Pip: If you’ve ever talked yourself out of a calling because you felt unqualified, Zions Future with Jesus the Christ has a historical counterargument that goes back roughly to the beginning of recorded time.
Mara: Today we’re looking at one of the most striking examples of that — the story of Enoch, a man scripture describes as blind and slow of speech, and what his calling says about how God chooses people. Let’s start with what that story actually claims.
Enoch was Blind and Slow of Speech
Pip: The question this post puts on the table is a direct one: what does it mean that God called Enoch — a man who, by any conventional measure of leadership readiness, would have been passed over — to serve? That gap between human limitation and divine appointment is the whole tension here.
Mara: The post opens with exactly that provocation, framing it as a question worth sitting with: “Did you know that Enoch was Blind and Slow of Speech — Yet God Called him to serve.”
Pip: And the reason that lands is because it inverts the usual logic. We tend to assume calling follows capability — that God scouts for the already-equipped. Enoch’s story says the selection criteria run in a different direction entirely.
Mara: That inversion is worth dwelling on. Blindness and slow speech are not minor inconveniences in the ancient world — they are the specific disqualifiers a culture would have named first. The post is pointing at those exact barriers and saying they were not obstacles to the call; they were the context in which the call arrived.
Pip: Which makes Enoch less a superhero origin story and more a standing challenge to anyone who has a tidy list of reasons why now is not the right time for them.
Mara: The post pairs the written prompt with a video, extending the argument in that format for anyone who wants to follow it further. The core claim, though, is compact and deliberate: limitation does not disqualify, and the evidence is Enoch himself.
Pip: It’s a short post with a long reach — the kind of thing that asks more of the reader than it asks of itself.
Mara: The thread running through today is really about the gap between how we assess readiness and how that assessment holds up against the actual record.
Pip: Enoch didn’t close that gap by becoming more qualified. Something else moved. More of that next time.
