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! :)

AN UPLIFTING DEVOTIONAL ENCOURAGING READERS TO TAKE HOLD OF EACH DAY AND MAKE THE MOST OF EVERY MOMENT.None of us knows how long we have on this earth. We can't be sure how many tomorrows God hasplanned for us. But we do have today. What if we looked at today in a new light? What if we consid-ered today as a verb, an action that we can use right now?In Today Is a Verb: Open the Gift of Now in Every Ordinary Moment, author Carol McLeod asks usto grab hold of God's endless gift of time—past, present, and future—and make the most of everymoment and every minute. She calls for each of us to “roll up your sleeves and tackle the business ofliving a passionate lifestyle with no regrets,” because “there is no such thing as an unremarkable daywhen you know the Lord.” As Carol explains, each moment can be something profound, purposeful,and precious. We can choose each day to pray, to serve, to hope, to trust, to overcome—the possibil-ities are endless.“If you have been thirsty for a joy that is foreign to your personality and seems to be only a mirage inthe desert of life, I hope this scintillating philosophy will stir up what has been lacking in your life,”McLeod says. “Perhaps, with me, you would be brave enough to determine to take at least one vibrantstep toward the life for which you have been aching.”Today Is a Verb can be read as a thirty-day devotional or as a way to revolutionize your life. Eachchapter is based on a key word and includes a life quote, a verse from Scripture, a practical applica-tion, and a daily declaration.

In Entrusted to Lead, Pastor Donna Pisani draws on over four decades of experience to offer a biblical perspective of women in leadership that considers their role an entrusted assignment rather than just an entitled position.  Generations of confusion have kept women from answering God's call to lead, depriving God's kingdom of crucial gifts and abilities. Entrusted to Lead shows women what it looks like to lead with confidence in the workplace and in ministry—and why Jesus always wanted women to have a seat at the table.Listen in for another wonderful conversation with Carol McLeod!Connect with Donna and order her new book at https://www.donnapisani.org/ Connect with Carol at https://www.carolmcleodministries.com/ or email her at carolmcleod@carolmcleodministries.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/carolmcleodministriesInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/carolmcleodministriesYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQE6z9U5VR9tjoJB1NAsgMw

Carol McLeod welcomes a new friend to today's episode of the Significant Women Podcast! Johanna Janssen was born in southern Ontario among rolling vineyards, fragrant orchards and strawberry patches, where in winter, the sunlight glints off the snow. Before this, her parents left the shores of the Netherlands, boarded the S.S. Waterman with three young children for Halifax harbor, leaving family, friends and most of their belongings behind.Johanna, now a retired nurse, writes inspirational fiction that fights for joy in the dark pages of history. The passing down of faith, of core values, throughout the generations and how that looks through fiction, inspires her work, which is loosely based on her parents' journey through WW2 that eventually led them to Canada. The faith those early settlers took with them across the waters to the new land is what kept them. That same faith now inspires Johanna's writing.Connect with Johanna at https://johannajanssen.com/ Connect with Carol at https://www.carolmcleodministries.com/ or email her at carolmcleod@carolmcleodministries.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/carolmcleodministriesInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/carolmcleodministriesYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQE6z9U5VR9tjoJB1NAsgMw
