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.

Lucretia Berry: The Thing You've Got to Know When Your Motivation Is Waning Sep 13, 2023

Show notes

"Motivation may ebb and flow, but purpose remains constant. In a world that constantly preaches the gospel of motivation, I sometimes find myself seeking that fleeting feeling of enthusiasm and inspiration to propel me in my purpose. I look for external factors to ignite the fire within, to keep me going when the journey gets tough. For example, I often wonder if earning a lot more money would make me feel validated and stimulated. But God’s divine purpose calls me to a different standard — one that transcends the whims of emotion and taps into the wellspring of unwavering determination."

Becky Keife: How Eavesdropping Changed the Way I Live (the way we all should live) Sep 12, 2023

Show notes

"What would happen if we treated every “new kid” (young or old ) as wanted, welcomed, delighted in?
Sit with that for a minute.
Often, when we think of encouragement, we think of building up, complimenting, or supporting the people already intertwined in our lives -- our spouse or sibling, child or parent, coworker or best friend. That is so good and beautiful and necessary. But at its core, encouragement stems from the basic acknowledgment that every person deserves to be seen, valued, accepted. So it's not just the kind words we say, but the welcome that we live."

The God of All Comfort Remembers Our Pain Sep 11, 2023

Show notes

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort. He comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any kind of affliction, through the comfort we ourselves receive from God. For just as the sufferings of Christ overflow to us, so also through Christ our comfort overflows.
2 Corinthians 1:3-5 CSB
As we remember those we lost on this day twenty-two years ago, let's sit in these words from 2 Corinthians. The Father of mercies and the God of all comfort is with us. He has not forgotten our grief nor the pain that continues to linger from the aftermath of tragedy.
And as we are comforted by Him, may we offer the same tenderness to others today. Read + comment: https://incourage.me/?p=234962

Bonus Episode: A 30-Day Journey with Women of the Bible, with Shanna Noel and Sherri Gragg Sep 09, 2023

Show notes

Listen in to this conversation about the new book, From Where I Stand: A 30-Day Journey with Women of the Bible, written by two of our favorite writers, Sherri Gragg and Shanna Noel.
This book invites you to trace the footsteps of ordinary women who faced unique challenges, endured extraordinary circumstances, and encountered the living God.

They are the long-suffering, courageous, flawed, and faithful women of the Bible. In this 30-day guide featuring devotions, Scriptures, and reflection questions, you’ll experience what these women saw and how they felt, from the lushness of the Garden of Eden to the blistering sunshine illuminating Christ’s tomb. You’ll emerge with insights that can be gleaned from their failures, triumphs, patience, and perseverance. Most of all, you’ll learn about the character of God who gave them life, remembered them, and placed them with a purpose exactly where they were meant to be. Just as He has done for you.

We know you’ll simply love this book! Order your copy today . . . and leave a comment on the excerpt post earlier this week for a chance to WIN one of 5 copies: https://incourage.me/?p=234177

Grace P. Cho: When Following Our Creator Invites Us to Something More Sep 08, 2023

Show notes

"May we all pay attention to the shifts within us. Perhaps God is inviting us to something more or different or new, and whether we whisper it quietly to ourselves or say it out loud for all to hear, I hope we can respond with our whole hearts, 'Yes.'"

Jen Schmidt: When Your Heart Hurts Over an Adult Child Sep 07, 2023

Show notes

"Mommas, take a deep cleansing breath with me. Let's unclench our fists, raise our open hands, and release our adult children to Him -- our Abba Father, Healer, Rescuer, the One who takes this often topsy-turvy world and makes sense of it. Take Heart. He can and will do it!!
My prayer is that all of us will be able to proclaim, 'I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth' (3 John 1:4).
What a day of rejoicing that will be."

Becky Keife: You Don't Have to Love This in Order for It to Be Beautiful Sep 06, 2023

Show notes

"So often in life, goodness sprouts up from things we would never choose. Think back on your own life and the circumstances you would never choose . . . can you see the beauty? Can you see the goodness that came from that job you didn’t get or that relationship that started out on a rocky foot? Can you see the blessing that sprouted from that difficult diagnosis or cross-country move or brutal season in parenting?
We serve a God who is in the life-long business of turning ashes into beauty, weakness into strength, death into life!"

Walking with the Women of the Bible Sep 05, 2023

Show notes

"This is the love story of Scripture from beginning to end: a loving God gives life. Against all odds. Despite every mistake and in defiance of each regret...
Life wins.
And this is the love story of Scripture from beginning to end: a loving God gives life. The accuser attacks, bringing death. For a time, it seems all hope is gone.
But God always has the last word."

Holley Gerth: You Don’t Have to Be a Perfect “Good Girl” to Be Loved Sep 04, 2023

Show notes

"I’m already loved, and I am a force for good. Maybe you’ve tried to be a good girl like me, and you’re ready for something new. If so, Jesus wants to set your heart free from every lie that has held you back too.
Let’s believe we’re already loved.
Let’s stop trying to be 'good girls.'
Let’s be unstoppable forces for good."

Jennifer Dukes Lee: When You Have to Walk Through Hell on Your Way to Heaven Sep 01, 2023

Show notes

"As we suffer, Jesus is the One who steps in to comfort us. What god in the history of gods was willing to enter into the physical reality of the human experience? Our God alone.
Jesus willingly walked this earth, experiencing every pain, loss, betrayal, and heartbreak we feel.
As the late Tim Keller once said: 'Jesus Christ did not suffer so that you would not suffer. He suffered so that when you suffer, you’ll become more like him. The gospel does not promise you better life circumstances; it promises you a better life.'"
