Not Your Obvious Choice
In the Bible you‘ll notice a pattern to the people God chooses. He chooses people who are not obvious choices, from a human perspective, to do the jobs He wants them to do. David wasn‘t the obvious choice to be king. Gideon wasn‘t the obvious choice to fight the Midianites. The disciples weren‘t the obvious choices to be world-changing leaders. There‘s a reason God chooses the way He does. God chooses those in whom He can develop a strong root system. And it‘s actually to His advantage to choose those who don‘t feel qualified for the job, because they are less likely to think they can rely on themselves to make anything happen.

About this Plan
As Christians seek out their God-given purpose, it is natural to expect God to develop the skills and abilities given to believers that would allow them to go into the world and make an impact for the Kingdom. However, the focus is often spent on the vision God gave his Church rather than realizing God's main desire is to develop His children. If Christians want to change the world and "bear fruit" that makes an impact on the world, they must first make roots that last. Using the life of David, Liebscher gives readers three areas to dig in to start building those lasting roots--prayer, service, and community.
