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.

Jen Schmidt: Maybe It's Time to Try Again Apr 24, 2024

Show notes

"There's a vast difference between being tethered to the Body of Christ vs. being someone who periodically visits a church building. Throughout Scripture, we witness the non-negotiable command to hold fast to the Bride of Christ and gather together for corporate worship. It doesn't specify a building, but affirms the necessity of consistent gatherings where we're nourished spiritually and offered shepherding care alongside accountability. I've lived through lonely seasons when that didn’t occur, but I’m encouraged and challenged now in the slow beauty of staying, of watching and waiting while the Lord brings life-changing regeneration to the lives of our members."

As certain as the sun rises, God will come to the rescue. Keep your eyes focused on Him! In the waiting, our faith grows stronger as we discover that God is present with us.

Kaitlyn Bouchillon: God Will Meet Us in the Muchness Apr 22, 2024

Show notes

"There’s no such thing as "too much" for God.
God knows the end from the beginning, and no matter what or how much our days hold, He will hold us. Nothing — no thing — will take Him by surprise. There’s no such thing as “too much” for God, and He will be faithful to meet us in the muchness of our days."

Bonus Episode: Kailani's Gift, with Dorina Lazo Gilmore-Young Apr 20, 2024

Show notes

Summary
In this episode, Becky Keife interviews Dorina Lazo Gilmore-Young, author of the children's book 'Kailani's Gift.' The book explores themes of perseverance, developing gifts, and the importance of community support. Dorina shares the story of Kailani, a young girl who wants to learn a traditional Filipino dance called the Tininkling. Despite facing challenges and setbacks, Kailani perseveres with the help of her family and eventually performs the dance at her grandparents' anniversary party. Their conversation also touches on the importance of trusting God's timing, embracing cultural roots in storytelling, and celebrating diversity in stories.
Takeaways

Perseverance is key in developing our gifts, even when we face challenges and setbacks.
God delights in the process of our growth and development, not just the final product.
The orientation of our hearts, focused on worshiping and honoring God, is more important than striving for perfection.
Trusting God's timing is essential, as He has plans that are higher than ours.

Michele Cushatt: For the Love of Learning Apr 19, 2024

Show notes

"How often do we choose today's comfort at the cost of tomorrow's growth? Comfort isn't always the haven we think it is. Sometimes it is a tomb.
A bulb that stays entombed too long in the ground eventually withers. So do we. When we start avoiding difficult circumstances, new adventures, challenging circumstances, and difficult people and conversations, we end up stunting the growth God desires for us. As a result, we miss out on our spring."

Holley Gerth: Help When Social Media Makes You Compare Apr 18, 2024

Show notes

"We serve a God who cares more about the quality of our faithfulness with what He’s given us than the quantity of our accomplishments. He isn’t asking us to do as much as we possibly can; He is asking us to say “yes” to what He asks us to do with what He’s entrusted to us. He isn’t looking for more people to have big platforms; He is searching for humble hearts willing to do little things with great love. God is not comparing us to anyone else, He is always and only inviting us to become more like Jesus."

Rachel Marie Kang: For When You’re Exhausted and Coffee Can't Take the Tired Away Apr 17, 2024

Show notes

"We are worn out. We are tapped. We are tired of and from watching the news and waiting for God to usher in salvation and solutions. We are holding our collective breath, barely awake and hardly aware of our need for rest — true rest.
In the quiet moments, when I sit in silence long enough to let the truth be loud, I can hear the holy whisper. And maybe you do, too?
I need Christ more than I need coffee."

Dorina Lazo Gilmore-Young: Gifts and Talents Need to Be Tended Over Time Apr 16, 2024

Show notes

"God grants us gifts and talents that need to be tended over time. Gifts and talents take time to bloom."
Dorina's new kid's book, Kailani's Gift, echoes this same message. Kailani needs to have the courage to try something new. Even though she doesn't master it right away, Kailani perseveres. The tinikling dance is challenging, but it is also rewarding when she can offer it as a gift to her grandparents.
We all might be clumsy with new things at first, but if we push through the awkwardness and have fun, we can bless others with what we have learned.

Dawn Camp: The Years Give as Much as They Take Apr 15, 2024

Show notes

"Time is a gift I shouldn't squander. The Lord wants us to learn from our experiences so we can teach and comfort others the way He has taught and consoled us over the years.
The next time you’re overwhelmed by your current circumstances, spend time with a woman who’s been there and can give you her long-range perspective.
And the next time you worry you’re getting older and are no longer able (or no longer have) to do the things you used to, appreciate the depth of your knowledge and experience and look for ways to share the things you’ve learned — and God’s grace and mercy — with others."

100 Days of Strength in Any Struggle: Honest Prayer, with Becky Keife, Kayla Craig, and Tasha Jun Apr 14, 2024

Show notes

Summary
In this episode, Becky Keife, Kayla Craig, and Tasha Jun discuss the theme of honest prayer from the (in)courage book '100 Days of Strength in Any Struggle.' They share their personal experiences of struggling and being desperate for God's strength, and how honest prayer has helped them in those moments. They also discuss barriers to honest prayer, such as doubt and feeling like prayers are too small or selfish. They highlight the importance of journaling and the power of short, honest prayers. The episode concludes with encouragement to open the door to honest prayer and a prayer for you, the listener.
Takeaways

Honest prayer is an ongoing conversation with God, where we share and receive, even when we don't have words.
God wants us to pour out our hearts to Him and be honest about our struggles and doubts.
Barriers to honest prayer include feeling like prayers are too small or selfish, doubting the effectiveness of prayer, and judging ourselves for our emotions.
Prayer doesn't have to be long or eloquent; short and honest prayers are powerful.
Opening the door to honest prayer allows us to experience God's presence, compassion, and love.
