What does it mean to be called? And what if you feel too young, too small, or too unprepared?

God said to Jeremiah: "Do not say, I am too young." To Samuel, still a boy sleeping in the temple, he called - not once, not twice, but three times. To Daniel, a teenager in a foreign court, he gave wisdom that surpassed the experts around him.

This week our writer Thomas Hartman guides us through the Bible's stories of unlikely calling. Our writers explain how again and again, God chooses the ones who feel least qualified - and equips them to do the work.

The question isn't whether you're ready. It's whether you're listening.

A new week in Fresh from The Word and the theme is Nurture.

This week our guide is Thomas Hartman, a zoologist and evolutionary geneticist who loves teaching at his university, builds bridges with underprivileged children using dinosaur skeletons and insect collections, and firmly believes that dinosaurs are the key to teaching children about anything.

His week asks: what does it mean to be nurtured by God in the earliest seasons of life? Through Ecclesiastes 3, Hosea 11, Samuel learning to recognise God's voice, Jeremiah told "do not say I am too young," Daniel in Babylon, Hannah's prayer in the temple, and Moses learning to delegate.

A week for anyone who has ever felt too young, too unprepared, or too small for what God is asking.

"Let the children come to me." Then: the rich young man who couldn't let go. Terry Lester on Matthew 19: at every stage of life, Jesus calls us back to childlike trust.
