When we come to understand and accept God's unending love and grace, we can draw closer to Him. We can let go of the guilt and condemnation that weighs us down and embrace the relationship with God based on grace and forgiveness. That weighs us down and embrace the relationship with God based on grace and forgiveness, rather than striving to fix ourselves on our own or giving up on the process altogether. We can rely on God's strength and guidance to help us overcome our weaknesses and grow closer to Him. This week, on Connecting the Gap, we continue our series with part seven of our 12-part series on feeling unqualified.
Daniel Moore: 1:27
We'll be back right after this and a word from our sponsor. They say that it is darkest right before the dawn.
chataboutjesus.com: 1:41
So remember, no matter what battle you are facing, what war is raging, the dawn is coming. Prepare for battle, prepare for battle, prepare for victory.

Daniel Moore: 3:06
When it comes to our weaknesses, we tend to oscillate between two extremes we wallow in our weaknesses or we pretend they don't exist. The problem with having a pity party about our weaknesses is that we authorize ourselves to contradict the calling that God has placed on our lives and we, in essence, deputize ourselves to be our own disqualifier. When we wallow in our weaknesses, we give them power over us. We allow them to dictate our worth and potential, instead of recognizing them as areas for growth and improvement. This can lead to a defeatist attitude, limiting our ability to fulfill our purpose or calling. On the other hand, when we try to ignore or downplay our weaknesses, we are not being honest with ourselves. We are not addressing the areas where we need improvement, which can hinder our personal and spiritual growth. Pretending our weaknesses don't exist can also prevent us from getting the help from God that we need, further isolating us from potential growth opportunities. In the end, both extremes prevent us from aligning ourselves with God's plan for our lives. Instead of embracing our weaknesses as opportunities for growth and relying on God's strength to overcome them, we either succumb to self-pity or deny their existence altogether.
Daniel Moore: 4:29
It is important to acknowledge our weaknesses, but not allow them to define us or limit us in fulfilling our purpose, by seeking God's guidance and support, we can overcome our weaknesses and become who he has called us to be. The misconception that a person who truly loves God must strive for perfection can lead to a harmful mindset of self-pressure and self-deception. While positivity and faith are important, it is equally important to acknowledge and admit our weaknesses and imperfections. This honesty is not a sign of doubt or lack of faith, but rather a demonstration of true faith in God. When we admit our weaknesses, we are recognizing that our strength comes from God, not ourselves. It shows that we are secure in God's love and grace and we trust Him to help us grow and overcome our struggles. By being honest about our limitations, we open ourselves up to receiving the support and guidance that God offers. On the other hand, when we deny our need for help and pretend that we have everything under control, we are building on a shaky foundation. This facade of strength can actually become a weakness, as it isolates us from the healing and transformation that can come from admitting our vulnerabilities. By barricading ourselves from the help that we need, we hinder our spiritual growth and distance ourselves from God's grace. In essence, embracing our weaknesses and being honest about our struggles is an act of faith and humility. Being honest about our struggles is an act of faith and humility. It allows us to rely on God's strength and guidance rather than our own efforts to appear perfect. By admitting our imperfections, we invite God to work in us and turn our weaknesses into strengths.
Daniel Moore: 6:19
Years ago, when I was a teenager, my mom and dad put me in guitar lessons. I studied guitar and how to be the next Eddie Van Halen. For about a year and a half I was learning on an acoustic guitar, as my dad didn't really believe in electric. That was devil's music and would summon demons. I was told I wanted to play rock electric guitar, so I got burned out on the acoustic. I wanted to play rock electric guitar, so I got burned out on the acoustic. To top that off, my guitar teacher would use the opportunity during my lessons to let me strum along in the key of G while he worked on his lead guitar chops playing Turkey in the Straw. Needless to say, I pretty much learned little to nothing except how to play about 20 basic chords.
