Eliminating Excuses is a six-day devotional by Chris Mendez, pastor of Hillsong Latin America. This devotional is designed to give you hope in the midst of challenging and difficult times.

When we hear the name Gideon, most of us think about his 300 soldiers or a fleece spread beneath the evening sky. But Gideon's story is so much bigger than that. This is a story about God and His people—His love for them, as well as His strength operating in spite of, even through, their weakness.

The most frequently repeated command in Scripture is: Do not be afraid. God’s people are told over and over not to fear. Why? Because if you and I are honest, we have a problem with fear. In this 7-day plan, we explore the story of Gideon and the keys to living a life without fear. Dive in and begin extinguishing the doubts that get in the way of your faith!

No one wants to talk about failure, but we all miss the mark from time to time. Even our biblical heroes did things they shouldn’t have done. But when we mess up or our circumstances seem dire, God steps in to make things right. That’s the beauty of an unfailing God, one who is with us every step of the way.
