Podcasts about be encouraged

Welcome back to the BE ENCOURAGED! Podcast. We're halfway through the year, and maybe you're still holding tight to those big dreams you set out to pursue in January… or maybe life has caused them to take a back seat. You might be in what we call “the messy middle”—where the excitement of starting has faded and the finish line feels unclear. Maybe you're dreaming about that someday moment, unsure how all the pieces will come together.If that's you today, you're not alone. And you're in the right place.Our guest today is here to remind us that even in uncertain seasons, we can still choose to believe. Christina B., host of the Dream Lab Podcast, is passionate about helping dreamers like you and me take bold steps of faith—practical, prayerful steps—that bring what's inside our hearts out into the world.She'll encourage us to trust God with every part of the journey—especially the uncomfortable parts—and to surround ourselves with praying encouragers who remind us that slow progress is still progress. Even when it feels like we're moving at a snail's pace, God is at work.Christina also reminds us of something powerful: the gift of today. Being present in the moment is where peace and clarity often meet us. She encourages us to listen to our bodies, to honor the resting rhythms our soul, body, and mind need—so we don't burn out before the dream even gets off the ground.She challenges us to step outside our comfort zones—not to strive harder, but to depend more deeply on the One who calls us forward. As she puts it, God's the one who called us out of the boat in the first place.I'll leave you with this quote from 20th-century poet Lilias Trotter, who wrote:“Take the very hardest thing in your life—the place of difficulty, outward or inward—and expect God to triumph gloriously in that very spot. Just there—He can bring your soul into bloom.”Take a breath, settle in, and get ready to be encouraged.

Welcome to Season 2, Episode 3 of the BE ENCOURAGED! podcast — and let me tell you, this one is something special. Although there was a short break between episode 2 and now to episode 3, I appreciate the grace in getting this out to you later than usual. I assure you, though this will be worth the wait! Today, we're diving deep into the believe series. Believe, is not just as a thought, a feeling, or a hope — but as our guest speaker today puts it, it's an action. As a daily decision. As a powerful, faith-filled posture that shifts how we show up in the world. And to help us unpack this life-giving theme, we are honored — truly honored — to welcome the one and only Carol McLeod to the conversation.Carol is known and deeply loved by readers, television audiences, and other Christians across the country, especially women who have been uplifted by her raw honesty, biblical wisdom, and unshakable hope. She's the President and CEO of Carol McLeod Ministries, a powerhouse speaker at women's conferences and retreats, and the author of more than a dozen books. But more than her titles, it's her testimony that speaks the loudest.In this episode, Carol shares what it really looks like to believe — when the diagnosis is bad, when the healing hasn't come, when life feels like it's falling apart. She doesn't sugarcoat her journey. She talks about fighting cancer, battling through painful seasons, and waking up each day making the bold decision to believe that God is still good. That Jesus is still enough. And sometimes? That's the belief that gets us through.We're also excited to highlight the book, Today is a Verb: Open the Gift of Now in Every Ordinary Moment — because believing isn't just about someday; it's about today. Right here. Right now. In the middle of the ordinary, the laundry folding,l and unchecked to do lists, we're invited to live with expectancy, courage, and unwavering belief in who God is.So if you're struggling to hold on, or just need a fresh reminder that believing is the action that will get you through the hard places you might find yourself in — this episode is for you. Grab your cup of coffee, get on your walk or run, or wherever you are — Let's believe and be encouraged— together.Learn more about our guest speaker: website: https://www.carolmcleodministries.com/Follow host, Jackie Brindle on Instagram@be_encouraged_podcast Subscribe, follow, and write a review today! :)

Welcome back to Be Encouraged! In this episode, # 2 - Season 2, we're diving deep into what it means to build a strong foundation in Christ—one that holds us steady no matter what life brings. We'll explore how encouragement strengthens our faith, reminding us that God is for us, that we are His daughters, and that being rooted in Him leads to a flourishing life.We're also unpacking the power of mentorship and discipleship, the real struggle of surrendering control, and how faith stirs up strength when storms arise. Letting go of our own desires can feel daunting, but when we surrender, we give God permission to move in ways beyond our understanding.And today, we have a very special guest—Bethany Marshall! Bethany ministers to the youth alongside her husband, Micah Marshall, who is the founder of Refuge Youth Network. Bethany is also an author, and a key leader in PennDel's Women's Ministry Dream Team.

