What Aaron teaches you
Faith. God can use your voice in a supporting role, so serve wholeheartedly even when your name is not the one out front.
Family. Stand beside your siblings in their calling instead of competing with them, because family partnership can strengthen both of you.
Business and calling. Do not let pressure from the crowd push you into decisions you know are wrong, and own your mistakes without excuses.
