The (in)courage Podcast — Christianity
The (in)courage Podcast

Welcome to the (in)courage podcast! We are all different ages, in different life stages, and we come from different cultures and churches, but our common thread is the hope of Jesus. Each weekday we meet you right where you are as one of our writers shares what’s going on in her everyday life and how God’s right in the middle of it all. We bring our joys and struggles equally so that you can feel less alone, and be empowered by the hope Jesus gives. We hope you’ll bring us along with you on your morning walks, driving to the grocery store, waiting in the preschool pickup line, alone in your kitchen, or as you wind down for the evening. Wherever you join us, you’re welcome here, and we’re honored to be a part of your day.

Simi John: The Old Made New Aug 21, 2024

Show notes

"'You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.'
-Ephesians 4:22-24 NIV
This is a daily choice, not a one-time decision. Like my husband with a firm and loving tone reminded me, I pray that you would hear the voice of Christ, reminding you of who you are today and that He would lead you to take the steps of getting rid of the unhealthy and ill-fitting things of your past so you can put on Christ."

Dorina Lazo Gilmore-Young: Using the Tent Pegs God Has Given Us Aug 20, 2024

Show notes

"Both Deborah and Jael were wise, strategic, and courageous women who God used in extraordinary ways to lead and rescue His people.
Friend, it’s unlikely that God will call you and me to take out a warrior with a tent peg, but He can use our strategic minds, our creative hands, and our discerning hearts for His glory."

Jennifer Dukes Lee: Praise Him Anyway Aug 19, 2024

Show notes

"I want to be the kind of person who, even at my lowest, refuses to allow circumstances to dictate my life or my praise. I confess to you that on hard days, my first reaction isn’t to feel thankful.
On hard days, you’d more likely find me trying to pray my way out of the struggle.
But the truth of the matter is, hard days can turn into hard seasons, no matter how much we pray. So the question becomes, 'Will I praise Him anyway?'"

Becky Keife: Hope for New Life from the Aftermath of Destruction Aug 15, 2024

Show notes

"God takes what is burned and busted up and makes it beautifully purposeful. Romans 8:28 says, 'We know that all things work together for the good of those who love God, who are called according to his purpose.' Whether we are suffering through the blackened aftermath of our sin or wounds from the sins of others, whether we’re walking through chronic illness or anxiety, or enduring a season of depression or broken relationships, we can trust that God is not done writing our story.
We can trust that, in God’s loving, creative hands, any source of destruction can eventually be used to resurrect new life."

Mary Carver: There's No Way Back to Normal But There Is a Way Forward Aug 14, 2024

Show notes

"Jesus made it clear: He is the way. Our path forward is to follow Him. How do we follow the Lord instead of our longings for a different reality?
We read God’s Word.
Or we pour our hearts out in prayer until we’ve made space to be filled up by Him.
We stand in His creation and listen to the story it tells.
We crank up the music or lift up our hands. We sway to the beat or tap our feet or sit perfectly still and soak up every lyric and note.
However you hear from God, wherever you encounter Jesus -- do that, go there. He promises to meet you. And He will show you a way forward that's better than 'normal.'"

Anna E. Rendell: The Gift of My Faults Aug 13, 2024

Show notes

"God stays the same so we don’t have to.
While adapting to the changes we don’t ask for can drag us right through the mud and into the valley, God the author remains unchanged. Malachi 3:6 (NIV) says straight up, "I the Lord do not change." And His faithfulness, His consistency, His unchanging nature can soothe our fear of the unknown."

Kayla Craig: Seasons Change, and So Should We Aug 12, 2024

Show notes

"When I read my Bible, I feel a bit like Alice in Wonderland, opening doors and going down rabbit holes, often finding more questions than answers. The more I learn, the more I wonder. The more I wonder, the more I learn. A life walking with Christ is comforting yet often confounding. The more we embrace a posture of Christian curiosity, the more our worlds get, as Lewis Caroll put it, curiouser and curiouser.
You are allowed to change your mind. You don’t have to draw lines in the sand and dig in your heels."

Bonus Episode: Stronger Than Stress, with Barb Roose Aug 10, 2024

Show notes

If you’re exhausted, overwhelmed, or discouraged as you try to hold everything together, today is the start of a new day. . . and we have just the conversation you need to support your soul.

In this episode, Becky Keife and Barb Roose discuss the topic of stress and overwhelm through the lens of Barb's new book, Stronger Than Stress. They talk about the challenges of trying to hold everything together while feeling like they are falling apart. Barb shares her personal experience of battling overwhelm and the moment when she threw plates through her kitchen window. They discuss the importance of recognizing the signs of overwhelm and the need to surrender to God's power and peace. They also explore the concept of simplicity as a spiritual practice and the role of sisterhood in supporting and encouraging one another.
Takeaways

Stress and overwhelm can make us feel like we are constantly trying to hold everything together while falling apart.
Recognizing the signs of overwhelm and surrendering to God's power and peace is essential for finding rest and contentment.
Simplicity is about keeping the main thing the main thing and finding contentment in God alone.
Sisterhood is a spiritual practice that involves supporting and encouraging one another, especially during times of stress and overwhelm.

Barb Roose’s new book, Stronger Than Stress: 10 Spiritual Practices to Win the Battle of Overwhelm, offers you 10 godly spiritual practices for combating chronic stress, burnout, and overwhelm no matter what life throws at you. You’ll also learn the four main stress triggers, and how to break your stress cycle and win the battle of overwhelm as you learn how to convert your stress to godly strength and peace.

Show notes

"We were created to be in direct relationship with God. Just like lilacs were created for direct sunlight, we were created to be in direct relationship with God. Comforted by His presence. Fueled by His warmth. Growing closer and closer to Him every day. Boldly displaying abundant blooms as a living example of the goodness and power of Jesus."
