From the series, "Acts". In Chapter 11, we see Barnabas, who is called the "son of encouragement". Walking in the Way of Jesus is seeing your entire existence as an encourager. Encouragers see people and situations through the eyes of Jesus.  They are joyful people, full of goodness, faith, and the Holy Spirit. Encouragers form partnerships, emulating God the Father, who forms covenants throughout the Bible, working alongside people to accomplish good together.
