What does it mean for us to co-labor with God? How can we partner well with others? This episode concludes a four-part series unpacking TeachBeyond's four core values – humility, excellence, love, and partnership – with Brian Delamont, TeachBeyond Executive Vice President.
- TeachBeyond's Core Value of Partnership: Understanding our role as co-laborers with God, we intentionally seek to partner with others to promote the work of transformation around the world. We commit to working together in unity and community as a family of faith.

- John 20:19-21
- "As the Father has sent the Son, so the Son sends us! What a high elevation of the Gospel call. It's more than a task, or a mandate to travel and share good news, it is literally the giving of authority to be sent by the Son of God."

- 2 Corinthians 9:13
- 1 John 1:3,7
