Ministry: The Wrong Person

Air date: January 30, 2025

Ron: Have you ever noticed that in God’s ministry strategy the wrong person is often the right person?

Announcer: For FamilyLife Blended®, here’s Ron Deal.

Ron: If you are like me you’ve felt inadequate to lead a ministry. I don’t know enough. I’m not the right person. I don’t have a personality for that. These are all things I’ve said to myself. I hear similar things from couples especially after I challenge them to do something like start or lead a stepfamily class or small group in their church. “We don’t know what we are doing,” they say.

You know what? I say that is perfect because God’s strength is always perfected in our weakness. In God’s economy, being the wrong person makes you the right person. Starting a small group? You can do it. Let us help. For FamilyLife Blended I’m Ron Deal.
