Scripture is from Exodus 18:12-18

In this message, Andrew examines Exodus 18 and the transformation of Moses from an overburdened leader to someone learning to trust God's design for leadership and rest. The chapter centers on Jethro’s timely counsel, which confronts Moses' exhausting attempt to do everything himself—a habit shaped by his past under Pharaoh’s oppressive system.