Daniel Moore: 7:05
Years later, I decided to take up guitar lessons again as an adult. However, when I found a teacher to continue to teach me from where I left off as a teenager. He had difficulty trying to figure out where I was on the learning curve, trying to pick up where I left off and continue me from there. It didn't really work out, so I quit again. As I later thought about that whole scenario, that particular guitar teacher's favorite student was probably the one that had never touched a guitar before. If the student didn't know a thing about guitar, he would be easy to teach. Someone like me that had already had a little bit of learning under my belt would be significantly harder to coach. You know, I wonder if God's favorite person to work with is the one who says God, I have no idea what I'm doing here, but if you will show me what you know about me, about my life, about relationships, about my career, about my decisions, I'll do it.
Daniel Moore: 8:09
When we humble ourselves before God and admit that we don't have all the answers, it opens up a channel for divine guidance and support. The willingness to acknowledge our limitations and seek assistance demonstrates a deep trust in God's wisdom and a recognition of our own need for help. Pride can be a barrier to growth and transformation. When we are too proud to admit our weaknesses or ask for help, we limit our ability to receive the strength and guidance that we need to overcome challenges. It takes courage to set aside our ego and surrender to the will of a higher power, but in doing so, we allow ourselves to be guided by a source of infinite knowledge and compassion. It's common to feel inadequate or embarrassed when we struggle with our weaknesses, especially when we feel like we should have everything figured out by now. But God's love is unconditional and he offers us grace and forgiveness when we falter. Recognizing our need for help and seeking guidance from God and others is a sign of strength, not weakness. By letting go of our pride and opening ourselves up to God's wisdom, we can find clarity, purpose and inner strength. Trusting in God's plan for us, even when we feel lost or uncertain, allows us to move forward with faith and courage. God's favorite kind of person may be the one who humbly asks for help, knowing that in their weakness they will find strength.
Daniel Moore: 9:42
We often project our own feelings of impatience, self-doubt and unworthiness onto God, assuming that he must view us through the same critical lens that we use to judge ourselves. It's easy to believe that because we are imperfect and make mistakes, god must be growing weary of us and our shortcomings. However, this is a misconception that stems from our limited human perspective. In reality, god's love and patience are boundless and unconditional. He sees us through eyes of compassion, understanding and infinite grace. While we may judge ourselves harshly for our faults and failures, god looks at us with a deep and abiding love that transcends our flaws. He knows us intimately, including our strengths and weaknesses, and he accepts us just as we are. God's assessment of us is not based on our performance or our ability to meet certain standards of perfection. He sees the beauty of our souls, our potential and the unique purpose that he has planned for each of us. God's patience is everlasting and His mercy is always available to us, no matter how many times we stumble or fall short. Remembering that God's view of us is filled with love and understanding can bring comfort and reassurance in times of self-doubt and despair. We can find strength and hope in the knowledge that God's patience never runs out and His belief in us is unwavering. Trust in God's unfailing love and kindness towards you and allow yourself to receive His grace and forgiveness without reservation.
Daniel Moore: 11:23
In the book of Judges, chapter 6, we find the story of Gideon, who wasn't exactly living up to the heroic warrior image when God found him. In fact, gideon was hiding in a wine press threshing wheat in secret, trying to avoid the oppressive Midianite invaders. Despite his fear and lack of confidence, god greeted him as a mighty warrior, calling him to rise up and deliver his people from their enemies. When God first approaches Gideon and tells him of his calling, gideon responds sarcastically, questioning how he could possibly be a hero or perform great deeds when he came from a weak and insignificant background. He doubts his own abilities and questions God's plan for him, displaying a lack of faith and self-assurance. However, instead of scolding Gideon for his doubts and disbelief, god reassures him of his presence and promises to be with him in his mission to defeat the Midianites.
Daniel Moore: 12:23
God sees beyond Gideon's insecurities and weaknesses, recognizing his true potential and purpose. He responds to Gideon's skepticism with patience and understanding, offering him encouragement and support rather than condemnation. Through this interaction, we see that God's ways are not our ways and His perspective is far greater than our own. God sees the strength and courage within us, even when we can't see it in ourselves. He calls us to rise above our limitations and fears, trusting in His power to work through us and accomplish great things. This story of Gideon in the Bible serves as a powerful reminder that God chooses ordinary, flawed individuals to carry out his extraordinary purposes. Despite our doubts and fears and shortcomings, god believes in us and equips us with the strength and courage we need to fulfill the unique calling that he has placed on our lives. Courage we need to fulfill the unique calling that he has placed on our lives. Just as God was with Gideon to strike down the Midianites, he promises to be with us in our own battles, guiding and empowering us every step of the way.
