Join best-selling author and Bible teacher Nicki Koziarz for a special teaching episode on Gideon. In this episode, we dive into the story of Gideon in Judges 6:11-24.
This is a passage where God meets Gideon in his fear and uncertainty, calling him to a purpose far greater than he ever imagined. Nicki shares how Gideon can teach us to find and remove the pieces in our peace, to experience "shalom" total complete peace.
Some things we cover:
Setting the Scene (v.11-12): Gideon's initial state: hiding in a winepress, threshing wheat, fearful of the Midianites. God’s greeting: "The Lord is with you, mighty warrior!" — a powerful reminder of God's vision for Gideon that surpasses his own self-image. Gideon’s Doubts and God’s Patience (v.13-16): Gideon questions God’s presence and actions, reflecting his insecurity and frustration. God's response is both reassuring and affirming, telling Gideon to "go in the strength you have." A discussion on how God often calls us despite our doubts and inabilities, equipping us for what He's called us to. The Sign of the Sacrifice (v.17-24): Gideon asks for a sign to confirm his calling, and God honors this by miraculously consuming Gideon’s offering. The significance of the offering, and how it represents Gideon’s need to lay down his doubts. Reflection on how God sometimes provides reassurance in unexpected ways, meeting us where we are.
Learning to trust God's vision of who we are rather than our own limited perspectives. Someimes He calls us to seasons that are seem to make no sense but they aren't senless. We can have encouragement to step out in faith, even when we feel inadequate, because God promises His presence. Embracing God’s patience and kindness when we struggle with doubt and fear.
“The Lord is with you, mighty warrior.” - Judges 6:12
In what areas of your life do you struggle to see yourself as God sees you?
How can you start "going in the strength you have," as God told Gideon?
What might it look like for you to lay down your doubts and trust God’s presence in the midst of the battles of your life?
Something to think about: Gideon's story shows us that God doesn't always call the equipped, but He equips those He calls. As we reflect on this passage, keep your soul open to God’s encouragement and step into the roles He's calling us to, knowing that His "shalom" peace is with us as we build an altar to alter our lives.

TroQuell Jenkins life was dramatically changed one afternoon as she was the victim of being shot three times which left her paralyzed. She now travels the world sharing her testimony and is here today on the podcast to help us learn from her experience.
2 Corinthians 2:14-17
But thanks be to God, who always leads us as captives in Christ’s triumphal procession and
uses us to spread the aroma of the knowledge of him everywhere. For we are to God the
pleasing aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing. To
the one we are an aroma that brings death; to the other, an aroma that brings life. And who is
equal to such a task? Unlike so many, we do not peddle the word of God for profit. On the
contrary, in Christ we speak before God with sincerity, as those sent from God.

Welcome to the Soul Cleaning series! I'm super excited to invite you to join me for this Spring podcast series as we look at the idea of what does it mean to "clean out our souls".
In today's episode it's just me, Nicki Koziarz, sharing a teaching on what it really means to take the time to clean out our souls.
Here are a few things we unpack in this episode:
Symptoms of a Soul That Might Not Be Well:
- Extreme fatigue
- High levels of anxiety
- The littlest thing can throw you off
- Your thoughts are constantly negative and so are your words
- You are distancing yourself more and more from people.
- Are you saying yes when you should say no, and saying no when you should be saying yes?
I'm asking you these questions:
- What messages are you feeding your soul?
- What are the things in your life that are making you feel unstable?
- What are the things that you are looking at in the future that feel unknown?
- What is the sin that you just are not recognizing in your life right now?
Bible Verses
I John 1:8
If we says we have no sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.
I John 1:9
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive our sins, and cleans us from all unrighteousness.
James 5:16
Therefore confess your sins to one another and pray for one another. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.
