How many highly educated and polished people are really suited to preach the gospel?

Les explains that when it comes to intellectual, highly educated, highly polished people who seem apt and appropriate for proclaiming the gospel, the number is very few, if any, because God does not use those kinds of people. God can only use what the world sees as nothing. He points to Moses as a prime example: Moses had become second in Egypt, with power and authority over armies, civilian operations, road building, and bridges, and he thought he could lead Israel out. But God sent him to the back side of a desert to be a smelly sheep herder—an abomination in Egyptian eyes. There God brought him down from his lofty position to a lowly sheep herder who likely lost communication skills and saw almost no one. Out of that circumstance of being a nobody, God said, “Go to Pharaoh.”
