In this powerful message, Pastor Greg Laurie explores the story of Gideon from Judges 6-7, showing how Jesus meets us in our fear and transforms us into mighty warriors for God. Despite living in an "upside down" culture where 84% of Gen Z struggles with anxiety and 70% of Americans fear the future, we can find courage and purpose through Christ's presence.

Discover how God reduced Gideon's army from 32,000 to just 300 men to demonstrate that He can do more with fully committed believers than with half-hearted followers. Learn why God calls us to be spiritual leaders at home before achieving public victory, and understand the spiritual battle we face today.

This sermon includes Pastor Greg's personal testimony of overcoming cynicism and fear, plus a powerful altar call where many came to faith in Christ. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, feeling inadequate, or wondering if God can use someone like you, this message will encourage you that Jesus sees not just who you are, but who you can become.

Key Scripture: Judges 6-7, Ephesians 6
