Speaking of “baggage” these folks had some weighty stuff they carried...just for perspective:
Jacob was a cheater, Peter had a temper, David had an affair, Noah got drunk, Jonah ran from God, Paul was a murderer, Gideon was insecure, Miriam was a gossiper, Martha was a worrier, Thomas was a doubter, Elijah was moody, Moses stuttered, Zaccheus was short, Abraham was old, Lazarus was dead....
God doesnt call the qualified, He qualifies the CALLED!

If I were any of them, I would think twice about running for president...
Not to mention the girls - shall we start with Mary Magdalene?
