The reluctant warrior who defeated a massive army with 300 men and some torches
An Israelite judge who needed multiple signs from God before he believed he was chosen (the famous fleece tests in Judges 6:36-40). God deliberately reduced his army from 32,000 to 300 to prove the victory was divine, not human. They won using trumpets, jars, and torches — no swords. Despite this faith moment, Gideon later made an idol that led Israel astray (Judges 8:27).
