The Power of Being Ordinary | Carter Conlon

What if the greatest move of God isn’t found in the spotlight… but in the grocery store aisle?

In this unforgettable message, Carter Conlon leads us into a deep and powerful revelation: that the glory of God is revealed through ordinary people. From Scripture to personal stories — from Mary at the tomb to a broken man buying roses — Carter reminds us that ministry doesn’t always look like a pulpit. Sometimes, it looks like a prayer in a parking lot. A word on a walk. Or just being present when someone needs Jesus most.

“Who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?” (Isaiah 53:1)

This is a message for the discouraged, the overlooked, the tired, and the ordinary. If you’ve ever felt like you didn’t measure up — that your life, your gifts, or your story weren’t enough — this message will flip that lie on its head.

 

Jesus came as a carpenter.

He rose and appeared as a gardener, a traveler, and a cook.

And He still shows up in ordinary people like YOU.

 

There is power in being exactly who God made you to be.

There is no mistake in your calling.

There is no shame in the simplicity of your life.

 

You are the body of Christ — whether you’re a plumber, teacher, mom, student, or retired.

You are His hands and feet — in your city, your job, your street.

You carry His Spirit, and that is where the power is.

 

“Don’t be offended by how God has chosen to reveal Himself through you.”

This message will make you laugh, weep, and most of all — thank God for making you exactly the way He did. If you’ve ever felt small, forgotten, or disqualified — this is your moment of breakthrough.
