42. How We Get Encouragement All Wrong


Listen Later

Do you have people in your life that you love very much but are struggling to get along? Does it seem like they never listen to you or that you continue to repeat yourself to no change? Well, maybe it’s not necessarily them, but it’s your perspective on them that’s causing more problems. I’m not saying it’s 100% your fault, because I am sure there are very clear things your loved ones do need to improve on and change. But how do you want your loved ones to be towards you when you are struggling? Do you want them to continue to point out what you are doing wrong? Or encourage you and pull the gold you don’t even see in yourself? That’s what Jesus does to each one of us. In this episode, I will talk about what I write about in my book, The Brave Encourager.  I talk about how we get encouragement wrong and I share 8 things that encouragement is NOT. Often times we think we are encouraging and are coming from a good place, but it’s very discouraging for our loved ones. Encouragement can be the single thing that moves someone into their destiny or out of a really bad decision!
