The (in)courage Podcast

"We are not called to mold our lives into something impressive. We are called to yield to the Potter who is forming something eternal. God gives us dreams, and FOR SURE, we can chase those dreams with boldness and hope. We can do cool stuff with the clay God gives us. But make no mistake: We don't shape God into our image. He shapes us into His."Leave a comment for Jennifer: https://incourage.me/?p=252508--It's graduation season! Shower your grad with love and reminders of the plans God has for their future.

"We don't have to wait and wait and wait for the fear to go away. It would certainly be more comfortable to be fearless when it is time to move forward. But, true to life as a believer, choosing to do "it" afraid asks more of us. Jesus calls us to strength and courage despite fear — and He promises His presence in the process, because He knows this is a valuable avenue for experiencing joy and growth . . . in and through Him."Leave a comment for Crista: https://incourage.me/?p=252120--It's graduation season!

We all have an inner voice that tells us we're not worthy of love, especially God's love. Our flaws, fears, and mistakes fill us with guilt and shame. But Sarah Kroger's song and new devotional, Belovedness, is a reminder that it's the heart of God to pursue and embrace His people — no matter our history, because He has reconciled us to Himself! Sarah's book, Belovedness: Overcoming Your Inner Critic, is based on the lyrics of the song and includes devotions, selected Scriptures, prayers, and insights from Sarah that will walk you through the process of defeating your critical voice and accepting God's unfailing love.Silence your inner critic with the affirmation of God's deep, sincere love for you.Order your copy of Belovedness: Overcoming Your Inner Critic, and leave a comment on the featured excerpt shared earlier this week for a chance to WIN a copy: https://incourage.me/?p=252385The (in)courage podcast is brought to you by DaySpring.

"Taking heart is not a posture of self-help. It's the posture of humility. Indeed, it's the posture of prayer. Prayer is the acknowledgement that we're not running the show — God is.

There will always be someone one step ahead of us; even if we want to be where they already are, we need to run our own race as they pave the way. Encouragement is indeed a superpower.

What recharges you? Perhaps a walk outside, breathing fresh air, brings renewed focus. Sometimes adjusting your schedule from too many commitments can bring about more peace and less “frazzle.” Maybe a cup of chamomile tea and a crossword puzzle help you unwind after a stressful day. Listen to your body when it lets you know its battery is getting low.Be kind to yourself because God cares about you.Leave a comment: https://incourage.me/?p=252277--It's graduation season!

"If you're struggling to determine whether your parents deserve honor, remember that God's Kingdom doesn't operate on what people deserve. It operates on grace. Honor is a matter of the heart.

Dive into the newest devotional by Hannah Crews, A Confidence That Changes Everything! It's all about being able to walk into every room like Jesus sent you. Take a peek inside with this word from the introduction by Hannah:“I know what you might be thinking:Here we are again. Another Christian lady writing about confidence like she's got it all figured out. She's got no idea what I've been through or what it's like to be me!I hear you, my friend. And I'll be the first to admit that, 1) I don't have it all figured out; 2) I get how hard it is to feel confident when life repeatedly knocks you down; and 3) I understand how annoying it is to receive unsolicited advice from people who have never walked a day in your shoes.But girl, let me just tell you something: This confidence devotional is different!

"My friend, do you have an old dream you need to relinquish? You can trust Him with it. Ours is a God who takes the bones of dead dreams and puts new flesh on them, breathing new life into them (see Ezek. 37:1-14). He takes the mistakes and missteps and says, "Behold!

"Overcoming comparison buys us a one-way ticket to Confidence City, USA — with Jesus as the pilot! He flies us straight to destinations of contentment, joy, and gratefulness. He reveals to us that if His goodness is for her, it's for us too! When we love the Hannah L's in our life like Jesus does, we always remain on the winning team."Leave a comment for Hannah: https://incourage.me/?p=251979--Embrace the newness of Spring with DaySpring's Home & Hospitality Sale!

"Spiritual growth does not happen overnight. Becoming a mature disciple requires seasons of refinement, trials, and learning. Often, God allows difficulties to strengthen our faith and develop perseverance. While these seasons may be challenging and no one wants them, they are pivotal for our growth. Perseverance in our faith is hard but holy work."Leave a comment for Robin: https://incourage.me/?p=251894--Embrace the newness of Spring with DaySpring's Home & Hospitality Sale!

"It is Jesus' invitation to those of us who feel like the gifts we are blessed with have become a burden, slowly wearing us down. I love that Jesus sees us. He sees our limitations and honors our humanity. He doesn't scold us but draws us in close, like a friend. And He doesn't just offer us strength to keep going and keep doing more for Him. Like a good physical therapist, He invites us to retrain and renew our minds on our identity and purpose."Leave a comment for Simi: https://incourage.me/?p=251905--The spring issue of DaySpring's Everyday Faith magazine is here!

"Being rooted in His Word and remaining in His Spirit brings the redemption story to life. It sparks a rebirth and revival, which is what I'm seeking this season.

"These are your reminders to hold onto hope. Nature will show up as a steady reminder of a steady God. You will walk barefoot in the green grass; you will once again feel the sun warm upon your face. You will see peonies bloom and strawberries turn ripe. You will have fresh vision for where the Lord is calling you, and it will be personal, beautiful, and full-circle. You will feel life again, like jumping into a pool on a hot summer day. You will be refreshed and taken care of."Leave a comment for Margot + enter the giveaway: https://incourage.me/?p=251854--The spring issue of DaySpring's Everyday Faith magazine is here!

"For a long time, I thought church communities should be filled with people who looked and thought alike. But our differences are a gift. There is richness in different generations, cultures, and even denominational traditions.