Daniel Moore: 13:32
In the following chapters of Judges, we see how God continued to emphasize to Gideon that his weaknesses and limitations were not obstacles to fulfilling his calling. God orchestrated a series of events to demonstrate that the victory in the impending battle would not be won by Gideon's might or strength alone. God instructed Gideon to gather an army to fight against the Midianites, but then proceeded to whittle down the size of the army significantly. But then proceeded to whittle down the size of the army significantly. Initially, gideon had 32,000 men, but God instructed him to send home all of those who were fearful and trembling, reducing the number to 10,000. But even with this smaller army, god was not satisfied and instructed Gideon to further test the men by having them drink from a stream. Only 300 men passed the test and with this small, seemingly ill-equipped army, god assured Gideon that they would be victorious.
Daniel Moore: 14:32
Throughout this process, we see that God was intentional in showing Gideon that the victory would not be dependent on the size or the strength of the army, but on God's power and guidance.
Daniel Moore: 14:43
Despite Gideon's initial doubt and insecurity, god remained patient and steadfast in his belief in Gideon's ability to carry out the mission that he had been called to do.
Daniel Moore: 14:54
At no point do we see God growing frustrated with Gideon or telling him to figure things out on his own. Instead, god provided encouragement, guidance and assurance that he would be with Gideon every step of the way. As Gideon embraced the courage and character of the hero that God called him to be, he began to step into his true identity and fulfill his purpose with confidence and trust in God. The story of Gideon's transformation serves as a powerful reminder that God's strength is made perfect in our weakness. When we allow God to work through us and trust in his guidance and power, we can overcome our doubts and fears to become the person that he has called us to be, just as Gideon's journey of faith and courage led to victory. Our own journey of trusting in God's plan for our lives can lead to transformation and fulfillment of our purpose. When we come back, we're going to continue this week's discussion on feeling unqualified here in episode seven, and we'll have some more backstories of some other people in the Bible.
chataboutjesus.com: 16:14
We'll be back right after this. We'll be back right after this. Deep inside, we wonder if anyone could love us the way we really are. God does, and that's why God let his only son, jesus Christ, die on a cross. Jesus died for us because we can't earn our own forgiveness, so he let his son pay the price for us. That's how much God loves you. The Bible, god's book, says while you are a sinner, a person who failed and missed God's standards, jesus died for you. But that's not all. God also raised Jesus from the dead, and because Jesus lives forever, you can too. If you want unconditional love and a new start in life, call 888-NEED-HIM. If you would like to speak to someone about beginning a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, call 888-NEED-HIM. I'm like everyone, living in a quick fix nation, chasing this American dream.
Daniel Moore: 17:35
Welcome back to Connecting the Gap, and we're about halfway through this week's episode here on Connecting the Gap for this. We're about halfway through this week's episode here on Connecting the Gap for this week, entitled Backstories Matter. In 1 Kings, chapter 3, verse 7 through 9, we see the story of Solomon, who was faced with the daunting task of leading the nation of Israel following the death of his father, king David. In a moment of humility and reverence, god appeared to Solomon in a dream and offered him the opportunity to ask for anything he desired. Instead of asking for wealth, power or long life, solomon humbly requested wisdom and discernment to govern the people of Israel with justice and righteousness. In verse 9, solomon acknowledges his own limitations and describes himself as a little child who does not know how to go out or come in. In response to Solomon's self-aware and humble request, god is pleased with Solomon's heart and his desire for wisdom to lead God's people. God does not reprimand Solomon for his perceived weaknesses or shortcomings, but instead he commends Solomon for his wise request and grants him not only wisdom, but also riches and honor beyond that of any other king. Furthermore, god promises to give Solomon a wise and discerning mind, as well as the things he did not ask for, such as wealth and a long life, as a reward for his humility and desire to govern the people with justice and integrity. God's response to Solomon's request exemplifies his grace and generosity toward those who seek his wisdom and guidance. By acknowledging his own limitations and asking for help to fulfill his role as a leader, solomon displays a deep reliance on God's strength and wisdom, rather than his own abilities. Ultimately, solomon's willingness to seek God's help and guidance to replace his shortcomings not only led to his own personal growth and success, but also to the flourishing of the nation of Israel under his wise and just rule. And God wants to do the same thing with our weaknesses. But in order to receive His help, we have to admit that we need it. We have to take our weaknesses to God in faith, without self-condemnation, despair or shame.