Join us as we dive into 2 Corinthians 6:1 - 7:1 with a message titled "Elements of an Effective Minister." In this passage, the Apostle Paul lays out key characteristics of a faithful servant of Christ—qualities that flow from a deep, personal relationship with God. What makes a minister truly effective? Is it knowledge, determination, or the ability to sacrifice? While these traits matter, Paul emphasizes that the foundation of effectiveness in ministry is a genuine partnership with God. We're called to work with Him, not just for Him. In this message, we'll explore nine key elements of an effective minister, including: ✅ Living with urgency ✅ Walking in integrity ✅ Developing endurance ✅ Bearing spiritual fruit ✅ Being resilient in trials ✅ Living transparently ✅ Remaining uncompromised by the world ✅ Pursuing holiness Paul reminds us that "Now is the favorable time, now is the day of salvation." As ambassadors of Christ, we have been entrusted with the ministry and message of reconciliation. Let's press in, remain faithful, and embrace the privilege of working alongside God to bring His love to the world!

Trending with Timmerie just delivered some fantastic updates on the gender debate: and there’s hope on the horizon! Timmerie is buzzing about how the conversation around gender is shifting across the U.S., even in places like California (yes, California!). Parents’ rights, teachers’ freedoms, and the truth about our God-given identity as male and female are gaining traction. The Big Deal in California: Mirabelli v. Olson There’s a HUGE court case brewing in California that could change the game for everyone. Mirabelli v. Olson challenges policies that force teachers to keep parents in the dark if their child is struggling with gender dysphoria or questioning their identity. Yes, this is a thing: teachers are actually being told to lie to parents. BUT here’s the good news: District Court Judge Roger Benitez (a total rockstar) is standing up for parents’ rights. He’s made it crystal clear that teachers don’t have to follow these deceitful policies. Judge Benitez even said that parents have a constitutional right to know what’s going on with their child because they are the primary caretakers. He called out these policies as a violation of the First Amendment. Why This Matters This isn’t just a win for California. If this case makes waves, it could influence similar situations across the country. It’s part of a growing movement that’s challenging the idea that kids have more privacy rights than parents, especially when it comes to life-altering decisions like gender identity. What’s the Catholic Take? We know the truth of male and female as created by God (Genesis 1:27). Timmerie is encouraging us not to back down or shy away from sharing the truth about gender. It’s about lovingly helping kids embrace their God-given identity, while holding schools accountable to respect parental authority and behave lawfully. Other Encouraging Signs Timmerie also mentioned similar movements happening in Ohio and other states. It’s clear: people are waking up to the reality that this whole gender ideology experiment isn’t working. Families are uniting, laws are being challenged, and truth is making a comeback. Be Encouraged! Speak Truth! Timmerie gave you a call to action: Don’t be afraid to speak the truth about gender, even if it feels like you’re the only one. Guess what? You’re not. There are so many people (even in unlikely places) who agree with the beauty and truth of male and female but just aren’t vocal yet. You could make the difference! Final Thought: Stay hopeful, stay prayerful, and keep fighting for the truth. This is a battle worth fighting: not just for our kids, but for the future of a culture rooted in God’s design. “The truth will set you free.” —John 8:32 Let’s keep the momentum going.

Wow, what a year it's been!

Do you know someone who needs an attitude check? Are you nodding your head yes? Great! But first, let's check our own attitudes at the door. This is something God has been showing me throughout my day and life, when my attitude is negative or focused on complaining. He showed me through a few instances, that when I have a bad attitude or let other's bad attitudes affect me, I miss opportunities to be a blessing! Think about it, if we are to serve others with a good attitude and to do good works like Ephesians 6 tells us, then how can I do that effectively if I have a sour attitude towards what I am in the position of doing? I have to ask myself, "What can I do today to help me remove barriers that keep me out of the pit of my bad attitude and shake off others that pull me down with them? The old saying goes, "My response is my responsibility". This saying was something that shook my core and changed my attitude, during one of the times, I should have been helping the one that I loved, but instead focused on me. Then, I realized my stinking attitude had seeped into that conversation and the work I was doing. The one small step of giving myself a heart and attitude check with God was humbling and just what was needed. Turning to the Lord, changed everything! Perhaps, you have struggled like me with a bad attitude when helping others and need an encouraging word to know you are seen, appreciated, and loved!

Welcome back to the BE ENCOURAGED! Podcast, you are listening to episode 135 “Raising Up the Next Generation, Part TWO: “Be the Difference in Gen Alpha's/Gen Z's Life and Allow them to be the Difference in Yours.”  If you did not listen to Lauren Gaine's episode with Part 1, I encourage you to go back and listen. These two episodes pair well together to give everyone the encouragement to be the difference in the generation you are raising up in your home, teaching, mentoring, and interacting with. Specifically, I think you will also find that by the end of this episode with our lovely guest speaker and expert, Kim Nolan, you will find yourself curious to see how Gen Z and Gen Alpha can offer more to our lives than we realize! 

