Podcasts about discouragement

After another week of being beaten down by more medical setbacks, I slumped onto the sofa. I didn’t want to think about anything. I didn’t want to talk to anybody. I couldn’t even pray. Discouragement and doubt weighed me down as I turned on the television. I began watching a commercial showing a little girl talking to her younger brother. “You’re a champion,” she said. As she continued affirming him, his grin grew. So did mine. God’s people have always struggled with discouragement and doubt. Quoting Psalm 95, which affirms that God’s voice can be heard through the Holy Spirit, the writer of Hebrews warned believers in Jesus to avoid the mistakes made by the Israelites while wandering in the wilderness (Hebrews 3:7–11). “See to it, brothers and sisters, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God,” he wrote. “But encourage each other daily” (vv. 12–13). With our lifeline of hope secured in Christ, we can experience the power-packed fuel we need to persevere: mutual encouragement within the fellowship of believers (v. 13). When one believer doubts, other believers can offer affirmation and accountability. As God strengthens us, His people, we can offer the power of mutual encouragement to one another.

Don't seek happiness in the present – instead, find joy in what is eternal.

As we wrap up Pastor Harris's fourth and final message on Discouragement.  Let's step back a few episodes to episode one where Pastor Harris defined discouragement and explained this with some of his own personal examples.  In the second episode on discouragement, Pastor Harris discussed Its many causes and ways that Christians can combat these feelings. In the third episode, Pastor Harris discussed three “don'ts”, or three things we should avoid doing to rise above discouragement.  In this final episode on the topic of discouragement, Pastor Harris will use the story of Joshua to paint a picture of the curse that discouragement can be and the parallels that can be found between the curse of sin. 

No matter what comes against you, God is here to help you overcome. Be encouraged by His Word today!

In our walk with the Lord, we can be tempted to take pride in what we see as "our own accomplishements." We may not realize it or admit it, but it is easy to sucumb to. We can also give into discouragement when we believe ourselves to not be living up to our own standards (or the standards of others).

Dr. Brian Albert wrote a doctoral dissertation on the suffering and depression of "The Prince of Preachers," Charles Spurgeon. During his time with Rooted at the 2022 Conference in Kansas City, Dr. Albert was kind enough to join Davis for a podcast in which he shares his insights with youth workers! Davis and Dr. Albert speak of the common struggles which may lead youth workers to experience discouragement and/or depression and tease out wisdom-principles for discerning times to faithfully endure vs. times to pursue respite. The episode ends with gospel hope for youth workers who experience discouragement and/or depression. Additional ResourcesLearn more about Dr. Albert's ministry by visiting https://www.calvarybaptistlenexa.com"Refreshment for the Youth Minister who feels Unwanted, Unloved or Unapproved" by Davis Lacey: https://rootedministry.com/refreshment-for-the-youth-minister-who-feels-unwanted-unloved-or-unapproved/Rooted Resourced for the Tired Youth Minister: https://rootedministry.com/rooted-resources-for-the-tired-youth-minister/

the Bible says much regarding how we think and what we allow in our mind. Based on what we spend time thinking about and dwelling on, will determine our direction. Suicide is never the answer to any problem. Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ is the answer to every problem. The Lord Jesus has equipped us with the Holy Spirit and the Holy Scriptures to enable victory in our heart and mind. Don't take people for granted, and do take time to listen to others as you lead them through the Word of God to become established in their mind and life. Discouragement, Despair and Dark times are very real, yet so is the Light of the Lord Jesus! Don't let devil, the world or your flesh keep your mind in captivity!

As you all know we recently kicked off a series on Discouragement.  This episode will mark the second of four on this topic that Pastor Harris will deliver.  In the last episode Pastor Harris defined discouragement using its most basic definition of “losing heart” or “to lose heart”.  In this episode Pastor Harris will address some of the causes of discouragement, specifically some that caused him to lose heart. He'll will walk us through how we as Christians can combat these feelings of discouragement, specifically how we can deal with some of those deep rooted life experiences, and experiences from our past.

Are you facing a mountainous trial today? The Lord is leading you to a higher path on the other side of that hardship.

Fr. Bryan Kassa - “Discouragement is Satan's Favorite Tool” 3rd Sunday of the Church 2022 by Chaldean Diocese

Discouragement is always trying to convince you that God is against you. Pastor Tim Roseberry continues our "Blindspot" series with how discouragement can pull us away from God's love!

We all get discouraged at times, but sometimes circumstances seem to mount and we become overwhelmed. Many are struggling with depression, even young children. But there is hope! In this episode of The Verdict, Pastor John Munro explores the biblical answer to Discouragement and Depression.

At first it felt like the right thing to do, but as challenges start popping up left and right, you no longer feel so sure. Maybe you thought you could “handle it”, but lately you're feeling so defeated. You've been disciplining yourself to give it to God and trust Him, but when you're feeling discouraged, some days you find yourself still picking it up and doing things your way – only to realize that your way isn't error proof. Discouragement can quickly partner with anxiety, and together they can birth an overwhelming urge to act now. Do something to ease the discomfort. Together they can falsely convince you that there is no hope, and no time, so you'd better move now. Not so. This leads to half-baked decision making, careless words, and even dangerous methods of self-soothing. Listen in on today's episode as we talk about practical steps you can take to help you: - Practice resisting the pressure to act quickly when you're feeling discouraged. - Walk by faith in the throes of your circumstance - Shift your sight from the crash to the cross Quotes: "Feelings may not totally go away – and some days they may spike – but it doesn't stay at the same intensity forever." "The best thing to do when you feel tempted to act during moments of discouragement, is to do nothing." "Practice resisting the pressure to act quickly when you're feeling discouraged. Resist the lie that you must act NOW in order to be okay." "Remember – You desire His perspective. Not yours." "Can you resolve being still in this present difficulty, shifting your eyes from the crash and onto the cross?"

