeling Worthless

Haven't every single one of felt totally worthless at some point in our lives?

Some may feel this way constantly or have for a very long time. It is a pit of despair, a quagmire of quicksand that steals our self worth and the intrinsic value we all have as creatures made in His image.  And most of the time the Accuser is right there, whispering in our head, confirming our worst feelings in attempt to arrest any effort we could have in glorifying God.

Imagine you are a child with a severe stuttering problem.  The ridicule and shaming is cruel and relentless.  And my guest today grew up in that exact situation.

His father was a con artist and pathological liar, so he never heard the truth and was forced to move frequently as his family's welcome was worn out time after time. And with each relocation he had to suffer the humiliation all over again of the other kids making fun of his severe stuttering.

He was convinced that he was unworthy of anything good.  Things like finding a wife or having kids felt out of reach when you basically don’t talk.

But that is not the end of his story, or yours either, if you are feeling worthless these days!

My guest for this episode is Paul Stege, a humble man who is living an example of a life surrendered to God. He’s no celebrity and not famous.  He is a truck driver who has been driving the night shift for UPS between Texas' major cities for over fifteen years now.  But what a servant he has been for the Lord!  He has provided over 1.3 million bibles, FOR FREE, to people who need to be introduced to God's living word.

If there is only one episode you ever listen to of this podcast, let it be this one because of the power of his testimony!
