The Hero In John Hinson's Courageous Faith
The hero that I most identify with in Hinson’s Courageous Faith, is Gideon.1 I have previously discussed my Army career where I served as a senior leader. I held various leadership positions for 28 of my 31 years of service. Gideon was not a leader, in fact, he was a frightened farmer who is hiding in a pit trying to remove the wheat from the chaff. 2 I am the opposite of Gideon when it comes to leadership. The Lord had to teach Gideon how to lead, or shall I say Gideon had to submit to the Lord so he could be a leader-sheep, as God wanted him to. I, on the other hand, have submitted to God for the ability to be a follower-sheep.
I am humbling myself in all areas of ministry to simply watch, learn and do as leaders ask. My job is to follow
