"Some days the headlines weigh heavy on my heart, and the chaos of our world feels insurmountable. And I return to the liturgy of making bread, which beckons me to stretch and fold, knead and kneel, to taste and see the Master Baker at work.

The story of Ruth is usually viewed through a Hallmark-tinted lens: girl suffers hardship, girl overcomes hardship, boy meets girl, they fall in love, and then everyone lives happily ever after. But there's so much more to Ruth's story!In her new six-week Bible study, Redeemer: God's Lovingkindness in the Book of Ruth, (in)courage contributor Dorina Lazo Gilmore-Young invites us to view the book of Ruth through a different lens—one that helps us recognize how this story proclaims God's heart for the vulnerable, including widows, orphans, immigrants, refugees, and the poor.Order your copy of Redeemer: God's Lovingkindness in the Book of Ruth, and leave a comment on the featured excerpt shared earlier this week for a chance to WIN a copy: https://incourage.me/?p=250961The (in)courage podcast is brought to you by DaySpring.

Are you grieving a loss? You likely are. We experience loss every day. Sometimes, it's smaller, like moving away from a friend or a city you loved, and sometimes, it's extremely significant, like the death of a family member. But through it all, we can be looking for God's glory. And when we search for it, we will see it. My guest, Dorina Lazo Gilmore-Young, is sharing her personal story of loss and the miraculous gift God gave her family through it. She's encouraging us to chase God's glory through our grief, too.

SummaryIn this episode, Becky Keife interviews Dorina Lazo Gilmore-Young, author of the children's book 'Kailani's Gift.' The book explores themes of perseverance, developing gifts, and the importance of community support. Dorina shares the story of Kailani, a young girl who wants to learn a traditional Filipino dance called the Tininkling. Despite facing challenges and setbacks, Kailani perseveres with the help of her family and eventually performs the dance at her grandparents' anniversary party. Their conversation also touches on the importance of trusting God's timing, embracing cultural roots in storytelling, and celebrating diversity in stories.TakeawaysPerseverance is key in developing our gifts, even when we face challenges and setbacks.God delights in the process of our growth and development, not just the final product.The orientation of our hearts, focused on worshiping and honoring God, is more important than striving for perfection.Trusting God's timing is essential, as He has plans that are higher than ours.Connect with (in)courage: Facebook & Instagram for daily encouragement, videos, and more!

"God grants us gifts and talents that need to be tended over time. Gifts and talents take time to bloom." Dorina's new kid's book, Kailani's Gift, echoes this same message. Kailani needs to have the courage to try something new. Even though she doesn't master it right away, Kailani perseveres. The tinikling dance is challenging, but it is also rewarding when she can offer it as a gift to her grandparents. We all might be clumsy with new things at first, but if we push through the awkwardness and have fun, we can bless others with what we have learned.Enter to WIN a copy (giveaway open to US addresses only and closes on 4/21/24): https://incourage.me/?p=238371--Encourage all the moms in your life with heartfelt messages of God's love!

SummaryIn this bonus episode, four (in)courage writers discuss the theme of powerful praise and how it can strengthen you in times of struggle. They share personal experiences of how praise has helped them in difficult situations, such as worshiping at a funeral, finding strength through community worship, and expressing gratitude for daily blessings. They also explore the obstacles that can hinder praise, including unforgiveness, busyness, and the desire for control. They'll encourage you to shift your focus from yourself to God and to approach Him with confidence, knowing that He is always good and faithful.Takeaways:Praise can be a powerful tool for finding strength in times of struggle.Praise can take various forms, such as worshiping through music, communally praising God, appreciating nature, and expressing gratitude for daily blessings.Unforgiveness, busyness, and the desire for control can hinder our ability to praise God.Shifting our focus from ourselves to God and approaching Him with confidence can help us overcome obstacles to praise and receive His strength.--Get your copy of 100 Days of Strength in Any Struggle wherever books are sold, and find a FREE sampler from the book at incourage.me/strength!Connect with (in)courage: Facebook & Instagram for daily encouragement, videos, and more!

