#21: Character: Why God Uses Some People More Than Others- Kyle Farran

4/15/2025

Based on the book Overflowing: Ministry and Missions That Flow From the Heart

Topics: Spiritual Growth • Leadership Development • Missions • Christian Character • Heart Transformation

​In this episode, we talk about one of the most important—and often overlooked—questions in ministry and missions: Why does God use some people more than others?

Drawing from the first chapter of
⁠Overflowing: Ministry and Missions That Flow From the Heart⁠, we explore what sets certain individuals apart in God's plan—not in talent, platform, or performance, but in character.

In this episode, we'll answer:
✅ What kind of person is God looking to use?

✅ Why is who you are more important than what you do?
✅ How can we become useful vessels for God’s purposes?
✅ What does 2 Chronicles 16:9 teach us about God's search for wholehearted servants?
✅ How do humility, holiness, and faithfulness prepare you for greater impact in ministry?
​
We dig deep into how God’s strong support rests on those whose hearts are fully His, and how developing godly character is the foundation for fruitfulness in life and leadership.

This episode is not just about doing more for God, but about becoming the kind of person God looks to use. If you’re in ministry, missions, or simply want to live a life that counts for eternity, this message will help you evaluate where you are—and where God is calling you to grow.

If you want your life, ministry, or organization to be one that God uses and blesses with His strength—it all starts with character.

This episode is based on Chapter 1 of my book, Overflowing
. If you want to keep exploring what it means to become the kind of person God looks to use, you can ⁠get the full book on Amazon⁠.
