Podcasts about discouraged

A dead truck on the side of the road, a tractor tow in pouring rain, a heat press that will not climb past 260 degrees, and a fair deadline that does not care how tired you are. That is the reality we're sitting in today as we prep Loud Proud American for the Freiburg Fair and try to keep production moving when the plan falls apart.We walk you through the whole chain of events, from the first signs something is wrong with the Yukon to the hard truth that not every shop has the time or equipment to rescue you on your schedule. Along the way, we talk small business stress, event logistics, supply chain delays, and what it feels like when your to-do list becomes suffocating. If you've ever run a brand, worked a side hustle, or chased a goal with real financial pressure behind it, you'll recognize this kind of day.Then the focus shifts from problems to posture. A friend steps in with support and ideas, my family helps shoulder the load, and a message on the radio lands like it was written for this exact moment: don't be discouraged by the distance between you and your dreams. We dig into faith, resilience, and the practical mindset moves that turn “I can't” into “What's my next play,” while keeping the bigger why front and center.If this helped you breathe a little easier, subscribe, share it with someone who's grinding right now, and leave a review so more people can find the show.

  Isaiah 31:1 (NLT) – “What sorrow awaits those who look to Egypt for help, trusting in their horses, chariots, and charioteers, and depending on the strength of human armies instead of looking to the Lord, the Holy One of Israel.”   In this episode of Daily Devotions, Pastor David Sumrall challenges believers to evaluate where their ultimate trust lies when facing life's challenges. Drawing from Isaiah, he notes that while it is easy to rely on God when we have nothing, prosperity can subtly tempt us to depend on human armies, wealth, banks, or personal connections instead of our Heavenly Father.   Pastor Sumrall explains that our personal relationship with God is what makes every place we sow seed good ground, ensuring His blessing regardless of surrounding economic or social chaos. He encourages believers to put their complete dependence back on the Lord, knowing that He remains our sure foundation and provides a rich store of salvation, wisdom, and peace in every season. ---- Don't forget to like, subscribe to Cathedral of Praise TV https://www.youtube.com/c/cathedralofpraiseTV/?sub_confirmation=1,and hit the bell icon

Fr. Mike introduces us to the books of Ezra and Haggai, explaining the Israelites' return to the promised land. He also warns us against apathy and indifference in our relationship with God, as we see Israel display towards the temple. Today's readings are Ezra 1-2, Haggai 1-2, and Proverbs 20:1-3.

At the halfway point of our three-year "For All Generations" campaign, we pause to celebrate God’s faithfulness and the generosity of His people, recognize the tremendous progress already made in renewing our campus for ministry, and honestly evaluate the work still ahead. Like a team at halftime, we will celebrate the wins, look at the scoreboard, make needed adjustments, and prepare for the second half with renewed commitment and momentum. Together, we are challenged to remain faithful, recommit where necessary, and invite new participants to join us as we Invest, Renew, and Grow for All Generations and finish strong. As part of this message, we hear an encouraging perspective from Jeff Benefield with Injoy Stewardship Solutions, and hear testimonies from some members of our church.

Hello, friend. Thanks for joining me on The Encouraging Word Podcast. This week we explore depression through the story of Elijah, reminding us that even the strongest among us can experience seasons of deep discouragement. He reminds us that we don't have to walk through those seasons alone, and that seeking help can be an important part of the healing process. My hope is that this episode reminds you that God meets us with hope, compassion, and purpose—even in our darkest moments.

Anthony Gammage preaches on Zechariah 1:7-17 on Sunday, September 13, 2026.

Feeling discouraged can feel like a weight that pulls you under, but there's a refreshing perspective found in the depths of Psalm 42. Over the next couple of weeks we will open the Psalms for a heartfelt acknowledgment of those moments when faith feels distant.

Has anyone told you that feeling down means your faith is weak? Toxic positivity and hollow platitudes will never heal a heavy, discouraged soul. Shift away from superficial advice and immerse yourself in real scriptures for when you feel discouraged. This raw, restorative session leans into Bible verses for discouragement and despair that meet you right in the valley. Find immediate relief through a quiet Christian meditation for overwhelming discouragement, internalizing proven Bible verses to overcome feeling defeated and resting inside encouraging scriptures for a broken heart.✝️

Anthony Gammage preaches on Zechariah 1:1-6 on Sunday, September 6, 2026.