"I've come to believe food is the best way to remember our loved ones who have soared to heaven. One of the healing practices we have in our family is remembering our people through food. My kids remember their dad whenever my daughter bakes his favorite snickerdoodle cookies. I remember my Grandma Sara when we roll ravioli on Christmas Day for our feast. Maybe you serve up your aunt's cinnamon rolls on Christmas morning or that bacon-wrapped turkey in honor of your brother on Christmas Eve. Let me encourage you to take time not just to savor the food, but also to tell the stories of the people who live on through the memories of these special dishes.

What does it mean to take up space? Do you have a fear of taking up space? Do you want to be seen as low maintenance? Listen in. Taking up space means to be more than furniture; to be human. In the words of Pinocchio to be “a real boy.” It means to kindly and directly – without apology or embarrassment – share needs, wants, preferences, and dreams. Friends, God created you to take up space. We are allowed to take up space. To be human means that our physical body, emotions, thoughts, and spirit take up space. It is impossible to be a human and not take up square footage. Taking up space is part of God's design. So when you fear taking up space, it means you fear sharing what troubles and worries rumble in your heart, or what gifts and work light you up. Fearing taking up space might come out in phrases like, “Whatever is easiest for you” or “Oh, I don't care” when you really do care. In terms of how we feel about taking up space, we fall into one of three buckets. “It's natural” bucket “It's uncomfortable” bucket “It's totally fine, but then when I do, I regret it” bucket No matter what bucket you fall into, you may fear taking up space because: You've done it in the past; it didn't go well, so you vowed never to do it again. Or you've misunderstood scripture about what it means to deny and die to self, Or you desperately do not want to be seen as selfish. Our enemy has done a heck of a job convincing God's girls that taking up space is a bad thing. In today's episode, you'll receive practical strategies and anchoring truths for remembering grace overcomes fear and that you do not need to fear taking up space. You'll learn: what it means to take up space, how you feel about taking up space, why you fear taking up space, and what God says.

"God can handle our anger, our frustration, our doubts, and our discouragement. He is with us in our grief even when we are wrestling spiritually. Friend, I know it might be tempting to just grit your teeth and power through, but expressing our anger and frustration to God can actually help us emerge on the other side with resilience and strength.

Or you are so sad about your pet who has passed away, Or maybe you're grieving your spouse or parent who is slowly slipping away because of a diagnosis. Today, I'm grieving that the rhythms and routines I once held dear are met with sighs or a jam-packed schedule. (For any parent of a marching band or club sport kid, you know what I'm talking about!) Whatever you grieve today, God meets you there. As the God of all comfort, He longs to comfort you. But many of us feel squeamish about grief. We don't want to talk about our loss. Or what hurts. We prefer to get busy, push down, numb out, or power through. Are we even allowed to be sad when God promised He'd work all things out for good? As Americans and as Christian women, many of us have an aversion to grief. Most of us don't want to have anything to do with it. And also, this side of heaven, grief is a part of daily life. I can think of no one better to speak about entering into grief despite our fear than today's guest, Dorina Lazo Gilmore-Young. In today's episode, you'll receive practical strategies and anchoring truths for navigating grief. You'll learn: What we fear about grief, Why we avoid it, Where God meets us in our sadness and sorrow, And four ways to be a grace-giving friend to someone who is grieving.

THIS MONTH'S PRAYER GUIDE: Praying God's Word for Your Blended Family. Not all blended families are a result of divorce. Sometimes, we find ourselves faced with a different future than we'd planned because of the death of a spouse. Because this kind of loss is completely different from any other topic we've covered so far, I thought it deserved an entire episode all to itself. And when I thought about who would be best to lead us in the conversation…someone who would bring such grace to it, being honest, while pointing the finger straight to Jesus, I couldn't think of anyone better than my friend, Dorina Lazo Gilmore-Young. On today's episode, Dorina shares the experience of losing her young husband to cancer, and God's redemption and restoration plan for her and their three girls. It's a beautiful story. I teared up several times as Dorina share about God's faithfulness to her family during one of the most stressful times of her life. You won't want to miss this precious episode, so tune in right now! Dorina is also the author of our newest prayer guide, Praying God's Word for Your Blended Family. Pray for God to work in your children's hearts to: Trust in the Lord to provide for all their needs. Wait on the Lord to give them His best. Develop strong and lasting relationships Overcome pain and brokenness from their losses. Walk into their future confidently trusting in God's plan. With heartfelt teaching from a blended family and scripture-inspired prayers this digital prayer guide is perfect for the busy mom who needs God to move in the hearts of her family.

