God Doesn’t Call the Qualified

What if God isn’t looking for the most trained, credentialed, or platformed voices—but the most obedient ones? In this episode of Still We Preach, we walk through Amos 7 to confront a deeply modern assumption: that formal training, titles, and religious status are prerequisites for being used by God. Scripture tells a different story. Amos wasn’t a prophet by profession. He wasn’t seminary-trained. He wasn’t part of the religious elite. He was a shepherd—called straight from the margins to speak truth to power. And his message wasn’t just about idolatry, but about justice, oppression, and God’s concern for the poor. We also highlight the life of Jarena Lee, a pioneering Black woman preacher in the early 1800s who was called by God but denied a pulpit by religious institutions—until the Spirit made a way. Her story stands alongside Amos as evidence that God consistently calls voices from the margins to challenge systems from the inside. If you’ve ever felt: -“I know Scripture, but I don’t have the training” -“I don’t have the title, platform, or degree” -“I’m stuck in a mundane job, waiting on God to use me” This message is for you. You don’t need a pulpit to preach. Your life is the pulpit. 👉 At the end of this episode, you’ll be invited to ask one question that can reshape how you see your work, your calling, and your place in God’s justice-driven mission—right where you are. I cut the complexity and deliver genuine, insightful spiritual lessons that make you think, make you smile, and help your faith finally click #StillWePreach #Amos7 #BibleTeaching #ChristianYouTube #CallingFromTheMargins #FaithAndWork #JusticeAndWorship #BlackPropheticTradition #ChristianDiscipleship #ObedienceOverCredentials #ChristianMotivation #LivingYourCalling #FaithInEverydayLife Timestamps: 00:00 – Who would we choose as God’s spokesperson today—and why might that be wrong? 00:33 – What does being “too young” or “unqualified” reveal about how we measure calling? 05:22 – Why was God judging Israel—not just for idolatry, but for injustice? 07:56 – Who was Amos, and why did his background disqualify him in human eyes? 08:59 – Why did the religious system reject Amos’s message? 10:53 – What is the “blue-collar mandate” we see in Amos’s calling? 11:35 – What does it mean that God “took” Amos instead of Amos applying? 12:24 – Why did Amos reject the title of prophet? 12:45 – Who was Jarena Lee, and why does her story matter today? 14:04 – What happens when God’s call collides with religious gatekeeping? 15:56 – Why does God so often speak through voices on the margins? 17:24 – What if your job isn’t a distraction from ministry—but the ministry itself? 18:33 – How does being outside the system give you prophetic clarity? 19:06 – Do we misunderstand how God usually calls people? 20:27 – Why might your marginalized position be your greatest spiritual advantage? 21:15 – What is the one question you should ask God this week? 22:39 – Why does God often develop people in obscurity before visibility? 24:11 – Is God really looking for talent—or obedience? 25:00 – What does it mean that God qualifies the called where they already are?
