In this episode, we talk honestly about discouragement—what it is, how to recognize it, and how to take the next step when moving forward feels hard. This time between Thanksgiving and Christmas can stir up all kinds of emotions, expectations, and pressure, and many of us find ourselves feeling more defeated than we’d like to admit. We unpack the signs of discouragement, like negative self-talk and unrealistic expectations, and look at how to bring those moments into the light. Most importantly, we lean into the hope of Philippians 1:6, reminding us that the good work God started in us isn’t finished—and He isn’t giving up on us.
