As the iconic movie line reminds us, “Life is like a box of chocolates; you never know what you're gonna get.” And sometimes, what you get isn't what you hoped for, but that doesn't mean the story ends there. In today's episode, “The Result Wasn't What I Wanted: But, I'm Not Discouraged,” host Jacquette dives into the power of embracing disappointment, not as defeat, but as a stepping stone. She invites listeners to honor their feelings, recognizing disappointment as a natural, fleeting emotion that can offer valuable insight. With a simple shift in perspective, we can turn setbacks into fuel, keep discouragement at bay, and tap into the wisdom that every moment, sweet or bittersweet, has to offer.www.jacquettetimmons.comwww.jacquettetimmons.com/digital-productswww.instagram.com/jacquettemtimmonsBuyMeACoffee.com/JacquetteSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this powerful episode of The Built Different Podcast, recorded backstage at the Refuel Conference at Thomas Road Baptist Church, Dr. Zach Clinton and cohost Joshua Broome sit down with Pastor Gary Hamrick — Senior Pastor of Cornerstone Chapel in Leesburg, Virginia. Gary has faithfully led Cornerstone from a small group of believers to a thriving congregation of thousands. His ministry sits at a unique cultural crossroads, just outside Washington, D.C., giving him a front-row seat to the intersection of faith, culture, and government. Over the years, Gary has become a trusted voice on religious liberty, biblical truth, and courageous leadership in a rapidly shifting cultural landscape. In this conversation, Gary shares his heart for revival and renewal, unpacking why gatherings like Refuel are vital for weary ministry leaders. He offers insight into what he’s seeing in the flock — from mental health struggles and spiritual discouragement to growing cultural hostility toward Christianity — and provides deeply biblical encouragement for overcoming discouragement in ministry through Psalm 42. His voice is both a pastoral encouragement and a prophetic challenge for the Church to rise with courage and conviction in this cultural moment.

Here's the thing. Being discouraged is real. But leading out of it is your job. You're not always going to be on fire, but you are responsible for the temperature in the room. If your team has to carry their workload and your emotional baggage, they’ll burn out before you bounce back.

Hebrews 12:5What do you do when you lose heart? We've all been there. You're so discouraged you just want to give up. One of the best cures for discouragement is a good laugh.

Sin brings us low. It's something not to be messed with. The joy of sin is that it doesn't have to control us, and it can be forgiven by our Savior, Jesus Christ. IF you feel like you are in a spot that is a spot you cannot get out of. Think again. Psalm 51 has amazing answers for you.

Sermon Recap – Fire in My Bones (Jeremiah 20:1–18)Jeremiah was beaten, mocked, and locked up for speaking God's truth. Discouraged, he wanted to quit—but God's Word burned in his heart like fire in his bones, and he could not stay silent. This reminds us that our worth isn't in titles, positions, or the approval of people, but in being servants of Christ.Just as Babylon's invasions fulfilled Jeremiah's prophecies, God's Word always proves true. False prophets may promise comfort, but only God defines destiny. Like Jeremiah, we may wrestle with despair and joy, but God still calls us to be faithful where He's placed us.Takeaway: Even in discouragement, remember Whose you are. Don't let fear, opposition, or titles silence God's message. Stay soft in the Potter's hands, let His Word shape you, and let the fire of His truth overflow from your life—for His glory.

Gary addresses the current lack of call to order coming from American pulpits. Too often, pastors think preaching book by book through the Bible is the "right" way to preach and not to be distracted by the events of the day. However, his often leaves congregants unable to deal with what is happening now and unaware of how the Bible relates to current events.
