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.

Karina Allen: Now Is the Time to Fight for Thankfulness Jul 01, 2024

Show notes

"It's easy for me to thank God and move on to the next thing. It's easy for me to just expect Him to meet my needs and forget to thank Him altogether. It's easy for thankfulness to have no impact on my life at all.
That's where the fight is. That's where we die to our flesh and let the Holy Spirit live through us. May we continue to learn the ways of gratitude so we can easily resist the ways of this world.
Thankfulness is where God meets us."

Emily T. Wierenga: What a Mental Health Drop-in Center Taught Me About Church Jun 28, 2024

Show notes

"May the light take over the dark. Some days it’s hard. Some days the addictions seem to be winning. But we just keep on singing "Amazing Grace" and holding each other’s hands and praying for the light to take over the dark.
And it always does."

Anna E. Rendell: Your Mess Doesn't Tell the Whole Story Jun 27, 2024

Show notes

"God sees the real us no matter the mess of our home, hair, health, or circumstances.
Jesus is the one to stretch out a hand. The one to meet us exactly where and as we are. The one who goes first with empathy and care and kindness. The one who makes us feel so confidently loved that we can shed our fears and boldly proclaim that love."

Mary Carver: When You Wonder If Your Pain Will Last Forever Jun 26, 2024

Show notes

"We don’t need platitudes for our pain; we need compassion. If you’re in a season that has gone on way past its expiration date, perhaps so long you’re tired of the word “season” altogether, I am here to sit with you and accept that this is hard. This is hard, and we don’t know what will come next. But we’re here together, and so is our Lord."

Faith, Love, Forgiveness Jun 25, 2024

Show notes

"How strong is your faith? Do you feel His love for you? Are you expressing His love to those around you? Are you forgiving yourself for the past? Are you accepting God’s mercy with an open heart?
One of the most wonderful things about God is . . . He doesn’t expect perfection. In fact, He knows it’s not possible. The two of us have not always gotten it right either. But it’s in those moments when we feel unsettled, like it’s all falling apart on us, that we have learned to turn to God. To have a heart-to-heart with Him. To ask Him to strengthen our faith, to fill us with His love, and to release us from the pain of unforgiveness. Maybe it’s time for you to have this type of honest conversation with your Creator."

Kayla Craig: Creating Belonging in Our Busy Lives Jun 24, 2024

Show notes

"Find comfort in the promise that the One who made you offers the most genuine kind of belonging. God knows us fully and completely. God genuinely enjoys being in our presence. Like being lost in a good book or an unexpectedly delightful conversation with friends, we can experience God's deep, abiding love anytime, anywhere. This sense of belonging, this feeling of being known and loved, is what I strive for in my human relationships, and this divine belonging is what I find solace in when those relationships sometimes fall a little short."

Kristen Strong: The Goodness of the Lord in the Land of the 50+ Living Jun 21, 2024

Show notes

"Giving people the benefit of the doubt gives life to all your relationships. Not giving the benefit of the doubt will strangle the life right out of them. While genuine relationship problems need to be addressed, being hard to offend will draw folks to you like a bee to honey."

Becky Keife: The Most Important Thing I Learned from My 84-year-old Neighbor Jun 20, 2024

Show notes

"We can let life’s hurdles and hardships be like arrows pointing us deeper to the heart of Jesus.
Imagine Jesus leaning in close and saying,
Yes, in all things my Father works for the good of those who love Him. (Romans 8:28)
Yes, daughters, do not grow weary or lose heart. I endured the cross so you can endure whatever you face. (Hebrews 12:1-3)
Yes, don’t give up! In me you will never be overcome or crushed. Affliction and persecution will come but in Me you’ll find unending joy and unconditional love. (2 Corinthians 4:7-18)
Jesus isn’t advocating for us to shove hard things under the rug or slap on a mask of false positivity. No, He’s offering us the truth:
When we rely on God all things really are possible – and our capacity for resiliency is just one example.
We can allow disappointment and bitterness to choke out our zest for life and trust in God. Or we can let life’s hurdles and hardships be like arrows pointing us deeper to the heart of Jesus."