Welcome to the BE ENCOURAGED! Podcast! I am your host, Jackie Brindle!  This is episode 134.  To recap, the last two episodes were an encouragement to the seeds we set for our children will impact the next generation, whether that's in modeling behaviors, owning our own faith, or through the prayers we say with them and on behalf of our children/or the children you are taking care of.  For most of us, we are in a season of a new school year, which means new phases in parenting and teaching the next generation.  My prayer is that we raise up the next generation to not only be resilient but also to flourish! As a parent, teacher, aunt, and being a part of a community, I want to know how can I be a part of this movement? What can I do to help support and foster an environment that develops emotionally healthy and strong children in a world where discerning the truth and connecting with the next generation is needed now, more than ever. That's why the next two episodes are titled — Raising Up the Next Generation (to be Unshakeable, Resilent, and Flourishing). You will listen in to incredible conversations from women who have specialized backgrounds and credentials in the world of psychology and research around this topic! You are in for a treat!  SO let's first, Meet Lauren Gaines: a devoted mother, loving wife, and the insightful author of "Unshakeable Kids: Three Keys to Raising Spiritually Strong and Emotionally Healthy Children". With a degree in child psychology, Lauren combines her academic expertise with her passion for nurturing families. She empowers parents and children to communicate effectively, establish structured routines, and find restful rhythms amidst life's busyness. By integrating cognitive behavior therapy principles with biblical wisdom, she demonstrates how renewing our minds can transform our actions. Through practical advice, inspiring stories, and scripture-based guidance, Lauren helps parents build an unshakeable foundation at every stage of parenting. Join the conversation and feel refreshed and excited about raising incredible kids!

It will have you on the edge of your seat and also asking yourself some questions within! This episode challenges me to consider the generational impact I want to leave behind for my children and for those around me. Also, it encourages me to reflect on where my faith was stirred up and I sought the Lord for myself. Who were the ones who made a generational impact on me, by sewing seeds of faith into my life? What do I need to take out of my life so I can listen to the Lord and hear Him? .....Take out the Pride? Selfishness? Do I need to slow down and Be Still? Should I get up before the kids for a quiet house? Pause and look around? I hope you consider and reflect on that, as well as, and the power and Might of God, which you will hear more about in this episode! It's incredible when we turn our hearts to God and are obedient to what God is calling us to do and strengthening us to press through! Psalm 38:4 says, "Taste and see the Lord is good, blessed are the ones who take refuge in Him." Let this verse be the anchoring theme of this episode and of our faith walk.

Part 1 Romans 7:1-3 7/7/24 Intro: This morning, I would like to examine some of what happened at the cross of Christ 2,000 years ago. Paul established that at the cross, Christ died in our place, the death that we deserve as a penalty for our sins. That includes enduring the full wrath of God, which we deserve. So, it is rightly said that Christ died for our sins. Three days later, on a Sunday morning, Christ was resurrected in the power of the Holy Spirit to new life. In Romans 6, Paul used baptism to illustrate what ought to happen in the life of a believer the moment we repent and trust Christ as our personal Lord and Savior. We identify with Christ in His death and resurrection in that He died for our sins, and we die to our sin. Then, we are raised in the new life of Christ, free to lovingly obey Him. Paul wants to explain the relationship of a born-again Christian to the law now that they have been born again. Likewise, he intends to describe the relationship of a new believer to Christ.

Hello! Welcome to the Be Encouraged Podcast! You are listening to episode # 129 and I am your host, Jackie Brindle.  I am so thankful you decided to press play today! If this is your first time listening, I want you to know that you are so loved and welcomed here in our BE ENCOURAGED! Community. I hope you find that these messages, themes, testimonies, and/or pondering points in each episode become a beacon of light in the good and not-so-good parts of your day.  We all face life —- it can feel easy one moment and hard the next.  And as I muddle through the messy parts of life, like the rest of us, I need not only encouragement but to hear faith-based perspectives, truth, and grace that will spark everlasting encouragement. So if faith is a big thing for you or perhaps you are just opening up to it, I have no doubt it will speak to your heart today!  Especially because I have a very special women's author (called, “Prophetic Encouragement for God's Daughters”), podcast host of “Unencumbered”, and keynote speaker, as our guest on today's episode, Heidi McPherson-Krieghauser. Heidi has faced a heart-wrenching tragedy in her life by becoming a widow not just once but twice. She has every right to sit in bitterness and anger with God.  Yet, she chooses to have the courage to rise above it! Heidi has learned that “When all else fails, God doesn't”.  Today's encouragement is for you, for your sister, for your friend, for your mom, for your neighbor, for your coworker, or for anyone else that pops up in your mind. We never are promised tomorrow, but we do get to be encouraged by God through Heidi's story and inspiration, today.  I don't think it's an accident that you pressed play today!  So come on in and grab your cup of coffee, get on your walk or run, and wherever you are…..

This episode is for the one who is questioning that they have lost their salvation, that God hates them, and that God no longer wants anything to do with them... I assure you, this is not the case!