The psalmist who wrote Psalm 42 shares with us his ups and downs as he struggles through depression and discouragement. I dove into this psalm and found it to be so relatable and a guide on how to walk through a difficult time. Whether it's for you personally or someone you know, I pray we all feel seen, heard, and listen with hope.

Why is consistency so difficult in pornography recovery?You know what you should do.You've probably tried motivation, accountability, filters, Bible reading, avoiding triggers, and promising yourself that this time will be different.But then something happens.You get tired. Stressed. Lonely. Discouraged. Angry. Overwhelmed.And suddenly the strategy you were so confident about doesn't seem to work anymore.In this episode of the Secret Habit Podcast, Shawn Bonneteau explains why consistency in porn recovery isn't created by getting more motivated or hyped up.It starts with clarity.After years of coaching Christian men, Shawn has become convinced that many men aren't failing because they aren't working hard enough.They're trying to solve the wrong problem. The deeper question isn't simply: ‘How do I stop watching porn?' It's What's happening in my heart that may be contributing to this behavior?'Shawn uses Proverbs 4:23 to explore the connection between the heart and everything that flows from it, and explains how understanding your thoughts, emotions, formative experiences, and Heart Hunger can change the way you approach recovery.In this episode, you'll learn:Why motivation alone doesn't create lasting consistencyWhy men often try to solve the wrong problemHow clarity creates confidence and consistencyWhat Proverbs 4:23 teaches us about the heartHow your heart can reveal what's driving your behaviorWhy pornography can sometimes point to deeper patterns worth understandingHow your emotions and thoughts provide important recovery dataWhy understanding your Heart Hunger changes your strategyHow to stop "throwing mud against the wall" and hoping something worksWhy a clear strategy is more powerful than another burst of motivationThe goal isn't to become more disciplined at fighting pornography.It's to become clear enough to know what you're actually fighting, and strategic enough to know what to do about it.Because when you understand the real problem, you can finally build the right solution.Want to understand what's really driving your struggle?Take the free Secret Habit Clarity Quiz at:

Discouraged & Questioning God (Matthew 11:1-19) by Faith Family Church Oak Grove

Saturday is review day on The Daily Promise. Every Saturday, we review the promises of the week so we can allow them to go deep into our hearts and lives. Here are the promises we covered this week. James 4:6 – God's Grace is for the Humble. 1 Corinthians 15:58 – You Can Stand Firm in Your Faith. Psalm 9:10 – Knowing God Builds Your Faith. Philippians 4:8-9 – The Right Way to Think. 2 Corinthians 7:6 – God Comforts Me When I am Discouraged.

Today's Promise: 2 Corinthians 7:6 There are times in life when discouragement seems to settle in, and you wonder how you will keep going. But Scripture reminds us that even the Apostle Paul experienced exhaustion, fear, and discouragement. Yet God did not leave him there. He brought Titus into Paul's life at just the right time to encourage and strengthen him.   In this episode, we look at a powerful promise that God is still the God who comforts the discouraged. When you are struggling, you don't have to feel guilty or wonder if God is disappointed in you. He knows your weakness, and He is working behind the scenes on your behalf.   You may not see it yet, but God may already be preparing your "Titus." Someone to encourage you, strengthen you, and remind you that you are not alone.   God is working. Your Titus may be just around the corner.

Do you ever feel discouraged because you're trying to be faithful in your parenting, but you're not seeing the change you hoped to see? Are you weary of correcting the same behaviors, addressing the same heart issues, and wondering if anything you're doing is making a difference? Join Ginger Hubbard and Alex Cody as they discuss three spiritual disciplines that can help us turn our hearts back to God when we feel discouraged. *** For show notes and episode downloads, go to https://www.gingerhubbard.com/podcast/episode-292-hope-for-discouraged-parents *** Support this podcast:   https://www.gingerhubbard.com/support *** Sponsor for this episode:   CTC Math | ctcmath.com We Heart Nutrition | weheartnutrition.com, code GINGER REDEEM HealthShare

