Podcasts about encouragement

In 1710, the British Parliament passed a piece of legislation entitled An Act for the Encouragement of Learning. It became known as the Statute of Anne, and it was the world's first copyright law. Copyright protects and regulates a piece of work - whether that's a book, a painting, a piece of music or a software programme. It emerged as a way of balancing the interests of authors, artists, publishers, and the public in the context of evolving technologies and the rise of mechanical reproduction. Writers and artists such as Alexander Pope, William Hogarth and Charles Dickens became involved in heated debates about ownership and originality that continue to this day - especially with the emergence of artificial intelligence.

Sometimes, life has a way of knocking the wind out of us, suddenly and without warning. Hi Neighbor, How do you navigate those unexpected changes or losses that shake your world? Over time, I've learned to find steady ground through simple practices, prayer, journaling, or even a quiet walk outside. In the midst of grief, these anchors have become pockets of peace. I've also come to lean on the people in my life, my anchors. Friends who listen, support, and encourage me when life is difficult. In today's episode, I reflect on the sudden loss of a dear friend, Shannon, one of those anchors who passed away without warning. His life reminds me of the kind of steady, hopeful presence, and anchor we all need. Anchors of hope and healing are on the way. Your Neighbor, Tim P.S My thoughts and prayers are with Shannon's wife, Dana, and the entire family. Though there will be tears, sorrow, and pain now, Shannon knew that one day God will wipe away every tear. You're not alone in this journey. If you haven't joined our private community, consider this an invitation. It's a safe space to share your struggles and triumphs with fellow adoptive parents who truly understand what you're going through.

I almost gave up on college. I had the books, I was enrolled – but I stopped going to class. I watched friends graduate and figured I'd missed my shot. But then a few friends started encouraging me: You're not too far gone. You can still finish.Their words helped me believe again. And it reminded me how powerful encouragement really is – not just in school, but in faith. 

In this episode, Rebecca, who is also the Thrive Premier Training (TPT) Coordinator, talks about how going to training herself has helped her "level up" her relational skills, especially for parenting. You'll also hear ways to start preparing for training now - even if you aren't able to go this year - and other resources to begin building your skills.

The episode kicks off with some light banter, but quickly shifts to a deep, honest conversation about the struggles that come with following Jesus—and helping others do the same. Facing the Hard Stuff Josh opens by naming the elephant in the room: temptation is part of life, even in ministry. While it's tempting (no pun intended) to focus only on wins and high points, the guys make it clear—ignoring sin doesn't make it go away. In fact, it makes things worse. Confronting it directly is key to personal integrity and faithful disciple-making. Everyone Struggles—Even Jesus Was Tempted Drawing from Hebrews, they remind us that even Jesus faced temptation. That truth doesn't excuse sin—it encourages us. If He faced it and overcame, we can lean on Him in our fight too. Disciple-making isn't about being perfect, but about staying honest and dependent on Jesus. Don't Go It Alone Jason pushes back on the myth of solo Christianity. Isolation is dangerous, especially when struggling with sin. They paint a biblical picture of community—like the body, vine and branches, shepherd and sheep—where honest relationships offer support, accountability, and light in dark places. Confession Brings Healing Confession isn't just a religious duty—it's a path to healing (James 5). The hosts use a striking image: sins are like baby dragons. Small at first, but dangerous if fed and hidden. Naming them early—through confession and accountability—stops them from taking over. Practical Tools for Disciple-Makers Josh and Jason share some simple but powerful practices: Safe Spaces: Create environments where people can share struggles without fear of judgment. Early Confession: Address sin before it grows into something bigger. Regular Reflection: Stay in step with God by confessing quickly and often. Rely on the Holy Spirit and Scripture They caution against white-knuckling your way through temptation. Instead, rely on the Holy Spirit and God's Word. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 10, they remind listeners that God always provides a way out. Around the world, disciple-making movements thrive when Scripture is the foundation and the Spirit is the guide. God's Word Transforms They emphasize that lasting change comes from God—not effort alone. When we stay rooted in Scripture and invite the Spirit to search our hearts, He brings conviction and real transformation. The goal isn't behavior management; it's presence-driven change led by Jesus. No Sin Too Small—or Too Big When it comes to cultural issues like sexual sin, they caution against playing favorites with sins. All sin separates. The best approach? Get people into the presence of Jesus and let the Holy Spirit do the heavy lifting. Encouragement to Apply They close by encouraging listeners to keep it simple: read Scripture, listen to the Spirit, confess quickly, and stay connected. Disciple-making happens when people walk in honesty, grace, and dependence on God—together. Takeaway: Sin and temptation are part of the journey—but they don't have to derail it. Through confession, accountability, and the power of the Spirit, disciple-makers can walk in freedom and help others do the same.

Setting the Context: Pentecost Sunday Explanation that Pentecost is recognized as the birth of the church and a pivotal event in Christian doctrine. Emphasis on the empowerment of the disciples by the Holy Spirit and the ongoing relevance of Pentecost.

The Experience of the Early Church Disciples' state of confusion and despair after Jesus' death. Fulfillment of Jesus' promise through the coming of the Holy Spirit. The supernatural signs accompanying the Spirit's arrival (wind, tongues of fire, speaking in tongues). Speaking in Tongues Definition: A supernatural language for worship and communication with God. Old Testament examples of the Spirit coming upon individuals (e.g., Moses' elders, Gideon, Samson, Saul's messengers). New Testament affirmation of speaking in tongues as evidence of Holy Spirit baptism. Instances of Holy Spirit Baptism in the New Testament Jerusalem (Acts 2:4): Disciples receive the Holy Spirit. Samaria (Acts 8:14-17): Believers receive the Spirit through the apostles' laying on of hands. Saul/Paul (Acts 9:17): Receives the Spirit after Ananias lays hands on him. Cornelius' house (Acts 10:44-48): Gentiles receive the Holy Spirit while Peter preaches. Ephesus (Acts 19:1-6): Believers receive the Holy Spirit through Paul.

Inner strength and comfort (John 15:26). Spiritual gifts (1 Corinthians 12:4-11). Fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22). Spiritual quickening (Romans 8:11). Who Can Be Filled with the Holy Spirit? Everyone: Rich, poor, young, old, sinners, saints, children, etc. Reference to Psalm 81:10 as encouragement to receive. Who Cannot Be Filled with the Holy Spirit? Those satisfied with mere salvation and unwilling to serve. Disobedient and unyielding Christians. Those who do not believe or are closed off to the Holy Spirit. Conditions for Receiving the Holy Spirit Repentance and baptism (Acts 2:28). Asking God with faith (Luke 11:13). Deep conviction, consecration, and willingness to live for God (John 7:37-39). The Ongoing Work of the Holy Spirit in Believers Teaches and makes believers teachable. Enables true worship and confession. Guides prayer and leads by God's word. Conclusion The Holy Spirit is the comforter and helper sent by God. Encouragement to be open to the Holy Spirit's work and to fulfill commitments in service to God and the church.
