Joel Johnson

God uses Gideon to lead His army and defeat the Midianites. First, Gideon learns to believe and trust God in order to receive the blessing. We learn to overcome obstacles in our life through the life of Gideon as we see how Gideon bestowed his life to God, opened his life so God could bless him, allowed God to break down old habits, then saw how God broadened Gideon's life. If we follow these things, God will broaden our lives, changing our families and the community around us.