Text: 1 Kings chapters 17 - 19 Supplemental Text: The Fourth Thousand Years chapter 13 BYU Lecture 35:  At the peak of the apostate administration of king Ahab of Israel and his gentile wife Jezebel, there suddenly appeared at the royal palace in Samaria a man who dared to risk his very life by coming to deliver a cursing message to the king. This man was the prophet Elijah. Elijah comes suddenly on the pages of history but his background is obscure. We do know he had the keys of the Melchizedek Priesthood and the Sealing Powers. This included the power to seal the heavens against rain, which is what he did in the chambers of King Ahab. The Lord warned Elijah to hide from Ahab and Jezabel who had soldiers scouring the land to find and kill him. He hid in a desolate place relying on a small brook for water and ravens who brought him bread and meat. As the drought worsened, the brook failed and the Lord sent him to a widow in Zarephath. Here, she was preparing a last meal for her and her son before she died, when Elijah asked her for food. Remarkably, this humble widow gave him the last of her morsels. As a result, Elijah blessed her that her barrel of meal and cruise of oil would never empty until the rains came again. But soon her son tragically died and Elijah was permitted by God to raise him back to life. The Lord sends Elijah to meet with King Ahab and demand an assembly of 3 groups: 1) The leaders of Israel; 2) The priests of Baal; and 3) The priests of Ashtoreth (who ultimately never dared to show up). Here he held a contest at the alter to show whose God was truly God. The priests of Baal failed miserably, but the Lord brought fire from heaven and consumed the alter and destroyed all the priests of Baal. And the Lord sent rain. Rather than rejoice and reform, Jezebel was outraged at the death of the priests and put a bounty on the head of Elijah. Discouraged at the wickedness of the stubborn leaders, Ezekial flees clear down to Mt. Sinai. Here he felt rejected and a failure and asked to die. But the Lord visited Elijah and told him to return to Israel, for there were 7,000 righteous that needed leadership. Rejoicing, Elijah returns to the mission field in Israel.

“For this world is not our permanent home; we are looking forward to a home yet to come.” (Hebrews 13:14 NLT) I heard a story about an old missionary couple who had been serving in Africa for years and were returning home to retire. Their health was broken down, and they had no pension. As it turned out, the same steamer ship they were traveling on had a very well-known passenger, President Teddy Roosevelt, who was returning home from a hunting expedition. As the passengers disembarked, a crowd of admirers gathered around. They were all there to greet the president of the United States. A band was playing, and the cheers of the crowd were deafening. But when the missionary couple came ashore, there was no band playing for them. There was no applause. There was no one to welcome them—not a single soul to meet them. Discouraged, the husband buried his face in his hands and moaned, “God, I didn’t expect a band or a parade, but someone could have seen to it to welcome us home.” Hearing this, his wife looked at him and said, “Now, honey, we are not home yet.” One of the costs of following Christ is the challenge of living in a place that’s not our home. This creates an inescapable tension. We can’t ignore our earthly responsibilities. We must involve ourselves in many different aspects of life on this planet. At the same time, we can’t become too comfortable in our earthly environment. We must keep the prevailing attitudes and priorities of this world at arm’s length. And we must keep one eye trained on our forever home so that we never lose sight of our ultimate destination. God’s Word makes it clear that believers are not home yet, but one day we will be. The author of Hebrews wrote, “For this world is not our permanent home; we are looking forward to a home yet to come” (Hebrews 13:14 NLT). We have no say in the timing of our eventual homecoming. God will call us home according to His timetable. Our job, until that day, is to be faithful with the opportunities and resources He has given to us. There are some people who simply “go for it” as Christians. They take risks for God. They want to do great things for Him. They give it everything they have. Then there are others who want to serve the Lord, but in a more cautious, careful manner. Some people are setting the world on fire while others are still looking for a match. God has equipped us for our sojourn in this world. We must focus on being faithful to Him and using the gifts, opportunities, and resources He’s given us. This world may not be our home, but while we’re here, we can make a big difference in it. Reflection question: How do you deal with the challenge of living day to day in a place that isn’t your home?
