About this audiobook
Who you think you are is not as important as who God says you are...
Many of us wrestle with the gap between our weaknesses and our dreams, between who we are and who God says we are meant to be. We feel unqualified to do God's work or to live out the calling we imagine. But God has a way of using our weaknesses for good. In fact, God loves unqualified people.
In (Un)Qualified, Pastor Steven Furtick helps you peel back the assumptions you've made about yourself and see yourself as God sees you. Because true peace and confidence come not from worldly perfection but from acceptance: God's acceptance of you, your acceptance of yourself, and your acceptance of God's process of change.
This is a book about understanding your identity in light of who God is. It's a book about coming to terms with the good, the bad, and the unmentionable in your life and learning to let God use you. It's about charging into the gap between your present and your hopes and meeting God there. After all, God can't bless who you pretend to be. But he longs to bless who you really are; a flawed and broken person. Good thing for us that God is in the business of using broken people to do big things.
Being unqualified is God's favorite qualification...
Our culture tells us that the answer to our failures is to fix them. The solution to our weaknesses is to hide them. The secret to our success is to appear as flawless as possible. But God's qualifying system is different than the world's. So is his view of our weaknesses, our purpose, and our true selves.
In (Un)Qualified, Steven Furtick explores who God is as the great "I AM," and then helps us discover our own identity. Delving into the story of Jacob, Furtick invites us to acknowledge our weaknesses and ask God to work through them.
The truth is, God has created us to be more, to accomplish more, and to love life more than we ever thought possible. But to become who he has called us to be, we must embrace who we are right now. (Un)Qualified equips us to face obstacles and failures without losing a sense of purpose. We can have a thriving sense of hope that God is working in us and through us, not in spite of our weaknesses but often as a direct result of them.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5So good! So clearly written as if it were written for an encouragement directly to me! It makes you see that we are not alone in our thoughts about never being enough. I may not be worthy but I am ACCEPTED by a loving God! That is more than enough!! I am fully loved! I am redeemed by grace! I am practicing my new 3rd words!

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5simple, super genuine and real, able to connect and relate. it enlightens me to trust God and live to please Him only. when we are comfortable of our identity as His, we have nothing to prove to people around us or trying to people-please to get approval or acceptable. a great book!

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I have always been so blessed by Ps. Steven Furtick's ministry. And reading this book, is no different. He may not be able to read this but I would like to thank him for his willingness to open up and listen to what God has called him to do. Through some characters from Bible, you will be reminded how God constantly uses the unqualified and how perfectness is never a goal but relationship with God is. Great book!
