343 | When God Calls the Unlikely

Have you ever thought God calls the super-special and not you?

It’s easy to believe we’re too ordinary or too flawed to be used in a meaningful way. But Psalm 23:5b reminds us that God’s anointing is not about status, it’s about sufficiency. When He calls us, He equips us with His presence and fills us so fully that His goodness overflows through our lives to bless others.

 

Here’s what you’ll hear in this week’s episode:

• What the Hebrew word dāshēn reveals God’s anointing is about richness, strength, and superabundance that overflows to others
• How translations like The Message (“You revive my drooping head”) highlight God’s care for those who feel unseen or unqualified
• Insights from Tony Evans, Charles Spurgeon, and others about living from God’s abundance rather than striving in comparison
• Angie’s personal story  about the “nametag” we resist wearing when we doubt our calling
• The lie we’re tempted to believe: “Who do you think you are?” and the truth from 2 Corinthians 3:5 that our competence comes from God
