Why God Chooses People Who Feel Unqualified | Joshua 2

Main message: God uses unlikely people—like Rahab—so past sins or perceived shortcomings don't permanently disqualify you; what matters is your response of faith, repentance, and courageous action. Vulnerability and testimony build relationships and help God’s work move forward.

Key points:

• Rahab, a prostitute in Joshua, shows that God can use people from unexpected backgrounds and even include them in Jesus’ genealogy.
• Sin itself doesn’t automatically disqualify someone; what matters is repentance and how we respond to our sin.
• Confession and vulnerability (being known) build relationships and enable healing and leadership growth.
• Testimony—sharing where you’ve come from—can transform others and open doors for ministry.
• Feelings of inferiority (lack of education, gender barriers, social background) are common, but God qualifies those He calls and calls for courageous faith.
