In this new series, Everyday Heroes, Leah invites us to look beyond biblical “heroes” we already know and toward the quiet courage of everyday people who resist violence and preserve life. Centering the story of the midwives Shiphrah and Puah in Exodus, the sermon explores how faithfulness can take the form of moral courage, sacred skill, and strategic resistance. Their story offers a vision of discipleship rooted not in power or recognition, but in allegiance to life, justice, and the sacred. This teaching calls us to recognize our own capacity to act wth courage, wherever we are positioned.