"It was also not lost on me that heat propelled the balloons upward. Just like the hot air balloons, it is so often the fire in life that becomes the catalyst for movement and causes us to look up. In the Bible, Peter encourages believers to have endurance through suffering and trials. He reminds us not to be surprised by the heat and pressure. In life, it's not a question if we will encounter trials; it's about when we encounter them. Life's challenges can cause us to sink or to soar."Leave a comment for Dorina: https://incourage.me/?p=235531--The brand-new NLT DaySpring Inspire Illustrating Bible features more than 300 ready-to-color designs, inviting you to interact with the Word of God in a unique and refreshing way.

THIS MONTH'S PRAYER GUIDE: Praying God's Word for Your Blended Family. Are you a blended family concerned about helping your "his, mine, and ours" truly feel like family? I'm nothing if not a child of the 90s, so when I think about THE blended family, I think about the Brady Bunch. I know reality is probably very far from that picture, so Vanessa Martindale, of Blended Kingdom Families, is here today to help us understand some of the most common challenges blended families face as they turn strangers into siblings.

THIS MONTH'S PRAYER GUIDE: Praying God's Word for Your Blended Family. If I had to guess, I would say that the hardest part of blending a family together is learning to co-parent. I have a good friend who introduces her kids often as, "his, mine, ours" and while that sounds very sweet, I believe it's probably much harder work than most of us realize. Different parenting styles, sibling relationships, difficulties with ex-spouses...it feels like to could a minefield, and that's why I've invited my friend Rachel G. Scott to talk to us today about growing in your co-parenting. Rachel is a wealth of information, with years of experience fighting for the blended family. Don't miss this episode. Even if you aren't a blended family, you know one.

THIS MONTH'S PRAYER GUIDE: Praying God's Word for Your Blended Family. With over 1300 new step families forming in the US every day, it's safe to say that each of us has the opportunities to minister to and support a blended family. Or maybe you are a blended family, looking for insight and a way to ensure the transition goes as smoothly as possible. You're in the right place. On today's episode, I've invited Ron Deal, founder of Smart Stepfamilies, to give us a broad spectrum look at the challenges blended families face. We'll answer questions like: How the Church sees the blended family in 2023. How to “cook” a step family. What relationships to prioritize when blending a family. And Ron shares specific, heart-felt encouragement for any parent who feels like they've failed, and hope for how to move forward with confidence. Don't miss this important episode.

1300 new stepfamilies are forming every day. Over 50% of US families are remarried. The average marriage in America lasts only seven years. One out of two marriages ends in divorce. 75% remarry. Can there be any doubt that ministry to blended families is desperately needed. I don't think so, and that's why I've chosen to devote this entire season to supporting the blended family. We have some amazing stories and wisdom to share. On 10/3/23, Ron Deal, of Smart Stepfamilies is joining us to give an overview of what the blended family is, and name some of the challenges they face. On 10/10/23, Rachel G. Scott will lead us in a conversation about growing in your co-parenting. Vanessa Martindale will join us on 10/17/23 to talk about the strain on our children as they blend together with new sisters and brothers. How to turn strangers into siblings is going to be so practical and helpful for blended families. Remarriage doesn't always come after a divorce, so Dorina Lazo Gilmore-Young will join us on 10/24/23 to talk about trusting God with your family after the loss of a spouse. And finally, Connie Albers will help us wrap up the month by talking about understanding the unique challenges children face when their parents remarry.

"God created us to rest. Full stop. On my sabbatical, I was reminded that rest helps us untether our souls from the hamster-wheel pace our culture glorifies. Rest helps us change our speed from striving and sprinting to slowing and noticing. Rest highlights our idols and distractions and brings us back to the peace found only in our Creator's arms."Leave a comment for Dorina:--Whether navigating political or religious differences, dealing with toxic people or our own unforgiveness, our book Come Sit with Me tackles the struggles no one really wants to talk about.

