Podcasts about encouragement

Blending a family isn't just about making schedules work or learning each other's habits. It's about entering into an already-formed culture — one that existed before you. For the stepparent, that often means grieving what you imagined family life would look like, while choosing to restrain yourself from immediately reshaping the environment into “yours.”In this episode, Jason and Lauren Vallotton talk candidly about:Why grief is a normal and healthy part of the step-parenting journeyThe tension between honoring the existing family culture and slowly helping build a new oneThe unspoken expectations that every stepparent carries — and what to do with themWhy building a new “normal” takes years (Ron Deal says seven, and it often feels true!)Encouragement for couples to stay connected in the long process of blendingIf you're in the thick of a blended family dynamic, you are not crazy and you are not alone. Healing, belonging, and love can grow in the middle of the mess — but it takes time, patience, and a lot of grace.PatreonIf you've enjoyed this podcast, would you consider financially supporting the show?

Episode Title: When You Don't Know What's Next: Preparing Your High Schooler for the Next Season Host: Lisa Nehring Brought to you by: CTC Math — the stress-free, self-paced homeschool math program for every learner. Episode Summary What happens when your high schooler doesn't know what's next—and honestly, neither do you? In this episode, Lisa Nehring shares heartfelt wisdom drawn from her own experience of transition: selling her family home after 22 years and entering a new season of life. Just as a home must be prepared before it's ready for new owners, our teens can prepare for their future—even when the destination isn't clear yet. Lisa helps parents shift from being “taskmasters” to “project managers,” guiding the big picture of high school with intention and peace. She breaks down four key skill areas every teen needs before graduation—academic foundations, digital fluency, financial and career readiness, and social-emotional intelligence—along with four types of transcripts that align with their goals: trades and tech, college prep, honors/dual degree, and entrepreneurship. This episode will help you stop stressing about predicting the future and start preparing your teen to be ready when opportunity comes. Key Takeaways You don't need to know what's next to start preparing for it. Shift from being a taskmaster (focused on daily assignments) to a project manager (focused on the big picture). The four categories of preparation: Core Academic Foundations — communication, critical thinking, creativity, collaboration. Tech & Digital Skills — AI tools, coding, digital literacy, and research. Financial & Career Readiness — budgeting, entrepreneurship, professionalism. Social & Emotional Intelligence — leadership, resilience, and cultural literacy. Three main pathways (plus one bonus!): trades and tech, college prep, dual degree, and entrepreneurship. Preparation over prediction is the key to confident homeschooling through high school.

SUMMARY In this episode of the InPowered Life Podcast, Rudi Reikstins and Anniston Reikstinsexplore the theme of expansion and personal transformation as 2025 transitions into 2026. They discuss the importance of releasing old patterns, embracing growth, and believing in limitless possibilities. Highlighting inspiring stories, practical tools, and an invitation to a free training, the hosts encourage listeners to dream bigger, disrupt limiting beliefs, and step into their highest potential—personally and professionally—by aligning with the natural cycles of growth and expansion.   TAKEAWAYS Theme of expansion and personal growth as we transition from 2025 to 2026. Natural cycles of contraction and expansion in personal and professional contexts. Importance of letting go of old habits, behaviors, and identities to facilitate growth. The analogy of nature, particularly trees shedding leaves, to illustrate the necessity of release. Recognition of "push" and "pull" periods in the growth process. The significance of the transitional period leading up to the new year for reflection and preparation. Holistic growth across various life areas (career, relationships, health, finances) for sustainable success. The role of accountability, vision, and community support in the transformation process. Neuroscience-based practices for maintaining focus on personal goals and shifting mental states. Encouragement to embrace discomfort as a part of the expansion journey and to challenge limiting beliefs.  

