Life, Repurposed
Wendy talked about how God gave examples in the Bible of people who failed in some way, but God used them for great things. We are not disqualified by failure when we surrender those failures to God.
There are times when our struggles might block us from seeing our potential. But Wendy reminded us that we all have potential in God’s eyes.
“We have to all believe we have potential even if we don’t see it and even if we don’t feel it.” —Wendy Pope

Hidden Potential: Revealing What God Can Do through You
Fears. Faults. Failures. Frailties. Every woman at some point wonders, Do I have to get past all my weaknesses before God can use me?
Wendy Pope is happy to tell readers: No! You don’t have to overcome, correct, rise above, or get strong before you are qualified to be part of God’s plan. He can use you right now. You are a worthwhile possibility.
In Hidden Potential, readers see that they can be:
- faithful, even in fear
- included in God’s plans, even in weaknesses
- worth something, even in failure
- valuable, even in pain
