Rabbi John talks about how God raises up people to do the jobs he wants done, and accepts them where they are, even when their faith isn't perfect. He gives as one example the case of Gideon (Judges 6) where God called Gideon to destroy his father's altar to Ba'al. Gideon obeyed God and destroyed the altar, but he did it at night out of fear of the townspeople. God did not become angry with Gideon over his imperfect faith, but accepted Gideon as having done the thing that God called him to do.
