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.

Jami Nato: Weak, Wobbly, and Absolutely No Clue What I’m Doing Nov 01, 2023

Show notes

"Being weak feels like a bad thing, but goodness has it made me run to God and beg for His wisdom. Being weak has also helped me remember I belong with Him even when I don’t feel like I belong in my new environment.
I am weak, and He will be my strength! I feel so much lighter thinking of it this way. "

Faith, Hope, and Love for Your Messy Life (plus a chance to win the new Inspire Illustrating Bible!) Oct 31, 2023

Show notes

"God is with you in your real life today, offering faith, hope, and love to us all. If you’re like me – often feeling messy, disorganized, and a little chaotic -- let's remember that God never asked us to fit inside a neat and tidy "good Christian" box. He asks us instead to believe that we are His, to accept His love, and to go throughout our days leaning on Him.
This means that no matter how busy, harried, or difficult life gets, we can be filled to overflowing with faith, hope, and love. God has not given more of Himself to someone who is more put-together, organized, or well-spoken than you. No, God is with you in your real life today, offering faith, hope, and love to us all.
Go to Him today in the midst of your mess, He is waiting with open arms."

It’s so easy to get caught up in all of life’s “to-do’s” that, before we know it, we’re starting to come undone!

Jen Schmidt: I Ignored Her Phone Call Oct 27, 2023

Show notes

"To live like Jesus lived means getting out of our comfort zone and taking a risk. Guess what I told the teen girls? Sameness and security – that’s a total lie. (Yes, I’m blunt like that.) Because following Jesus means getting dirty, and taking a risk – things none of us would choose. Following Jesus means asking, inviting, and receiving outside our constructed holy huddle. Outside our preferred cabin. Following Jesus means hanging around with people who we've deemed aren’t our kind of people. Following Jesus means crossing boundaries and cultural divides — social, racial, political, and more — knowing this is the essence of the gospel."

Holley Gerth: For the One Who Is Trying to Hold On to Hope Oct 26, 2023

Show notes

"We can trust God with our hopes, with our fragile hearts, with our deepest hurts. I hope in a God whose character remains the same no matter what happens. I hope in the promise that I’m part of a purpose and plan bigger than I can see. Hoping in isn’t meant to be used as a spiritual cliché or holy Band-Aid. It’s not for the faint of heart. It’s an anchor, a foundation, a still place our souls can go while the hurricane of hurt swirls around us."

Mandy Thompson: For When Life Knocks You Down Oct 25, 2023

Show notes

"Might we see interruptions as invitations, believing that sometimes good comes with what we cannot change or control. I look back to when falling out of my car knocked me like a pinball paddle. I ask myself, What invitation came wrapped in this interruption? In what ways did my soul expand while my arm sat braced and immobile? My months of recovery held the answers. For one thing, I learned that nothing in life is a given — our plans can change in an instant. And, more importantly, I learned to receive help."

Melissa Horvath: Knowing Your Worth Oct 24, 2023

Show notes

"Our worth is found in Jesus! Practice giving yourself grace this week, especially when you start to feel rushed or overwhelmed by trying to live up to the expectations you set for yourself or others have set for you. Just take a moment to breathe, then ask God to show you the one next thing He wants you to do. You are a daughter of the King! You have no one to please. He loves you just the way He designed you to be, and He wants you to replace the worry and the striving with happiness and knowing He loves you no matter what!"

Jennifer Dukes Lee: You Can Start Over Oct 23, 2023

Show notes

"Starting over doesn't mean giving up; it means prioritizing what truly matters. There’s a lot of cultural resistance to starting over. The belief that you’re too old to begin again. That you’ll fall behind if you go back to square one. That you’re a “loser” if you throw in the towel.
It took me a long time to realize that starting over isn’t for losers. It’s for winners. Real winners know when to begin again. Real winners know when to walk away from something that isn’t working, and move toward a clean slate. Real winners aren’t afraid to start over in a new career, a new health program, a new relationship, or a new friend group.
Do you need permission to start over? Here's your permission slip."

Dorina Lazo Gilmore-Young: How Life’s Heat Points Us Heavenward Oct 20, 2023

Show notes

"It was also not lost on me that heat propelled the balloons upward. Just like the hot air balloons, it is so often the fire in life that becomes the catalyst for movement and causes us to look up.
In the Bible, Peter encourages believers to have endurance through suffering and trials. He reminds us not to be surprised by the heat and pressure.
In life, it’s not a question if we will encounter trials; it’s about when we encounter them.
Life’s challenges can cause us to sink or to soar."
