Episode Synopsis

This Sunday we will jump back into our series in Exodus with 17:8-18:26. This passage starts with an amazing story of the Israelites' first battle after leaving Egypt. As Moses held his staff aloft overlooking the battle, the Israelites would win, but when his hands dropped, they would start losing. Moses needed help to carry the burdens of the people he was leading, and that was noticed by his father-in-law, Jethro, who stepped in to give Moses some advice on how to structure things to be more sustainable. This is a great opportunity for us to talk about dealing with the exhaustion of the burdens we carry, and the importance of community - having people around us to help with the heavy lift.
