Who believed in you before you believed in yourself? This week in Their Story, Our Lesson, we close the series with Barnabas, the man who vouched for a newly-converted Saul when no one else would, and who later refused to abandon John Mark when everyone else had written him off. Encouragement isn't cheerleading. It's believing in someone at the cost of your own comfort. And this week, we're making the case that it might be the most underrated act of courage in the church.

Have you ever felt invisible, used, forgotten, or pushed to the side? This week in Their Story, Our Lesson, we sit with Hagar: a servant with no power over her own story, cast aside in the wilderness by the very people who needed her. What happens next is one of the most tender moments in all of Scripture and it carries a name that might just change how you see yourself. El Roi. The God who sees.

In this episode, we explore the often-overlooked story of Jethro, Moses' father-in-law and a man who had no business giving advice to the great leader of Israel. Except he did. And Moses took it. We talk about the pride that keeps us burning out alone, the humility that can receive wisdom from unexpected sources, and why Moses listening to Jethro may have saved an entire nation from collapse.
