Imperfect Faith - Hall of Faith, Barak, Week 11

Featuring: David LaManna, Lenny Salgado, Johnny V., Mike McHugh, and James Gowell.

Edited by: Tim Nicholson

In this episode of Thriving in the Word, David kicks us off by reading the section of Hebrews where Barak and several others are mentioned without description. David then reads stories from the Book of Judges where we learn about Barak.

James then gives some historical background, how God spoke to the Prophet Deborah, promising victory and how Deborah selects Barak to carry out the battle. We learn about the opponent having iron chariots (modern day tanks) and how Barak was terrified to carry out this mission. God selected Barak into the Hall of Faith, not for never having fear, not for never doubting, not for questioning Him, not for wanting backup from Deborah...because Barak went anyway...trusting God that He is who He says He is...trusting God that the battle was one.

Mike then shares about God speaking to Deborah and Barak recognizing and trusting that we also have to trust others when we see Him speaking through them.

The crew stirs the crockpot of Faith by sharing other examples of powerful faith and how God's record of 7,000+ promises in Scripture and fact that God's record is 7,000 wins and 0 losses.

We even get into the tent peg...yes, that tent peg! We cover almost ALL that there is to discuss about Barak and more.
