In this episode, we're diving into Acts 14:1-28 with a focus on a timely and important topic: "Don't Get Discouraged." Life is full of challenges, and sometimes we face discouragement in various aspects of our lives. But through the story of Paul and Barnabas, we can find strength and encouragement to persevere. Let's explore how we can stay strong in our faith and find courage even in the toughest times.Episode Notes:Episode Summary: In this episode, we delve into Acts 14, where Paul and Barnabas face significant opposition and challenges during their missionary journey. Despite the trials, they demonstrate remarkable perseverance and faith, offering valuable lessons on dealing with discouragement.Key Points:Facing Discouragement: Life can get difficult, and discouragement can affect all areas of life, including relationships and work. Within the church, discouragement can also creep in. How should we respond?Paul and Barnabas' Journey: During their first missionary journey, Paul and Barnabas faced intense opposition, yet they persevered. Their journey through Iconium, Lystra, and Derbe was filled with both triumphs and trials, showing their commitment to their mission.Miracles and Misunderstandings: In Lystra, Paul healed a man crippled from birth, leading the locals to mistakenly worship Paul and Barnabas as gods. Their reaction to this incident teaches us about humility and the importance of directing glory to God.Enduring Through Trials: Despite being stoned and left for dead, Paul continued his mission, demonstrating the power of steadfast faith. His message to new believers was clear: expect trials, but remain steadfast.Encouragement in Hard Times: Paul and Barnabas appointed elders in each church, ensuring support and leadership for the new believers. Their return to Antioch of Syria marked the completion of their journey, where they reported all that God had done.Practical Takeaways:Expect Problems: Challenges are a part of life, and expecting them can help us prepare and respond better.Endure and Minister: Perseverance in the face of adversity is crucial. Use your experiences to minister to others who may face similar challenges.Seek Courage: When discouraged, seek the courage that only faith can provide. Look to examples like Paul, who faced incredible trials yet continued his mission.Trust in God: Rely on God's strength and trust in His plan, even when the path is difficult. Remember, when you get discouraged, you need courage. Let's draw inspiration from Paul and Barnabas and stay committed to our calling.Support the showJeremy McCandless is creating podcasts and devotional resources | PatreonHelp us continue making great content for listeners everywhere.https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.com
In a recent podcast interview titled "From Rock Bottom to Rockstar: How Dr. Samantha Harte Beat Addiction," host Floyd Marshall Jr. sat down with the accomplished physical therapist, sober mom of two, and author, Dr. Samantha Harte, to delve into her remarkable journey of overcoming addiction and transforming her life. Background and Introduction Dr. Samantha Harte's story is a testament to resilience and the power of the human spirit. With more than fifteen years of sobriety under her belt, she has not only conquered her demons but has also dedicated her life to helping others find hope and joy in the face of trauma. Her upcoming self-help memoir, "Breaking The Circuit," set to launch on June 10th, offers a fresh perspective on the traditional 12-step recovery process, providing readers with a new blueprint for living. The Journey During the podcast interview, Dr. Harte took listeners back to her early twenties when she was living in Manhattan, pursuing an undergraduate degree in communications while grappling with her passion for singing and dancing. Despite her academic success and various side jobs as a personal trainer and dance instructor, Dr. Harte found herself spiraling into a lifestyle of substance abuse, including cocaine and alcohol. The Turning Point The pivotal moment in Dr. Harte's life came when she overdosed on cocaine, leading to a wake-up call that forced her to confront her addiction head-on. This harrowing experience marked a turning point in her journey toward recovery and ultimately inspired her to make significant changes in her life. Empowering Others Through her work as a physical therapist, life coach, and author, Dr. Harte has made it her mission to empower others to break free from their struggles and find joy and resilience in the face of adversity. By merging science with soulfulness, she offers a unique approach to healing and transformation that resonates with individuals seeking positive change in their lives. Conclusion Dr. Samantha Harte's story is a powerful reminder that no matter how deep the struggle, there is always hope for redemption and renewal. Her journey from rock bottom to rockstar serves as an inspiration to all those battling their demons, showing that with determination, courage, and support, it is possible to overcome even the darkest of times and emerge stronger on the other side. In a world filled with challenges and obstacles, Dr. Harte's story is a beacon of light, shining brightly to guide others toward a path of healing, growth, and, ultimately, joy.

MEET THE GUEST: Dr. April J. Lisbon is an autism coach strategist and empowerment speaker who helps professional working autism moms go from feeling mentally overwhelmed and financially helpless to teaching them manageable strategies to obtain and sustain financial freedom in order to create a sustainable lifestyle for themselves and their autistic child(ren). Dr. Lisbon knows this process is hard for many autism moms as they’re juggling so many things at once and time is NOT always on their side. She gets it as this is a battle that she too struggles with regularly. In addition, Dr. Lisbon is an international award winning author and has authored three books, “Stretched Thin: Finding Balance Working and Parenting Children with Special Needs”, “Autism in April: A Mother’s Journey During the Tween Years”, and most recently “Unmasking the Trauma: School Bullying & Children with Special Needs”. She aspires to be an influencer in her community. April was a school psychologist when her son with autism was born, but he didn’t display any of the traditional hallmarks of autism, so she didn’t entertain the idea of this diagnosis until he was about four years old. As a mom, (not as a professional) she was not ready to face this reality. She struggled with the guilt of having missed opportunities to provide him with more services and support when she told herself “she knew better”. It was only when she chose to accept the fact that she was not going to be able to identify what caused this condition was she able to move forward in fully accepting and supporting her son. In this episode, she shares how weary she became of the anxiety that comes with waiting for a call from school about her son’s behavior every day. She knew something had to change and she had to become more available for her son but still bring in income. She decided to utilize her experience being both a mom and a professional to write books on being a mom of a child with autism from a unique perspective. She discusses the loneliness and grief you have to navigate when you are faced with the subtle yet ongoing rejection of a child with autism and their behavior. Dr. April wants you to know it’s ok to be selfish and pursue a serious quality of life and career but also know that you cannot use your child’s diagnosis to shirk back from the opportunities you were meant to seize. In this episode, we cover: How April struggled to identify and embrace her son’s autism How April made the shift from a traditional career to finding ways to support other autism moms and monetize her expertise as a mom and a psychologist How April’s tenacity has allowed her to celebrate some serious “wins” for both her son’s and her own quality of life “What I realized was that because I was unwilling to embrace it (autism), he was unwilling to embrace it. I did not realize how my influence and my impact caused him to deny who he was as a person. He was hiding his true identity and his super power because of how I thought about it."
