Feeling too broken or imperfect to serve God? You're not alone. Many Christians struggle with feeling unqualified to make a difference in God's kingdom.

Moses had a speech impediment, Peter denied Jesus, and David had moral failures – yet God used them all powerfully. The ministry of showing up badly is still ministry.

Stop waiting for perfection and start serving with availability – God doesn't call the equipped, He equips the called.
