Stop Waiting to Feel Ready

Nobody feels ready when God calls. Not Moses at the burning bush. Not Gideon hiding in a winepress. Not Jeremiah, not Isaiah, not Joshua standing at the edge of the promised land with the weight of a nation on his shoulders. And probably not you — right now, with the assignment God has placed on your life that you keep telling yourself you'll pursue once you feel more prepared.In this episode, Pastor Joseph delivers a word for everyone who has been negotiating with God instead of obeying Him. Drawing from Exodus 3, Pastor Joseph unpacks the moment Moses stood before a burning bush — a bush supernaturally on fire but not consumed — and his first response was not worship. It was not obedience. It was a question: Who am I?It sounds like humility. It presents itself as humility. But Pastor Joseph teaches that more often than not, that question is fear wearing humility's clothing. Because true humility says, "I cannot do this in my own strength, but God can do it through me." Fear says, "I cannot do this — and therefore it cannot be done."Here is what changes everything: God never answered Moses's question. He didn't build his resume or validate his qualifications. He said four words — "I will be with you" — and made the entire question of Moses's readiness irrelevant. Because when God is with you, your adequacy is not the variable that determines the outcome. His is.If you have been waiting to feel ready, this episode is your burning bush moment. The call has been calling. The question is still on the table.Will you go?
