Though we may not know their names or tell tales of their outstanding feats, there are countless quiet, humble disciples in the scriptures who faithfully found their place in the fold of God even when their contributions went unnoticed by those around them. As we start to see the impact of these unnamed scripture heroes, we can also better recognize the significance of the seemingly small contributions each of us can make to building God’s kingdom on earth.
Everyday Disciples testifies that every voice is needed, every testimony is important, and every soul is great in the sight of God.
