11 When The World Says You're Done - But God Says There's More : Tabitha's Story - also known as Dorcas (Invisible Women of the Bible)

Have you ever wondered if the quiet things you do—the unnoticed kindness, the behind-the-scenes care—actually make a difference? Maybe you’ve spent years serving others, raising kids, supporting family or church, only to find yourself now navigating life after loss, divorce, an empty nest, or simply wondering, What now?

In this episode of Rooted & Resilient, we meet Tabitha—also called Dorcas—a woman in the book of Acts who didn’t preach or stand on platforms, but whose love and care transformed a whole community. She was a disciple in the truest sense: quietly loving well, meeting practical needs, and restoring dignity to those the world had overlooked.

When she died, the women she served wept—not just because they missed her, but because they feared losing the one person who had helped them feel seen.

If you’ve ever felt invisible, or questioned whether your small acts of love matter in the long run, this story will speak right to your heart.

And what happens next? Let’s just say—God didn’t let her story end there.
