00:00You know, there is no man living who isn't capable of doing more than he thinks he can do.

00:10You know, most men don't fail because they lack ability.

00:14They fail because they stop believing growth is still possible.

00:20And somewhere along the way, life convinces us that we've reached our limit.

00:27Not because God said so, but because disappointment did, because exhaustion did, because fear did,

00:40because past failures have whispered, this is as far as you go.

00:48But God has never been impressed by the limits we place upon ourselves.

00:53In scripture, the men God used most powerfully were not the most confident.

01:00They were the most available.

01:03They didn't believe in themselves at first.

01:06They believed God was present.

01:10At that presence, unlock something inside them they didn't even know existed.

01:17Moses didn't see a leader when he looked in the mirror.

01:21He saw a fugitive with a speech problem.

01:26A terrible stutter.

01:29But God?

01:31God saw a man who could confront Pharaoh.

01:35Gideon saw weakness.

01:38God saw courage waiting to be drawn out.

01:41Peter saw instability.

01:45Jesus saw a rock.

01:49Here's the pattern.

01:50God always sees more in you than you see in yourself.

01:56And that gap?

01:57The space between how you see yourself and how God sees you?

02:02Is where faith is built.

02:06You see, most men live cautiously because they confuse safety with wisdom.

02:12But biblical faith has never been about playing it safe.

02:16It's been about trusting God when the outcome isn't guaranteed.

02:22Now, faith does not mean that fear disappears.

02:30Faith means obedience shows up despite fear.

02:35You don't become strong by waiting until you feel strong.

02:39Strength is formed when you act while still feeling unsure.

02:46And that's uncomfortable.

02:49But you know what?

02:51Growth is always uncomfortable.

02:54We want confidence before the step.

02:58We want fire before we have to apply wood.

03:02God offers confidence through the step.

03:06We want clarity first.

03:08But God says, walk.

03:11And I'll light the path as you move.

03:14That's why so many men stall.

03:18Not because they lack faith entirely.

03:22But because they demand certainty God never promised.

03:27Think about Abraham.

03:29Now, God didn't give him a map.

03:32He gave him a direction.

03:35Go.

03:36And I will show you.

03:38The showing came after the going, see?

03:44And that's where most men stop.

03:48They wait for permission from comfort.

03:51They wait for reassurance from circumstances.

03:55They wait for validation from people who are just as afraid to move.

04:02But God doesn't call men to comfort.

04:05He calls them to courage.

04:09And courage is not loud.

04:12Courage is often quiet.

04:15It shows up in daily obedience, unseen faithfulness, and staying when quitting would be easier.

04:24And you, my friend, you are capable of much more than you think.

04:31More endurance.

04:33But endurance only reveals itself under pressure.

04:38Now, you are capable of more patience than you think.

04:42But patience only grows when tested.

04:45And you're capable of more leadership than you think.

04:52But leadership?

04:54Leadership forms when responsibility feels heavy.

04:58You see, God did not reveal your full capacity in advance because you would rely on yourself instead of him.

05:09So, he stretches you gradually.

05:13One step.

05:14One burden.

05:16One obedience at a time.

05:19And somewhere along the way, you realize you're carrying things you never thought you could carry.

05:27Speaking truths you never thought you'd speak.

05:30Standing firm in moments that once would have broken you.

05:36That's not accidental.

05:39That's formation.

05:40And the problem is that many men interpret struggle as failure.

05:45They think, if this were God, it wouldn't be this hard.

05:51But scripture?

05:53Well, scripture tells us a different story.

05:56Resistance doesn't mean God has left you.

05:59Often, it means you're crossing a threshold.

06:04You see, Jesus himself faced resistance at every turning point of his ministry.

06:11Before miracles.

06:13Before the cross.

06:14Before resurrection.

06:17Difficulty did not mean abandonment.

06:21It meant significance.

06:23If what you're doing matters, it will cost you something.

06:30Some of you are tired right now.

06:33Not because you're weak, but because you're growing.

06:37You're carrying responsibility you didn't carry before.

06:41You're seeing clearly in ways you didn't before.

06:46You're wrestling with purpose, calling, and obedience.

06:51And that exhaustion is not evidence of failure.

06:56It's evidence of expansion.

07:00But here's the warning.

07:02Fatigue should lead you to God.

07:05Not away from him.

07:08Jesus withdrew to pray.

07:11He rested.

07:13He realigned.

07:14But he didn't quit.

07:17There is a difference between rest and retreat.

07:21Rest restores strength.

07:25Retreat abandons calling.

07:29And many men retreat way too early.

07:32Right before strength would have been revealed.

07:36You don't discover who you are in moments of ease.

07:40You discover who you are when quitting feels justified.

07:44But obedience keeps you moving forward.

07:49Now, God doesn't ask you to be fearless.

07:53He asks you to be faithful.

07:56Faithful when progress is slow.

07:59Faithful when recognition is absent.

08:02Faithful when results are delayed.

08:05Because faithfulness, faithfulness builds capacity.

08:13The man you are becoming is shaped by what you choose not to quit.

08:19You are not defined by what you lack.

08:22You are defined by who walks with you.

08:25And when God walks with a man, the limits that once felt permanent begin to dissolve.

08:33So, stop measuring yourself by yesterday's version of you.

08:40Stop letting old mistakes decide new obedience.

08:45Stop assuming that because something feels heavy, it means you weren't meant to carry it.

08:52God equips those he calls.

08:56But often the equipment is revealed after the call is accepted.

09:01Now, you are capable of more faith than you think.

09:05More obedience than you think.

09:09More strength than you think.

09:13More purpose than you think.

09:16And not because you are enough, but because God is.

09:23And one day, if you keep walking, you'll look back and realize something profound.

09:29The strength you were waiting for was already inside of you.

09:35It was just waiting for faith to activate it.

09:40So, take the step.

09:43Carry the responsibility.

09:44Say yes before you feel ready.

09:49There is no man living who isn't capable of doing more than he thinks he can do.

09:55When he walks forward with God.

10:00And that, my friend, includes you.

10:06God bless you, my friends.
