After asking for a sign to make sure God would aid him, he obeyed God, destroying an idolatrous altar and gathering an army to fight the Midianites (Judges ch.6-7). He was called Yerubaal, alluding to his having destroyed the idolatrous altar of baal (Judges 6:31-32). See also:
Gideon responded to God's call with doubt and fear, asking for multiple signs to confirm that it was really God speaking to him. Despite his initial hesitations, Gideon eventually obeyed God and led the Israelites to victory against their enemies.
One of the biblical judges is Jerubbaal, which indicates that his father named him in honour of the god Baal, known to have been worshipped in Israel, but Jerubbaal was also known in the Book of Judges as Gideon (see, for example, Judges 7:1). As Gideon, he was the hero whom God had chosen to drive out the Midianite menace. The author of Judges would not write the story the defeat of the Midianites, when his name was associated with Baal, thus the temporary change of name. In Judges 6:11-14, the angel of the Lord appeared to Gideon and said that he was chosen to save Israel from the Midianites. In Judges 6:17, Gideon responded by asking the angel of God for a sign. When called upon to destroy the temple of Baal and hew down the groves of Asherah (Judges 6:25), he did so, earning him the name Gideon ('He hews'). A later passage (Judges 6:31-32) claims the opposite: that he was named Jerubbal because he destroyed the altar of Baal, but Joshua Darby describes this as an extreme form of midrash (a re-interpretation of legend).
A later text, 2 Samuel 11:21, reflects a negative view of the name of Jerubbaal by referring to him as Jerubbeshet ('possessed of shame', because his real name meant 'possessed of Baal').

Gideon tested God with a fleece of wool before answering His call to lead the Israelites. In the Book of Judges in the Bible, Gideon asked God for a sign of dew on the fleece only, and then for it to be dry while the ground around it was wet. God provided both signs to confirm His message to Gideon.
We can respond to God's revelation by acknowledging it with humility, seeking to understand it through prayer and studying religious texts, and striving to live our lives in accordance with the teachings and principles revealed to us.
Gideon was a judge in Israel who was called by God to lead his people in battle against the Midianites. Gideon initially doubted that he was the chosen one, but after signs and miracles from God, he gathered an army and defeated the Midianites with only 300 men by using unconventional tactics. Gideon's story is one of faith, obedience, and victory through God's power.
The Israelites, led by Gideon, defeated the Midianites in the Old Testament story found in the Book of Judges. It took place in the battle of Gideon's 300 against the massive Midianite army.

I don't have any plans to respond.
A:By responding to this call, you have already decided to have faith in God's existence and in his guidance. You will find confidence that he is guiding and helping you in your life. It could simply be that it is your faith that is guiding you but, for you, it is God who has entered your life.
It's a joke among the team. Hotch is Mom, Gideon is dad. In the newer episodes Rossi is Dad.
