God Uses Weak People: Paul, the Cross, and Life in the Spirit | #95
About this episode
Zach and Jill discuss the challenges of feeling weak and inadequate in serving and following Jesus, drawing on Paul's teachings about the power of the gospel.
What do you do when you feel too weak, insecure, or inadequate to keep going? In this episode, Zach and Jill sit down after a heavy week and talk honestly about what it feels like to serve, teach, lead, parent, and follow Jesus when you don’t feel strong. Instead of pretending, they turn to Paul’s words in 1 Corinthians, where the power of the gospel is located not in eloquence, strategy, charisma, or human wisdom, but in Christ crucified. Paul says the word of the cross looks like foolishness to the world, but to those being saved, it is the power of God. The Jews demanded signs. The Greeks sought wisdom. But Paul preached Christ crucified: the power of God and the wisdom of God.