Daniel Moore: 19:57
The idea of winning through weakness may seem counterintuitive in a society that often values strength, self-reliance and independence. In a culture that celebrates success stories or self-made individuals and champions the idea of pulling oneself up by the bootstraps, the notion of embracing our weaknesses can appear foreign or even counterproductive. However, the concept of winning through weakness is a powerful and transformative principle that can lead to growth, resilience and success in our personal and spiritual lives. Embracing our weaknesses does not mean resigning ourselves to failure or complacency. Rather, it involves recognizing and acknowledging our limitations, our vulnerabilities and areas where we may need help or improvement. By accepting and working with our weaknesses, we open up ourselves to the opportunities for growth, learning and personal development.
Daniel Moore: 20:53
As a Christian, the concept of winning through weakness is shown in passages such as 2 Corinthians, 12, 9-10, where the Apostle Paul talks about finding strength and weakness through God's grace. Paul writes but he said to me my grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness. Therefore, I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses so that Christ's power may rest on me. The biblical principle highlights the idea that when we recognize our weaknesses and rely on God's strength and grace to overcome them, we can experience transformation and victory in our lives. By allowing God to work through our weaknesses, we can turn them into opportunities for God's power to be displayed and for His glory to shine through us. Winning Through Weakness challenges the notion of self-sufficiency and self-reliance and emphasizes the importance of humility, vulnerability and dependence on God. It encourages us to shift our focus from our own abilities and achievements, to trusting in God's provision, guidance and strength to lead us through challenges and difficulties. The concept of Winning Through Weakness invites us to adopt an attitude of surrender, trust and faith in God's transformative power in our lives. By embracing our weaknesses and allowing God to work through them, we can experience growth, resilience and victory that surpass our own understanding and abilities. This principle reminds us that true strength and success come not from our own understanding and abilities. This principle reminds us that true strength and success come not from our own efforts alone, but from our reliance on God's grace and power to work in and through us.
Daniel Moore: 22:32
In the book of Genesis, we see the story of Joseph, who faced numerous struggles and challenges throughout his life. Despite being sold into slavery by his brothers, falsely accused and imprisoned in Egypt, joseph maintained his faith in God and remained steadfast in his character. Through each trial and tribulation, joseph demonstrated resilience, wisdom and trust in God's plan for his life. One of the key moments in Joseph's story comes in Genesis 50, where Joseph is reunited with his brothers after years of separation. Instead of seeking revenge or retribution for the harm they had caused him, joseph displays forgiveness, compassion and love towards his brothers. He acknowledges that what they had intended for evil, god had used for good, that what they had intended for evil, god had used for good. Joseph saw that his struggles and sufferings had ultimately brought about God's plan for the preservation and prosperity of his family.
Daniel Moore: 23:33
Joseph's conclusion, with all his struggles, was that God had turned what appeared to be weaknesses and hardships into strength and blessings. Through his experiences, joseph learned valuable lessons in humility, perseverance and trusting in God's faithfulness. He recognized that his sufferings had prepared him for a greater purpose and had shaped him into a man of character and integrity. Joseph's ability to turn his weakness into strength was a testament to his unwavering faith in God and his willingness to surrender to God's plan even in the midst of uncertainty and adversity. His story serves as a powerful example of how God can work through our struggles and transform them into opportunities for growth, redemption and blessing. By trusting in God's sovereignty and relying on His grace, joseph was able to overcome his past hurts and setbacks and emerge as a powerful leader who played a pivotal role in the fulfillment of God's promises to His people. Joseph's journey teaches us that our weaknesses and trials can be transformed into sources of strength and testimony to God's faithfulness and goodness in our lives. Just as Joseph found purpose and redemption in his struggles, we too can find hope and restoration in God's transformative power.
