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.

Read our daily posts at incourage.me, and find us everywhere on social @incourage.

The (in)courage podcast is brought to you by DaySpring. For over 50 years, DaySpring has created quality cards, books, and gifts that help you live your faith. Find out more at DaySpring.com.

Anna E. Rendell: Strong Enough to Lean In Jan 18, 2024

Show notes

"Just as the best mother ever constantly thinks about and cares for her children, God does the same for us. He cares for us, and He’d like us to care for ourselves too. That care might look like a doctor’s appointment to check on that weird thing, or like drinking that glass of water, or going to bed early, or praying when you’re worried. It might also look like accepting help from a friend, admitting when things are a big deal and when we need to be taken care of.
Let’s be strong enough to lean in — to God and others — and let’s do what we need to do to take care of ourselves well."

Tasha Jun: What You Need to Know About Winter and Sadness Jan 17, 2024

Show notes

"May we winter as needed, knowing we do not do so without the nearness of Jesus. I’m reminded that though joy and pain can co-exist, and it almost feels trendy to say so, Jesus came into a world with layers of pain He did not fix overnight. He lived through it all in the same way we do now. Year after year He grew and navigated these tensions and oppression, pain and sadness. Jesus made room for winter seasons of the soul. In His sermon on the mount, in Matthew 5:1-12, He said that those of us who struggle, those who are sad – the ones who are living through dark winters and do not run from them – are blessed."

Jess Hall: Be Still . . . And Trust He Is There Jan 16, 2024

Show notes

"He was there. Even there. Always there. Listen…God is calling us.
Keep listening, for He is singing in the coldness of our discomfort. In the hardness of our struggles.
He is calling us to find Him.
He is calling us to love Him."

Robin Dance: A Stranger, Spilled Coffee, and Blessings in Disguise Jan 15, 2024

Show notes

"Often, blessing others simply requires prayer and intention. When you encounter someone whose delight is in the Lord, you know it. You’re drawn to their light like a moth to a flame. It’s not just because there’s something particularly wonderful about that person; it’s because you’re drawn to the Holy Spirit working in and through them.
The allure of an unbridled Holy Spirit in you is magnetic… undeniable… inescapable. Way too often I get in the way, talking myself out of whatever that divine prompting is nudging me to do. Do you know what I mean? So, what can we do to be bolder in our faith, bring glory to God, and bless those around us in the process?"

Simi John: We Need More Salt Jan 12, 2024

Show notes

"Let’s refuse to be salty, and choose instead to be the salt of the earth. Jesus came to invade our hearts and minds with the Truth and transform the world with the Good News. Jesus came to change everything. Just as the Father sent Jesus into the world, so Jesus sends us (John 17:18 NIV).
But many of us are like me with cooking -- overly cautious about putting salt into the pot, afraid of what might happen. So we just gather together with our Christian t-shirts instead of actually going into the world and bringing Jesus to those who need Him. Instead of being Jesus's world-changing salt, we have simply become salty -- angry, defensive, irritated, and overly sensitive. Too much salt in one dish is not desirable and will only leave a bad taste in someone’s mouth."

Karina Allen: New Year, Same God Jan 11, 2024

Show notes

"When the chaos of life surrounds us, God is the sure and steadfast anchor of our souls. Jesus is called Faithful and True according to Revelation 19:11. His faithfulness never depends on us or our circumstances. His faithfulness is attached to His character -- not ours. Oh, what beautiful news for us, His daughters. We don't have to strive for God to be faithful to us. We get to rest in who He loves being to us.
I am trusting in our good and faithful Father this year. He is the faithful One that can redeem any situation and mend all things broken. He restores our hope. How great is His faithfulness!"

Michele Cushatt: 4 Reminders to Cling to When You're Tired of Trying So Hard Jan 10, 2024

Show notes

"You can't self-help yourself to wholeness. I'm all for counseling, mentoring, reading books, and practicing new skills. But I must remember that although my efforts toward growth and maturity matter, God alone is the master gardener.
God the Father, the One who made you and claimed you, is the Master Builder overseeing the total renovation of your heart, mind, and soul. And what He started, He will finish, to a flourishing end."

Pour out Your Heart on the Page Jan 09, 2024

Show notes

"God wants our honest feelings. Our emotions and true thoughts aren’t too much. They aren’t a liability; they are a pathway to intimacy and true growth. The anxiety and worries that wake us in the night have a welcome place to go. The contents of our hearts do not have to stay inside and hidden. What would you say if you knew God’s ears and heart were wide, wide open?"

Kayla Craig: Instead of More Resolutions, Try Unforced Rhythms Jan 08, 2024

Show notes

"When we place our hope in ourselves, we’re bound to be worn out and disappointed when our striving doesn’t fill the void. As Jesus gathered the disciples, He didn’t tell them to list out their three goals and outline five actionable points to achieve them and then live a prosperous life.
Instead, He said the opposite: 'Get away with me. And I’ll show you unforced rhythms of grace.'
What if, instead of using resolutions as a measuring stick for meaning, we intentionally reflect on the rhythms we integrate into the real, messy, complicated, wonderful lives we’re living?"

Sandy Brister: For When You Keep Looking Back Where You No Longer Belong Jan 05, 2024

Show notes

"If you find yourself looking back where you no longer belong, call on Jesus Christ who brings hope and healing amid all your longing. We can only speculate as to the reasons why Lot’s wife defied the instructions to not look back. Some theological commentators agree she was looking back with a longing to return. In her willful disobedience, she gazed where she no longer belonged, and her life ended.
Like Lot’s wife, I no longer belong where I once lived. But, unlike Lot’s wife, I found belonging where the Lord brought me. Though I can't return to my childhood home, I’ve found belonging with the church family that loved me unconditionally during my childhood pain."
