Impostor syndrome is essentially a persistent inability to believe that your success is actually deserved. The underlying feeling is: "If they really knew...". If they knew how bad I am with time, how divided my heart is, or how little I know what I’m doing, they’d never listen.Regardless of your level of success, you still get hit with this feeling that you’re just not enough. I’ve lived this. When I was a young pastor newly out of seminary, I didn’t think I knew what I was doing, so I tried to pattern myself after others—trying to sound like Mark Driscoll or Chuck Swindoll. Even now as a streamer, I struggle with view counts because there is "no good number". If the number is high, I feel like I've fooled everybody; if it's low, I feel like it's what I deserve.But I want you to consider this: Is it possible that your fear of inadequacy will actually make you dependent on God? When God called Moses, Moses didn't list his education or power; he asked, "Who am I?". God’s response wasn't about Moses' skills—it was simply, "I will be with you".Your feeling of calling is more important than your credentials. That feeling of "I don't know what I'm doing" actually becomes a qualifier. It keeps you praying, preparing, and making sure what you say has value. I’m here to serve you, not to feed my own ego.
