This is a podcast meant to encourage you in your faith and remind you of the goodness, faithfulness, and love of God. My prayer is that in the small little moments you will find hope in God and encouragement for you week.
Our faith is more about who it is in than how big it is. It can be so easy to feel like if only I had more faith or bigger faith then things would be different. But often it isn't about the size of our faith but what our faith is truly resting. So what is your faith rested in?? Matthew 17:14-21
God is the only one who can satisfy your heart. It's easy to try and satisfy the needs of our heart with things in the world but they will leave us needing more and feeling empty. God is what our heart is longing for. John 6:35
God knows. He knows your heart and your needs. It's easy to think we know or have an idea of what God is doing or thinking but we aren't God. And often we limit God to what we understand and know. Matthew 9:18-26 Ephesians 3:20
We were created to worship and our hearts will find something to worship. God is the only one worthy of and able to handle our worship. The weight of worship on a person can take a toll and can cause wounds that aren't intended. Psalm 95 Colossians 3:5 Psalm 149:23-24 https://subspla.sh/tbfmnsq
Do you give all the credit for what you have? Every good and perfect gift comes from above. But do we remember that? Remembering God's provision and giving him credit for everything is an important habit to get into and it will greatly affect your life. Jeremiah 17:5-6 Psalm 34:1-6
Would you live differently if you really trusted God? Trusting in God allows us to live a life filled with hope. He has promises we can cling to and he is worthy of our trust! Jeremiah 17:7-8
It's easy to feel like the season we are in are pointless or not going to bring us where we want to be. But following God and his plan will always bring us to where we need to be. He is good and faithful in every season and he can use every season no matter how dark it looks for His glory and our good. Genesis 37-50, 50:15-21
Be still before the Lord. We fight stillness a lot. We fill our days and time up so full so we don't have to be still, we don't have to address our fears or thoughts or pain. Finding stillness before the Lord is the safest place we can be. He meets our needs and silences our fears. We can trust him. Psalm 46:10
The Lord wants to give us life and give it in abundance. He desires to be in relationship with us and experience Him. God is love and in order for us to know him our hearts must be changed. He love us enough to give us hearts of flesh. https://youtu.be/SDeCWW_Bnyw Ezekiel 36:26

Lamenting doesn't ask you to feel less or diminish the pain. Lamenting is the addition of hope amid the pain and the circumstances. Hope that will not disappoint as it is laid in the God whose love endures forever. Psalm 13 1 Thessalonians 4:13 Ephesians 3:14-21 Dare to Hope in God: How to Lament Well | Desiring God
Waiting is so hard. It's easy to get distracted, lose heart, & give up. But God is faithful in our waiting, in all our struggles while we wait he doesn't change. We can cling to his truth and hope in who he is. Genesis 18:11-15 Hebrews 13:5 Lamentations 3:22-25
Doubt literally means to divide us in two. God is loving and faithful even in our doubts. We can trust him with them and trust him to help us when we call.

Life is exhausting, overwhelming and so hard to bear sometimes. But God, in His love for us, carries us and bears with us each and every day.

Trust can be so hard and may feel at times like it is blind. But we don't trust in God with out reason or cause. We trust in God because of his character. We can trust him because of who he is. Genesis 12:1-4 Jeremiah 17:7-8 https://subspla.sh/b6b9k7y
