Our guest today, Jessica Thompson, author of the book, He Loved Them: Discovering Jesus' Heart for Seekers, Sinners, Doubters, and the Discouraged (and Other People Like Us) is here to talk more about the love Jesus had towards the people he interacted with in the Bible and how that love spills over to us today, even in our failures.

Today, I share some of my own discouragement when it comes to waiting on God.You know when things feel so clear, like you know exactly what God is asking you to do, but once things get started, it is nothing like what you expected? It can feel like God is literally making it as hard as possible for you to follow through and remain obedient to the plan. Like why can't we just make this easier...ok God? lolWaiting can feel like failing. It is hard, uncomfortable, confusing and generally is not what we had expected, but sometimes, waiting is part of His plan.Find Us:https://www.facebook.com/RedemptionUnveiledhttps://www.instagram.com/redemptionunveiled/http://www.tiktok.com/@redemptionunveiled

I like to call it The Potato Chip Effect. Yep, it's named after the potato chip. You might wonder what the heck I'm talking about...so let me explain myself. When we yearn for something, we finally get it and then we want just one more (like eating a bag of potato chips).

After so much progress and celebration, the rebuilding of the temple grinds to a halt. The people became discouraged and afraid of the mounting pressure around them. We take a closer look at how the fear of man can cause us to withdraw from the work of God and how to find courage for our times.

In this shortie episode, I'm responding to listener Ashley's feelings of frustration and discouragement: “Right now, I'm really fighting the mental battles of not being where I want to be in my health journey, and then struggling with the fact that I'm not where I used to be.

Why do we have a Christian culture of hiding? Hide our problems. Hide our insecurities. Hide our struggles. If I hide these things, I will look like a perfect Christian right?.....This is NOT where we want to be as Christians.Let's be the Christians who shift this dynamic. If we are in hiding, we will never be on the adventure that God created us for. Imagine hiding who you are for the next five years and then looking back only to wonder how your life became such a mess.God already knows your struggles. There is no such thing as a perfect Christian. Let's stop with trying to achieve the "Christian look" of life and actually live a true Christian life with faults, problems and mistakes. A life where we seek healing and God through the struggle.Find Us:https://www.facebook.com/RedemptionUnveiledhttps://www.instagram.com/redemptionunveiled/http://www.tiktok.com/@redemptionunveiled

Do you ever get discouraged, feel like your work has little value, and begin to doubt if God can use you in your current circumstances? You're not alone. We all waver between certainty and doubt at times. We want to walk in God's will, but when things don't turn out, it's easy to think we're on the wrong path and doubt our purpose.  In this episode, we explore how sometimes God's definition of success differs from ours and how He wants us to continue in His plan, even when we don't see the results we desire. Listen in and learn how to find meaning in your work, whether it looks like you thought it would or not.  Download the Essential Guide to Finding Meaning in Your Work here.       

At some point in life, we all face discouragement. Whether it's a heartbreaking doctor's report or an unexpected family crisis, life includes discouraging challenges. No matter how hard you try, at some point, you will be discouraged. In this message, we continue our series, "Running on Empty". We will look at a story where David was trapped in a cave and fighting for his life - nothing was going according to plan. As he awaited his uncertain future, we see his response to God's faithfulness in spite of his despair. No matter your situation or circumstance, you will be reminded the Lord is faithful!

Yahweh wants to use seasons of discouragement to build faith in His children.

"Take your positions; then stand still and watch the LORD's victory. Do not be afraid or discouraged. (NLT)" 2 Chronicles 20:17

In this episode I am joined by Dr Alexander Arguelles, linguist, world-renowned polyglot, and scholar of comparative religion. In this episode, Dr Arguelles recounts his unusual upbringing in counter-culture America, traces his academic career through institutions such as the Universities of Columbia and Chicago, and details his remarkable life as a scholar and teacher. Dr Arguelles illuminates the inner world of the polyglot, listing his dozens of ancient and modern languages and revealing his methods of study, his surprising daily routine, and how deep immersion in language families such as Germanic or Romantic, can unlock all related languages without the need for extensive study. Dr Arguelles also reflects on his own spiritual life, including his mystical conversion to Catholicism, the unravelling of his vocation as a Benedictine monk, his time in Buddhist meditation retreat, and the ways in which a life of study and language learning can be a profound spiritual path of meditation. … Video version: https://www.guruviking.com/podcast/ep199-path-of-the-polyglot-dr-alexander-arguelles

Over the past few weeks, I have been feeling overwhelmed, discouraged and heavy. All of these feelings are fine to have, but I felt God calling me to let some things go, set new boundaries and be obedient to Him in a new way. When things don't turn out how we expected them to, it's so easy to question if we are making the right decisions. Are we even hearing God right? Am I on the right path?A part that can be really challenging about living the life God is calling you to is that sometimes God will ask you to let some things go. Let go of habits and behaviors that we have developed over time because they will no longer serve us in our life because of where God is taking us.Find Us:https://www.facebook.com/RedemptionUnveiledhttps://www.instagram.com/redemptionunveiled/http://www.tiktok.com/@redemptionunveiled

This week Pastor Matt continues in our sermon series in 1 and 2 Thessalonians. He teaches out of 1 Thessalonians 3:1-5. Do we often communicate suffering as a part of the Christian life when we talk to people? The true Gospel says that to be a Christian is to suffer, and that when the Lord is our treasure, suffering is painful and joyful. 

