It's Tuesdays with Tata!
Hard to believe, but this is episode #87 in the Tuesdays with Tata series.
Today, Tata walks us through the story of Gideon in Judges 6 and 7 in the Old Testament. It's a familiar story, but it's so easy to miss some huge lessons. We talk about how Gideon believed a story about himself ("I'm the weakest member of the weakest clan of the weakest tribe in my weak country"), but that God had a very different belief about Gideon. We'll see how Gideon had to go all-in to believe God, change his mind about limiting beliefs, be willing to even go up against his own father, and in the end, step into his real calling and identity.
If you feel stuck, weak, or believe things about yourself that are different than the truth of God made you to be, this episode will encourage you.