Sensory processing isn't always easy to spot, but it affects how kids experience the world in a big way. From clothing struggles to party meltdowns, what looks like “behavior” can often be a child's nervous system asking for help. That's why I sat down with occupational therapist Laura Petix, who specializes in sensory processing and works with families online to support kids with unique sensory needs. We talk about what sensory processing really means, sensory processing differences, how parents can recognize differences, and why shifting from “disorder” to “differences” matters for kids' self-esteem and support. Laura shares her own parenting experiences as a neurodivergent mom raising a neurodivergent child, and we break down myths that leave parents feeling judged or confused. We cover: What sensory processing is and how it shapes daily life for kids The difference between typical toddler behavior and sensory differences Red flags that suggest a child might need more support The “sensory cup” analogy for understanding overstimulation and meltdowns Why discipline doesn't fix sensory needs, and what actually helps Practical ways parents can validate, regulate, and advocate for their kids To connect with Laura Petix check out all her resources at https://theotbutterfly.com/.  Follow her on Instagram at @theotbutterfly. 00:00 Intro & Dr. Mona's Story 03:15 Meet The OT Butterfly (Laura Petix) 06:45 What Sensory Processing Really Means 10:40 Typical vs. Sensory-Driven Behavior 16:00 From Disorder to Difference 20:00 Early Signs in Babies and Toddlers 23:40 Parent Stories & The Sensory Cup Analogy 31:00 Supporting Kids (and Yourself) 34:00 Myths and Misunderstandings 41:00 When to Seek Help & Encouragement for Parents We'd like to know who is listening!

In this episode, I connect with Sam, a listener of the podcast. Sam shares his story growing up in Northern Virginia, where sports and family played significant roles, transitioning to a college life filled with heavy drinking and partying. After moving to Florida, Sam realized that alcohol prevented him from pursuing his passions and living a fulfilling life. A significant wake-up call from his boss helped Sam make the critical decision to stop drinking. Sam discusses his journey through sobriety, the importance of support systems like AA and podcasts, and how focusing on his hobbies and improving his mental health has changed his life. Sam now channels his energy into helping others and setting personal goals, celebrating one year of sobriety with a renewed sense of purpose and clarity.   Sam on IG: https://www.instagram.com/sammysharks9/   00:00 Introduction and Guest Welcome 00:40 Sam's Childhood and Upbringing 02:21 Early Experiences with Alcohol 03:40 High School Drinking Culture 09:37 College Life and Escalation of Drinking 14:00 Consequences and Realizations 17:44 Post-College Reflections 24:35 Health Issues and Denial 27:20 Seeking Help and Self-Reflection 34:19 Breaking the Cycle and Growth 35:15 The Unexpected Journey to Sobriety 35:41 Life in Tampa: Bars, Beaches, and Martial Arts 38:18 The Turning Point: Realizing the Impact of Alcohol 40:09 The Decision to Quit: Work and Personal Life Collide 42:52 The First Steps: AA and Early Sobriety 46:28 Transformations: Physical and Mental Health Improvements 48:20 Finding New Passions: Fishing and Fitness 49:07 Supporting Others: The Power of Community 01:00:45 Reflecting on the Journey: Advice and Encouragement

In this special "No Fear Fall" series kickoff episode, Heather Creekmore digs deep into the connection between faith and fear—two powerful forces that shape our daily lives. Have you ever wondered why “faith over fear” doesn’t always seem to work in real life? Are you struggling to connect your big beliefs about God to your everyday worries and anxieties? This episode is for you. What This Episode Covers: Faith vs. Fear: Heather challenges the widely held belief that faith and fear are simply opposites in a tug-of-war. She explores why this dichotomy might not be the most helpful way for Christians to approach their struggles. Micro Fears and Mosquito Bites: From perfectionism and the fear of failure to tiny, everyday anxieties (like being the “fattest person in the room” or just being late), Heather shares how these micro-fears sap our joy and confidence. Applying Faith to Real Life: Learn why just telling yourself to "have more faith" doesn't always solve the problem—and what true, biblical faith actually looks like in the face of daily struggles. The Object of Your Faith: Is your faith in God’s character and goodness, or just in Him delivering the results you want? Heather unpacks the difference and warns against letting new age manifesting ideas creep into our beliefs. Practical Biblical Encouragement: Heather references Philippians 4 and the life of Abraham to illustrate that faith can be messy, imperfect, and still deeply meaningful. She offers encouragement to keep trusting, even when God’s answers aren’t what you hoped for. Takeaways: Real, life-changing faith is rooted in the character of God—not in specific outcomes or your own plans. It's okay to bring your desires to God, but hold them with open hands, trusting His greater wisdom and love for you. Even imperfect faith holds value; God honors hearts that keep coming back to Him.