Daniel Moore: 24:53
In 2 Corinthians 4, verse 7, the Apostle Paul writes but we have this treasure in jars of clay. To show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us, this verse reminds us of the concept of weakness and strength coexisting within us, portraying our human limitations and imperfections as jars of clay that holds the valuable treasure of God's power and glory. God's strength is perfected in our weakness when we acknowledge our limitations and vulnerabilities and rely on God's power to perfected in our weakness. When we acknowledge our limitations and vulnerabilities and rely on God's power to work through us, when we recognize that our own strength is insufficient and turn to God for help and guidance, we allow His power to be displayed and magnified in our lives. Our weaknesses serve as a contrast to highlight the surpassing power of God, demonstrating that what truly matters is the presenceing power of God, demonstrating that what truly matters is the presence and work of God within us, not our own abilities or achievements.
Daniel Moore: 25:50
Throughout the Bible, we see examples of how God uses the weaknesses and shortcomings of individuals to demonstrate His power and grace. For instance, revisiting the story of Gideon and Judges, god chose a timid and insecure man to lead the Israelites to victory, showing that it was God's strength, not Gideon's might, that secured the triumph. Similarly, in the story of Moses, god used his speech impediment as a platform to display his power in performing miracles and delivering the Israelites from Egypt. Performing miracles and delivering the Israelites from Egypt God often works through our weaknesses to showcase His strength and mercy, reminding us that our value and significance come from Him, not from our own abilities or accomplishments. By allowing our weaknesses to contrast with our strengths, god reminds us that what is truly valuable lies within us the presence of God and His transformative work in our lives. Our weaknesses serve as a reminder that we are dependent on God's strength and grace to fulfill our purpose and calling. When we embrace our vulnerabilities and imperfections, we make room for God to work in and through us, using our weaknesses to magnify His power and bring glory to His name. God doesn't want the container to distract from the contents, so he uses our weaknesses as a contrast for His strength. It helps us remember that what's really valuable is on the inside, and what's on the inside comes from Him, not us.
Daniel Moore: 27:21
The idea of slowing down to hit a golf ball harder or make contact in baseball rather than trying to crush the ball speaks to the idea of learning to work with our limitations rather than against them. In both sports and in life, there is a balance to be found between pushing ourselves to excel and recognizing and respecting our current abilities and boundaries. When learning a new skill like golf or baseball, beginners are often taught to focus on technique and precision rather than simply trying to hit the ball as hard as possible. By slowing down and making deliberate, controlled movements, players can develop muscle memory, consistency and accuracy in their swings or hits. Similarly, in life, approaching challenges with patience, mindfulness and an appreciation for our limitations can lead to more sustainable growth and progress. Raging against our limits or constantly striving to exceed them can sometimes lead to frustration, burnout and a sense of inadequacy. Instead, by listening to our bodies, minds and emotions, we can gain valuable insights into what we are capable of in the present moment and how we can best approach our goals and aspirations.
Daniel Moore: 28:36
Appreciating our limitations does not mean settling for mediocrity or complacency. Rather, it involves recognizing our constraints as opportunities for growth, learning and figuring ourselves out. By understanding our strengths and weaknesses, we can make informed decisions, set realistic goals and chart a path towards personal and professional development that aligns with our unique abilities and circumstances. Just as in golf and baseball, where technique and strategy play a crucial role in success in life, a balanced approach that combines ambition and humility can lead to greater fulfillment and achievement. By learning to listen to our limits, appreciate them and use them as guides for our growth and decision-making, we can cultivate a sense of self-awareness, resilience and wisdom that empowers us to navigate life's challenges with grace and purpose.
