Welcome to the Be Encouraged! Podcast. I am your host, Jackie Brindle and you are listening to the Believe Series. This is a seven part series. Today is episode # 5 in the Believe Series. This episode is so special! I believe there is something beautiful about the start of something new, thinking about how things began, and dreaming up how the story will end. Recently, I've been doing a deep dive into my family tree — asking questions I wish I had asked my grandmother when she was still here. Things I didn't think mattered when I was 17… but now, at 40, I find myself longing to know where I came from and why it matters.But as I searched for the beginning of my story, it stirred something deeper in me — a curiosity about the beginning. Who wrote all of this? Who dreamed me up before I ever existed?Have you ever asked these questions before? Have you ever wrestled with God with things you don't understand that happened to us in life or in the Bible, too? This episode of the BE ENCOURAGED Podcast is personal. It's a reflection on identity, legacy, and the One who authored it all — God. From Genesis to today, He's been writing a story of redemption, new beginnings, and purpose… even in the messy parts.If you're in a new season — expected or not — I pray this reminds you: God is in the new. He's in the unknown. He's in the questions. And He's not afraid of your wrestle.Ask Him. Seek Him. I promise, He'll meet you there.
What does it mean to believe in the Son? In the second part of our “We Believe“ series, Mark draws on John 1 and the Nicene Creed to explore how the Son both reveals the father and renews our humanity.John 1:1-5,9-14,16-18
In this sermon, Abel begins the We Believe series by setting the context for why the Nicene Creed matters in our Christian faith, and how our shared beliefs unite us with the wider body of Christ. We begin with the teaching on God the Father, who is the source and sustainer of all things, who is all-sufficient and sovereign.Deuteronomy 6:4Genesis 1:1Luke 15:11–32Colossians 1:15-17Hebrews 1:3
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. Additionally, the founder of the Daughter's Conference, where she encourages women to embrace their God-given worth. Bethany carries a deep passion for reminding women of their value and identity in Christ, and she's here to speak life and truth over you today.You can find more details about Bethany and her ministry in the show notes!Also, if you love this episode, be sure to leave a review! I'd love to give you a shout-out in a future episode as a way of saying thank you for being part of this community.

What we believe, ultimately leads us to the actions we take, our values, and our choices. Our core beliefs are based on the foundational truths of the Bible which form the worldview by which we, as followers of Jesus, govern our lives. If our doctrine is based soundly upon Scripture, we can know we are walking in the path God designed for us. This series, We Believe, is intended to root and ground us as a faith community. It will instill these values into our hearts and minds as we minister to each other, pass our faith to the next generation, and reach out to the world around us!

On today's solo podcast episode, I am finishing out the podcast series based on my book, Lies Moms Believe (And How the Gospel Refutes Them) with a chat addressing the final 3 lies covered in the book, "The most important thing is my child's education", "Good moms do 'xyz'", and "You have to 'do' motherhood the way the culture tells you".

"You have to 'do' motherhood the way the culture tells you" ~The overemphasis (and sometimes excessive time) given to athletics and academics; why both are important, but neither is the most important aspect of childhood; what we should ultimately be giving our focus and attention to ~What Paul says about the benefits of athletics vs. the benefits of growing in godliness ~How Paul viewed his own high education ~The impact an overemphasis on athletics and academics is having on our churches specifically and on the nation at large ~The problem with looking to "experts" rather than to the Word of God ~The problem of the mommy wars ~What "good moms" actually do ~How damaging the expectations of others can be and how freeing God's Word is ~Living the life God has called us to, not the life He has called our sisters-in-Christ to ~Letting go of the "shoulds" and embracing what God has for you ~And more!

"My focus should be on rules and regulations." 29. "The 'experts' know better how to raise and educate my child than I do." ~The sad reality that legalistic, authoritarian, rules-focused parenting often leads to children who rebel and run away from God ~Why our goal as parents should be reaching the hearts of our children, not merely enforcing a bunch of rules ~The importance of heart transformation rather than behavior modification ~The importance of cultivating a warm, intimate, close, safe, comforting relationship with our children; how this as a foundation leads to our children being more receptive to our instructions and household rules ~The difference between sheltering your children and preparing them; why different seasons of your child's life requires different approaches - first sheltering, and then preparing ~Why our goal should not be to merely enforce a long list of rules, but to instead form our child's worldview around Scripture and its truth; helping our children grow in discernment for themselves as they get older ~How merely enforcing a long list of rules can lead to our raising whitewashed tombs ~Why merely listening to the "experts" is a mistake in your parenting ~The Ultimate Expert on your children, and how He knows them even better than we do, because He created them with the unique personality, learning style, and needs they have ~Why James 1:5 has to be our first step in acquiring the answers we need for any parenting question we could ever have ~And more!