The video discusses the concept of User Generated Content (UGC) and how it presents an opportunity for everyday people to earn money by creating simple content for brands. The speaker emphasizes that UGC is accessible to anyone, regardless of their social media following or experience level. The process involves creating content such as testimonial videos, unboxings, and lifestyle demonstrations, which brands can use to connect with their customers. Key points include: * UGC Accessibility: The speaker highlights that UGC is not about being an influencer or having a large social media presence. Instead, it's about creating content that brands can use to showcase their products through real people. * Ease of Entry: The speaker reassures viewers that creating UGC is simple and can be done with basic equipment like a smartphone. The content doesn't need to be posted on personal social media; it's provided directly to the brands. * Monetization Potential: The video outlines how individuals can earn money by participating in UGC, with the potential to earn around $1,000 within the first 30 to 60 days. The speaker shares their own experience of making $1,000 in the first two weeks, though they acknowledge having more time and a strong work ethic compared to others. * Encouragement for Beginners: The video encourages viewers to start creating content, highlighting that growth and improvement come with practice. The speaker reflects on their own journey and how their content has evolved over time. Overall, the video aims to empower individuals to explore UGC as a viable way to earn additional income without the need for extensive resources or a large audience.

Ever felt like deep Bible study is only for pastors, church leaders, Christian influencers, or scholars full of commentaries and Hebrew concordances? I mean, they have degrees in that stuff. They're trained in theology. They just GET the Bible in a way ordinary Christians don't. But... me? I'm just normal. I love Jesus and I believe the Bible is God's very Word that I respect and honor, but I didn't go to seminary, I'm not bilingual, and I wouldn't even know where to start.   Join Kristin Nave and podcast host Heidi Lee Anderson to dismantle the lie that deep Bible study is just for experts. They share honest stories, relatable struggles, and practical ways to approach Scripture--with or without a seminary degree.   You'll hear: Why Bible study is for every believer—not just the “professionals” Deep study doesn't always mean complex methods Highlighting and journaling can enhance Bible study The role community plays in understanding Scripture Simple, doable tips for studying the Bible with confidence How God's mercy meets us right where we are—not where we think we “should” be Kristin reminds us that God's Word was never meant to be locked behind titles, training, or theology degrees.

If you've ever whispered, “I'm failing at this mom thing…”, this episode is for you.In today's heart-to-heart, we're speaking directly to the Christian mama who feels like she's not measuring up. Whether you're battling mom guilt, struggling to connect with your kids, or simply feeling burned out, this conversation is filled with grace, truth, and real encouragement from a faith-filled lens.You'll be reminded that God doesn't call perfect mothers, He calls present ones.And even when you feel like you're falling short, His grace is enough to fill every gap.

There’s no magic cure for anxiety, no perfect formula to make it disappear. But there is God’s truth—and when you let his truth shape your thoughts, it might just shift the weight of what you're carrying.

The violence we see in the world today is because of the violence that's in the heart of man. The Kingdom of Heaven is suffering violence from those who actively oppose it. This suggests that hostile individuals and forces are attempting to stop the advance of God's Kingdom. As believers, we must passionately and eagerly pursue the Kingdom of Heaven.Support the showhttp://www.gwafgbc.org http://www.gwafgbc.org/storehttp://www.gwafgbc.org/givehttps://vimeo.com/manage/videos

In the week leading up to this Sunday, Pastor Chris wrote the congregation asking if folks needed some encouragement. We could probably all use something like that. The world out there seems awfully prickly and tense these days. Getting a blessing would be, well, a blessing. Paul's second letter to Timothy was an encouragement and a blessing-- even though the circumstances around its writing were grim. Join Pastor Chris as he encourages the congregation to be blessed for their faith, to rekindle their gift, and to trust in God and not be ashamed. Grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord!

Y'all, today's episode was SO powerful and near to my heart! I got to sit down with one of my dear friends, Nicoletta Bradley—yes, the Nicoletta from Call Her Holy—and WOW, we went deep. We talked all things body image, identity, eating disorders, and singleness, and how Jesus truly redeems it all. Nicoletta opened up about her journey through a 20-year battle with eating disorders, a broken engagement, and how the Lord birthed Noble Fitness Ministries from her healing. We also dove into the gift of singleness, the dangers of cultural lies, and the power of knowing who you are in Christ. We even touched on spiritual gifts like prophecy and tongues and how God is still moving today! I'm seriously so proud of Nicoletta and know this will encourage so many of you.