Series: The Gospel of Mark

It's a mistake to assume that followers of Christ are immune to discouragement. Even David, who wrote many of the Psalms, struggled with dark moments. In this episode The Verdict, Pastor John Munro exposes the symptoms and the biblical cure for dealing with discouragement.

We are excited to kick off a new series on the topic of Discouragement starting with this episode. Now I know this doesn't sound like the most exciting or uplifting message series ever.  However, it goes without saying that discouragement is something we all face to some degree and I feel like dad's approach is very personal and in the end, highly ensightgul and very encouraging.

What You'll Hear In This Episode:Love doesn't have to be an either/or experience. In fact, good relationships should help you in every aspect of your life including career and spirituality. Isn't a relationship all about compromise? The FIREWORKS myth, and why it's okay if you don't feel crazy sparks on the first date (or even the third!). A few listener questions and statements including one woman who is restructuring her love life, and another wondering where all the emotionally available men are. Think love is getting in the way of your relationship with a higher power? Actually, the ultimate spiritual thing you can do is find love. How is the time table of finding love and starting a family different for men vs women? If you're single for now, enjoy it! But do the RIGHT work so it's possible to call in the Guardian of Your Soul, IF that is what you truly desire. It's important to look into the future, and see what you want it to look like. Other people are going to project their ideas of how life SHOULD be onto you. The restrictions and limiting beliefs are quite often because they are trying to protect you. But, that doesn't mean you live for them. How working with Lisa and Benjamin can help you get crystal clear on what you want, including spiritual wisdom. Continue On Your Journey: Lisa Shield | YouTube | Facebook | Instagram | Book a Call With LisaEmail the podcast at: podcast@lisashield.comQuotes: “It doesn't have to be about compromise.

Pastor Chris Amaro teaches an expository message through Numbers 21:4-9 titled, “The Cure For Death And Discouragement.”

As we begin to wrap up the Old Testament, Fr. Mike reflects on our reading from Sirach and what we have already learned on this journey through the Bible. He emphasizes that Scripture encourages us to rise again from our sin and return to God, because our God always picks us up again with his mercy. Today's readings are 2 Maccabees 4, Sirach 47-49, and Proverbs 24:13-16. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear. Please note: The Bible contains adult themes that may not be suitable for children - parental discretion is advised.

This episode is very near and dear to my heart because I've personally experienced so much heaviness, discouragement, and disappointment over the years. So much so to where when this happened for me, it was incredibly difficult to get out of feeling this way. It was like I felt trapped and I wanted to get out... but at the same time, I didn't want out. It was like the sadness, the hopelessness, the heaviness, the disappointment and discouragement were familiar to me and I didn't want to let them go. It was my comfort zone, in a way. I didn't believe that I could heal, feel renewed or restored, or ever stop feeling that way. There were many triggers for me. Burnout with business was a BIG one, or disappointment that my business wasn't bringing in enough revenue, or feeling really overwhelmed in business or life... But on the flip side, other triggers were loss of a loved one, not having the life I expected to have, and so much more. That being said, over the last couple of years, the Lord has really been working on me and helping me heal from this pattern of heaviness and discouragement, and in that, He has been revealing to me ways to biblically work through these negative feelings, emotions, mindset, and thoughts biblically, biologically and tangibly. And I do want to preface this by saying that there's nothing wrong with having feelings. Or feeling sad, or heavy, or discouraged. We're human and we're meant to feel. We were made this way. But what I'm talking about is when those feelings suck you in, and you cannot seem to navigate how to get out of it. It's like you go through life and function completely differently. So, that being said, it really is such an honor to be able to share these 5 steps with you today, because it's made all the difference for me. All glory be to God for that.       Membership Waitlist –＞ www.hannahbrindley.com/membership   Make sure you get on the email list to receive your Weekly Implementation Guide by going to bit.ly/powerprompts   Blog Post –＞ www.hannahbrindley.com/blog/episode41   Weekly Implementation Guide –＞ bit.ly/powerprompts     CONNECT: Instagram –＞ @hannahbrindley     FREE RESOURCES:   Reclaimed to Reign Facebook Community –＞ https://bit.ly/reclaimedtoreign   ROOTED: 3 Day Devotional Series for Faith-Fueled Female Entrepreneurs –＞https://bit.ly/3daydevotional   Attract Your Queendom (Learn to Attract Your Ideal Clients to You) –＞https://bit.ly/attractyourqueendom     WORK WITH HANNAH:   Reclaimed to Reign (Membership) WAITLIST –＞ www.hannahbrindley.com/membership For faith-fueled female entrepreneurs ready breakthrough spiritual warfare + self-sabotage in life + business   Faith-Fueled Coach Academy (Group Coaching) –＞ www.hannahbrindley.com/fca For faith-fueled females who are ready to start + scale a Holy Spirit led coaching business   1:1 Coaching Options –＞ www.hannahbrindley.com/services     CONTACT: Email –＞ hannah@hannahbrindley.com
