Transcription: And yet a close look at the life of Gideon shows the material God had to work with. Gideon's family and village worshiped Baal, not the Lord. In the face of God's clear direction, Gideon sputtered, demanded repeated proofs, used delaying tactics, and worshiped at night to avoid detection. He was subject to paralyzing fears even on the eve of battle. But God, knowing Gideon's potential, step by step, that brought him to the point of courage.
