What if the thing you think disqualifies you is actually the very thing God wants to use?

In this special Heart to Heart episode, Ash and Lydia sit down for an honest conversation about comparison, insecurity, striving, trust, and the pressure to feel "ready" for what God has called you to.

Together, they unpack a powerful realization:

Human standards and God's standards are not the same.

While the world looks for perfect resumes, impressive achievements, confidence, experience, and success, God has a history of using ordinary, imperfect people to accomplish extraordinary things.

From Moses' insecurity and David's insignificance to Esther's uncertainty and Paul's broken past, the Bible is filled with stories of people who felt unqualified for what God was asking them to do. Yet God repeatedly chose weakness as the place where His strength would be revealed.

Ash and Lydia also discuss the exhausting cycle of striving, constantly trying to prove yourself, battling comparison, wrestling with anxiety, and wondering whether you're doing enough for God.

This conversation is a reminder that God isn't looking for perfection. He's looking for obedience.

If you've ever felt unqualified, overlooked, intimidated, exhausted, or afraid that you're not enough for what God has called you to, this episode is for you.

Because the good news is this:

God isn't waiting for you to be perfect before He uses you.
