About this episode

The episode discusses how God uses unlikely people for His purposes, focusing on the story of Deborah and Barak.

Last week we saw that God chooses who He uses, and sometimes He chooses to use some pretty unlikely people. In the account of Deborah and Barak we see that although Israel had a military general to lead their army, God provided wisdom, direction, victory, and rescue for His people through a pair of women–a highly unlikely scenario in the ancient Near East.