Daniel Moore: 29:31
Our limitations and failures serve as a constant reminder of our need for God. They humble us and remind us that we are not self-sufficient. When we are faced with challenges and obstacles, we are forced to turn to God for help and guidance. This deepens our relationship with Him and strengthens our faith. On the other hand, when things are going well in life, it is easy to become complacent and forget about our need for God. Success can lead us to rely on our own abilities and achievements rather than on God. We may begin to prioritize worldly pursuits such as wealth, power and status, losing sight of what truly matters in life. However, when we recognize our limitations and failures, we are reminded to refocus on our relationship with God. We are reminded that he is the ultimate source of strength and guidance. Rather than chasing after success and worldly pursuits, we should prioritize our relationship with God and let everything else fall into place as a byproduct of that relationship. Our limitations and failures point us back to God and remind us of our need for Him. They help us grow closer to Him and deepen our faith, leading to a more fulfilling and purposeful life.
Daniel Moore: 30:50
When we believe that God is angry or disappointed with us for our mistakes and weaknesses, it creates a barrier in our relationship with Him. This misconception can lead to feelings of guilt, shame and condemnation, causing us to distance ourselves from God rather than drawing closer to Him. This misconception can lead to feelings of guilt, shame and condemnation, causing us to distance ourselves from God rather than drawing closer to Him. If we view God as being disgusted with our sins and weaknesses, we may feel unworthy of His love and forgiveness. This can lead to a mindset of legalism, where we try to earn God's approval through our own efforts and good works. Alternatively, we may become resentful towards God for not meeting our unrealistic expectations of perfection.
Daniel Moore: 31:31
However, the truth is that God is not perturbed by our weaknesses and failures. In fact, he already knows and understands them better than we do. God is a loving and merciful God who sees beyond our shortcomings and has plans to use them for His purpose. When we come to understand and accept God's unending love and grace, we can draw closer to Him. We can let go of the guilt and condemnation that weighs us down and embrace a relationship with God based on grace and forgiveness. Rather than striving to fix ourselves on our own or giving up on the process altogether, we can rely on God's strength and guidance to help us overcome our weaknesses and grow closer to Him. In realizing that God is not repulsed by our weaknesses, but instead desires to use them for His glory, we can approach Him with confidence and trust. This understanding allows us to embrace our imperfections and seek His help in becoming the person he created us to be. Our weaknesses then become a gateway to a deeper and more intimate relationship with God, strengthening our faith and leading us closer to His grace. Strengthening our faith and leading us closer to His grace, we can then do what they call fail forward. That means that when we fail, use it as an opportunity to learn and grow. Let our failures work for us. Even more important, fail closer. Let your failures pull you closer to God, closer to dependence on Him and closer to faith.
Daniel Moore: 33:08
Hebrews, chapter 4, verse 15 through 16 states For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are, yet he did not sin. Let us, then, approach God's throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. This passage reminds us of the fact that Jesus, as a high priest, can empathize with our human weaknesses and temptations because he experienced them Himself. He was fully human, yet remained without sin, making Him the perfect mediator between God and humanity. In 2 Corinthians 13, 4, paul writes For, to be sure, he was crucified in weakness, yet he lives by God's power. Likewise, we are weak in him, yet by God's power we live with him and are dealing with you. This verse emphasizes the paradox of Jesus' weakness on the cross leading to the ultimate display of God's power through his resurrection. It also speaks to how our weaknesses, when surrendered to God, can lead to a transformation by his divine power.
Daniel Moore: 34:18
Jesus' backstory and humanity are essential aspects of his identity as our Savior. By being born to a mother and living a human life, jesus was able to fully understand and relate to our struggles, pains and temptations. His humanity allows us to approach him with confidence, knowing that he understands our weaknesses and can offer us grace and mercy in times of need. While Jesus' righteousness is what ultimately saves sin, it is His humility that draws us near to Him. In Jesus, we see a compassionate and empathetic Savior who willingly entered into our human experience to show us the depth of God's love and understanding. He experienced the full range of human emotions, relationships and challenges, making him a relatable and approachable figure for us to connect with. On a personal level, in our weakness we can find strength and hope in the fact that Jesus and his humanity understands and embraces our imperfections. Rather than being a hindrance, our weaknesses become a powerful tool for God's grace to work through us. In Jesus, our weaknesses are transformed into moments of intimate connection and divine intervention, reminding us of the depth of God's love and mercy for each of us. In Jesus, our weakness is heaven's secret weapon. In Jesus, our weakness is heaven's secret weapon.
