395: Take God’s Word for It Nov 03, 2025

Show notes

Hello, friend. Thank you for joining me for another Encouraging Word.

It can be difficult to tune out the negative voices around us. It can be difficult to tune out the negative voices in our own heads! If you’ve been listening to the podcast for a while, you know we just did a bunch of episodes about that. But thankfully, God has given us his Word, just as he gave Joshua and the Israelites, to help us know and heed his voice.

394: God Fights for You Oct 27, 2025

Show notes

Hi, friend. I sure hope you’re doing well.

Last week I told a story about getting a gift from my dad. I have another story about my dad this week. You probably know by now that I love to tell stories about my dad. This story isn’t about getting a car. It’s about something he did for me when I was young that our Heavenly Father does for us now – he fights for us.

393: Yes, You Can Oct 20, 2025

Show notes

Hello, my friend. I hope you’re having a good day.

In our human reasoning, Joshua had every reason to be uncertain. No one would have bet on the Hebrew people to conquer Canaan. But Joshua had one big thing going for him – God told him he would be victorious.

392: Glory Days Oct 13, 2025

Show notes

Hello, friend. I hope you’re doing well. If you’ve been listening to the podcast the past few weeks, you know we just wrapped up a series about managing our thought lives. This week we’re starting a new series I think will encourage you as you uproot negative thinking and replace it with truth.

We’re going back to the Old Testament, to the story of Joshua and the children of Israel. You’ve never seen a group more stuck in a rut and trapped in destructive, negative thought patterns! But God had a Promised Land for them, and, friend, he has one for you too.

391: A New Way of Thinking Oct 06, 2025

Show notes

Hello, my friend. Thank you so much for joining me for another Encouraging Word.

Today we’re wrapping up our series on thought management. If you’ve missed any episodes, I encourage you to go back and catch up. But here’s the big idea, as found in Ephesians 4:23-24: “Let the Spirit change your way of thinking and make you into a new person.”

390: When You’re Dealing with a Difficult Person Sep 29, 2025

Show notes

Hi, friend. I hope you’re doing well today.

What do you do when those you live with are hard to live with? Maybe it’s your spouse, your siblings, your neighbors, your co-workers. We all have relationships that challenge us, and a difficult relationship can consume our thoughts. So let’s start there. To deal with a difficult person, consider how you think about them.

389: What to Do when Lust Lures You Sep 22, 2025

Show notes

Hi, friend. I hope you’re doing well.

A quick note before we get into today’s episode, particularly if you listen in the car or where younger ears can hear. This message includes the reading of a painful story in the Old Testament and some pretty blunt language about the dangers of pornography. Consider this a heads-up if you want to adjust when or where you listen.

388: When Your Heart Needs Peace Sep 15, 2025

Show notes

Hello, my friend. I hope you’re having a good day.

Anxiety. It’s an all-too-common part of our lives. The statistics, especially among young people, are staggering. I know there are legitimate concerns in our world that need attention. And I know there are times clinical intervention is the solution God provides to those who struggle. But I also know peace is possible.

387: When You Always Want More Than You Have Sep 08, 2025

Show notes

Hello, friend. I hope you’re having a good day.

Today’s episode is a bit of a history lesson. We’re going back to first century Rome, to the time of the apostle Paul and the emperor Nero. Readers of the New Testament have learned a lot from Paul, but the life of Nero offers a critical lesson as well.

386: When You Battle Guilt Sep 01, 2025

Show notes

Hi, friend. Thanks for joining me for another episode of the Encouraging Word Podcast.

If you’ve been listening to the podcast the past few weeks, you know we’re talking about finding a new way of living through better thinking. So maybe you’re ready to tackle some of those specific negative thought patterns that weigh us down. Guilt is a big one – all the should haves that hound us. But here’s the good news: God has given us a tool to help deal with our guilt.