"Where is the line between honest dialogue and gossip? Is it possible to simply vent about a difficult situation without oversharing or being unkind? How do I communicate with honesty, empathy, and grace? The longer I live, the more I think these questions have answers that are more gray than black-and-white. Relationships and the conversations we share within them are nuanced, and they require wisdom and discernment. At times, we need to create safe spaces with trusted relationships to talk through the complexities of life and interactions. At other times, we need to process in private, sharing our biggest hurts and frustrations with God alone. More often than not, it's a combination of both of these."Leave a comment for Michele: https://incourage.me/?p=233303--Bible study starts this week!

The Focus Journal will help you release stress and overcome perfectionism anxiety so you can experience genuine, ongoing, spiritual transformation.

"God is the only one who can catch and care for our every wish, dream, want, need, joy, heartbreak, fear, and tear. When I realize I can't meet the wants, wishes, and needs of others, I am learning to, instead, release them to the only One who can. This looks less like bending myself into impossible shapes to save the day and more like praying for the people and places I care for."Leave a comment for Rachel: https://incourage.me/?p=233577--Bible study starts this week!

"The God of mercy is longing to meet you in your circumstances. Friend, we serve a God of mercy. It's part of His character. Not every widow's story will turn out like mine. Not everyone will experience grief the same way my family has. But I know that the God of mercy is longing to meet you in your circumstances too. I return to the words of David: 'You have turned for me my mourning into dancing; you have loosed my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness, that my glory may sing your praise and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give thanks to you forever!' (Psalm 30:11–12)."Leave a comment for Dorina: https://incourage.me/?p=232416--In our divisive and unforgiving world, we need mercy more than ever.

"To worship through my weariness and worry was an act of defiance against my cancer. As we sing a new song, we exchange our weariness and worry for wonder and worship.

"Anything we do and anything we are amounts to nothing if we don't have love. Jesus was love made flesh, love embodied. As I think about how to live this middle-aged life stage well, how to create a world for the next generation that would generate flourishing, I remember how Jesus lived out 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 – 'Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.'"Leave a comment for Grace: https://incourage.me/?p=233189--You can now order Create in Me a Heart of Mercy, the next Bible study from (in)courage!

"Even after I turned away from Jesus, He didn't turn away from me. Do I believe in miracles? Yes, because I am one. You're likely reading this today because you are asking for a miracle, too. Someone you love has strayed far from God. Perhaps you are the parent who painstakingly raised them to know Jesus. You've prayed. Hard. You've cried. A lot. You trusted God. And yet stand in the silence. Your child shows no signs of returning. Friend, I was that child.

We followed God's whisper in, and we followed it right back out. Sometimes it's like that; a wild decision here, a seemingly scattered choice there. If you can look steadily beyond the shivering winds, the shattering earthquake, and the showy fire, God's voice will ring clear and gentle. Throughout that year's journey, through the pain and the loneliness, the fear and failures, the leaving and the leaving again… God remained.If you can hear the gentle whisper of the Lord, you're never without a way home.

"Happiness isn't out there. Joy is found in God, right here.Getting away is a gift and can be a way for God to bless us or speak to us in a new way. But it's not the only way for us to experience joy, to learn or grow, to be okay. Sometimes we can't get away, and when that happens, we can remember that God—and all the joy, hope, peace, and love He offers us freely—is right here."Leave a comment for Mary: https://incourage.me/?p=232920--We're celebrating the launch of Create in Me a Heart of Mercy by Dorina Lazo Gilmore-Young, the next Bible study from (in)courage!

Mercy is an invitation to align our hearts with the heart of God and to dignify those around us. As recipients of God's mercy, we are called to emulate His mercy. It doesn't require a large bank account or hours of time. Sometimes mercy can be extended through giving up your seat on the bus, inviting a rebellious child into your arms, defending someone who is being shamed, or delivering a meal to a neighbor. How will you be merciful to others today?

Lucretia is the creator of Brownicity.com, a learning community that celebrates many hues and one humanity. She's a wife, mom of three, and a former college professor, and her passion for racial healing led her to becoming an author and speaker. And long-time listeners know Dorina, friend of the show.

We had so much fun chatting, and I think you'll get a lot out of our conversation, too. In this episode, we're talking about how to teach your kids about other races and cultures through media. We've got tons of book recommendations for you, plus TV shows and movies to watch with your family, as well as details about a cool new program Lucretia and Dorina have just launched. And because this is The Couch, where rabbit trails and side notes are always welcome, we also get into Scholastic book orders, the next show you'll want to binge on Netflix, and charcuterie boards.