LaSean speaks on starting a new venture and feeling there is no support.

Do you feel like God is asking you to do something that doesn't make sense...especially financially?I think we can get in this habit of hearing God call us to do something, but then we stop, look at our finances and dive into the logical part of our brains and say, "Nope, that doesn't make sense for me to do right."God doesn't need it to make sense to us. Nor is He going to wait for it to be a comfortable experience for us. Let's be the women who step and say yes to God, no matter our current situation!Find Us:https://www.facebook.com/RedemptionUnveiledhttps://www.instagram.com/redemptionunveiled/http://www.tiktok.com/@redemptionunveiled

April 5, 2023 – Message from Pastor Josh Bevan             Main Scripture Passage:  2 Corinthians 2:12-17 Topic: Discouragement  

Rachel Senior believes that your greatest business meetings are happening in your sleep. In today's episode of The Business of You, Rachel will inspire and educate us on the power of dreams - for personal, professional and spiritual growth. Rachel Senior is a Pastor, an Author, a Songwriter, An Entrepreneur, and a professional Dream Coach. She is the Founder of Business of Dreams and The Dream College. Having been a uniquely gifted dreamer from early childhood, Rachel Senior has come into full awareness, through a number of personal dream encounters and manifested dream interpretations, the power of the Dream to create wealth, to build businesses, to advance corporations, and to save lives! She now takes the charge to activate this power all over the land. Rachel has a Masters in Psychology and an Education Specialist Degree in Curriculum & Instruction. She is the Author of The Business of Dreams: 5 Ways to Maximize the Linear Relationship Between Your Purpose, Your Business and Economic Success, and Your Dreams. She also wrote Hidden Wealth: 4 Things you Did Not Know about the Interrelation Between Wealth and Dreams and  Dreamsmen- The Final Combat.  Take your gifts seriously Rachel's dreams have always been vivid. When she was younger, she felt embarrassed by her classmates' reactions.  Especially when she had a negative or ominous dream about them, she hesitated to inform them. But when dream after dream came true, she began to realize that telling them about her dreams could have helpful implications.  Rachel's dreams are an important reminder that even if something feels weird or socially awkward at first, our gifts are meant to be shared - and the right people will be grateful.  She recalls a time when she dreamt about a young woman she had gone to school with…a decade earlier. She saw the woman giving up on her aspirations of becoming a professional makeup artist, throwing away her makeup and supplies. Nervously, Rachel looked her up on social media. Abandoning her reservations, she messaged the woman. She called her immediately.  This woman had indeed been considering a career change. Depressed and frustrated, she wasn't seeing results from her business. Discouraged by her lack of success, her light was beginning to fade. That's when Rachel's gift changed everything. Rachel talked her off a ledge, convincing her that triumph was closer than she thought. After her call with Rachel, she landed important contracts for her business, became a celebrity makeup artist and gained serious influence in the beauty industry.  How to become a better dreamer Rachel takes her dreams seriously - and she wants to convince you to do the same. She is here to tell you that your dreams are a gift, given to you by a higher power. And that a higher power has big exciting plans for you.  After going on her own dream journey, Rachel takes this podcast as an opportunity to help you become a better dreamer. To begin receiving powerful and life-changing dreams, you must first respect, honor and commit to them.  There are few steps to becoming a better dreamer. First, she recommends treating your sleep like a meeting with God. Regardless of your spiritual beliefs, she encourages you to consider this a time of divine communion. Show up to your meeting with the divine with an open heart, casting aside the worries and cares from the previous day.  Rachel suggests that you keep a notebook and pen on your bedside table and be ready to take notes in the morning or whenever you wake up. When you commit consistently to recording your dreams, you're sure to start having more of them.  What do dreams mean for your business? While doing research, Rachel discovered that many entrepreneurs use their dreams to make big important decisions about their businesses - not just historically, but currently. Now, she coaches and hosts corporate seminars to teach Executive Leaders how to use their dream life to launch, expand and grow their businesses.  Using your dreams as a North Star, making intimidating decisions can feel effortless. If you're stuck on how to write your book, what course to launch this year or how to grow your company, it's time for you to get into alignment…in your sleep! Quotes “God absolutely speaks to me in my dreams.” “We've got to pay attention to our dreams.  We're asking all these questions, we don't know what our purpose is, and we have important decisions to make.”     “There was a time when I was like, I'm not telling anybody my dreams! But over time, I had to embrace that they are a gift I can utilize to help people. Even if the dream isn't so good, it can help them prepare so it won't be so bad.” “It was like God was saying, ‘Let me see how disciplined you're going to be with these dreams'! Once I showed that I'm going to write them down and study them, it became easier to remember when I woke up. I write them down, record them or make little notes. You've got to make a habit of remembering them. Dreams don't come through our conscious minds.” “I learned not to ignore my dreams. And in the process of me following my dreams, the downloads became instant. It was happening without me making an effort. I started writing my book. The courses started coming. Just because I said fine, I'll do it!” “What greater way to coach, than through God-given information.” Links mentioned in this episode: Learn more about Business of Dreams and The Dream College at www.businessofdreams.net  Connect with Rachel Senior on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/rachel-senior-66b619100/  Follow Rachel Senior on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/dreamcoachrachel/  Find Rachel on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100016230313576

