Episode Synopsis

In this episode, we dive into one of the most overlooked yet powerful moments in Jesus’ final stretch toward the cross. Matthew 21:3 shows us that Jesus didn’t choose a war horse, a chariot, or anything that screamed power. He chose a simple donkey — an ordinary, unimpressive animal — to carry the King of Kings into prophecy.This teaching confronts the lie that God only uses the impressive, the gifted, the polished, or the platformed. We explore how the Kingdom is moved forward by men who simply say, “Lord, if You need me… I’m Yours.” Not by the loudest, strongest, or most visible — but by the faithful.You’ll hear: • Why God uses availability more than ability • The danger of self–disqualification and comparison • How “ordinary” obedience becomes extraordinary in Jesus’ hands • Real examples of quiet Kingdom work that heaven celebrates • Practical steps to step off the sidelines and into surrenderWe close with a reflection question, a daily challenge, and a prayer to help you offer God the “donkey” you’ve been holding back.If you’ve ever felt unqualified, unseen, or “not enough,” this episode will reframe your calling and refuel your faith.Check out www.restoringwarriors.com for more information and to sign up to receive the daily devos!