In this conversation with author and speaker Dorina Lazo Gilmore Young, Rooted and Overflowing listeners are empowered to "Walk, Run, and Soar" in life and in their walk with Christ.
Join my friend Dorina Lazo Gilmore-Young and me for a few minutes of Biblical encouragement and a quick time of prayer for you. Dorina shares a wonderful devotion about waiting like eagles from Isaiah 40:28-31. This passage is often used for encouragement, but Dorina shares a few super interesting things that I didn't know before. She also offers a beautiful and powerful prayer over our listeners, which you don't want to miss. Dorina Lazo Gilmore-Young is a "glory chaser,” who meets God running trails in Central California or near the Pacific Ocean. She is a speaker, spoken word artist, Bible teacher and mama to 3 passionate girls. She is the author of two Bible studies, Glory Chasers and Flourishing Together, as well as the award-winning children's book, Cora Cooks Pancit. Dorina is passionate about helping people discover God's glory on life's unexpected trails. Dorina and her husband Shawn are also the authors of a new devotional book for runners, walkers, and movers called, Walk, Run, Soar, and the hosts of a podcast with the same name. The book and the podcast are like Spiritual pep talks for all people who are interested in moving their bodies. Verses:Psalm 40:28-31Do you not know? Have you not heard?The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth.He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom.He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall;but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.Connect with Dorina:Website: www.DorinaGilmore.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/DorinaLazoGilmore/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dorinagilmore/Connect with Sarah:Website: https://www.sarah-keeling.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sarahkeeling.author/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_sarahkeeling_/
Dorina Lazo Gilmore-Young is an author and speaker who is passionate about helping people discover God's glory in unexpected places. But in the midst of the Pandemic with her family's long-awaited travel plans delayed and then cancelled, Dorina found herself struggling to see glory in the continued quarantine life. With a long winter break and nothing to look forward to, Dorina processed her disappointment with her husband Shawn and her three daughters. Shawn suggested bringing Hawaii home by having a luau and ordering in Hawaiin food and it sparked the idea of Global Glory Chasers, a cultural exploration program for families. Dorina and I talk about doing deep dives into the food and culture of international communities and how helping our kids engage with other races and nationalities gives them a global perspective on the glory of God “Learning about cultures is actually an invitation for us to learn more about God's glory and how he has made each one of us into his image bearers. We can't understand God, unless we're willing to listen to stories of people from different backgrounds. So we like to say we're breaking barriers by breaking bread at home and by eating the foods of the different cultures.” Connect with Dorina: Website: dorinagilmore.com Facebook: facebook.com/DorinaLazoGilmore Instagram: @dorinagilmore Links Mentioned: Global Glory Chasers Membership BOOK: Glory Chasers: Discovering God's Glory in Unexpected Places Ep 282 Many Hues, One Humanity :: Dr. Lucretia Berry
Welcome back to The Christmas Couch! In these weekly bonus episodes, a friend and I recap and review the new holiday movies we watched the weekend before. We tell you if we're giving it a thumbs up or down, how diverse the movie was, what made us groan, "C'mon!" and if we're still hooked on holiday movies. This week's episode is super fun, because both my guest and I brought our daughters along to chat! My friend (and friend of the show) Dorina Lazo Gilmore-Young brought her daughter Zayla to the Couch, and my daughter Adrienne joined us as well. So that means we've got extra giggles, plenty of rabbit trails, and honestly? Some really good insight from our girls who watch holiday movies along with us. So, Dorina and Zayla tell us about their favorite five movies of the season so far, and then I talk about a couple Hallmark Channel movies I watched last weekend and, surprise! a movie Adrienne and I watched on UPtv.

Today my friend, Dorina Lazo Gimore-Young, is here to talk about exercise in pop culture. Now, Dorina is an author and speaker, a fellow writer at (in)courage, and also a friend of the show, but she's also an experienced runner and a running coach. So she is definitely an expert on this topic! We'll talk about the extreme portrayals of fitness pop culture tries to tell us are the only options, as well as how training montages show up in so many different types of movies. She'll share with us a bit about her new book—a devotional for runners—and I share the TV shows I bribe myself with to force myself to walk on the treadmill. Whether you like working out or not, it's a good time. I promise! Let's get started.