Let us pray God would expedite this season of discouragement, and we would soon see Him do exceedingly abundantly more than we can think (Ephesians 3:20-21). - Christine Perry SUBSCRIBE to our sister podcasts: The Crosswalk Devotional: https://www.lifeaudio.com/crosswalk-devotional/Your Daily Bible Verse: https://www.lifeaudio.com/your-daily-bible-verse/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The more I walk with God, the more I realize that my ways are not His ways. My timing is not His timing.Accepting God's invitation isn't always a party. Or maybe God's definition of a party is different than mine. God likes the scenic route. He doesn't give us the most efficient or quick way to go about things He has asked us to do and it can be incredibly disappointing. The journey isn't what we expected, the destination was nothing like what we thought it would be.What I do know...God does have something wonderful for us when we accept His call on our life. We may not see it now and it may take way longer than we would have hoped, but He does have wonderful things for us when we follow His call on our life.Find Us:https://www.facebook.com/RedemptionUnveiledhttps://www.instagram.com/redemptionunveiled/http://www.tiktok.com/@redemptionunveiled

In this episode of "The Emotional Expedition with Meghan Thomas," Meghan discusses the emotions of discouragement, resignation, and frustration. She explains that discouragement and resignation are about losing motivation and confidence to continue making efforts, while frustration is the feeling of being prevented from achieving a desired outcome.  Meghan provides examples of times when she has felt these emotions in her life, such as while trying to conceive, being an entrepreneur, and in relationships. Meghan also shares research that shows social support and positive self-talk can help individuals cope with discouragement and reduce its negative effects on mental health. In addition, she suggests goal-setting and resilience as ways to prevent discouragement, and mindfulness as a way to manage negative emotions. The episode also highlights the positive side of frustration, as it can lead to increased creativity and problem-solving skills. Meghan gives examples such as Keith Jarrett's improvised concert and Brian Eno's use of oblique strategies to disrupt the creative process.

  TDAgiantslayer@gmail.com    Brought to you by wellbuiltbody.com    97X     PODBEAN   Apple Podcast    Discouragement    Prisoner Gary Stephen escaped from castle Huntly prison near Dundee Scotland back in 2006. He hadn't seen his 35 year old girlfriend Tracy Miller in more than 6 months… when he gets to her house he finds out she is 4 months pregnant… he was so despondent he called the police, turned himself in and wanted to go back to prison…. and the police showed up and took him back to jail. Talk disappointment… you risk your life, you risk more prison time, you escape at great peril… you are going to prove your love to your girlfriend….  Now that would be discouraging…    how you deal with discouragement will dictate a lot of how well you live your life and the quality of your life.      “Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand” (Isaiah 41:10).     So how does God strengthen you? So lets state the obvious  Read your bible - yes a definite no brainer, but I like to read it and where it says Jesus did this… I substitute my name- understanding that God called me to do above and beyond what he did.  Pray - again, a no brainer… but don't wait till things are bad… pray always. So when things get bad you don't feel guilty praying…. ok Seek counsel from pastors and friends… This also is a great idea and you have to have some time where you have invested into friends so that you have them to gain counsel from.  But here are my go to ways to defeat discouragement.. I have talked about my awesome jar in the past an idea I got from Tim Ferris and his book Tools of Titans book. If you are not familiar with it, you basically collect stories from your life where God showed up and did amazing things. I just write out these little stories on small note paper and fold it up and I have a big glass jar that I put them in. I have stories of checks showing up in my mailbox for thousands. Healings, God speaking through me to others, leading people to Christ. Praying over people who are healed from cancer. Watching God take my joblessness and giving me a fantastic job I never thought I would land… lots of stories. But it basically reminds me that I have had many down times, many discouraging times and God waded through my mess and drowned me in hope and joy.  So thats my first go to… my second go to is I have a few people that I can call and talk to any time who will give me joy, hope and fire breathing prayers. Typically just one phone call with one of those guys and I am ready to walk on hot coals, jump off a skyscraper and fly, I am ready to bet the house that Jesus is going to show up and meet me right where I need it most.  Plus these are the people who tell me their stories of discouragement and how God met them. You know misery loves company… especially the company that has been there, done that and had God show up.
