What does it actually mean to Take Heart?

In Episode 52, Pati goes deep on the origin story of TakeHeart, the podcast, the name, the mission God has been quietly writing all along. She traces it to hearts she kept finding on her walks as a widow, to a simple sentence from her pastor that spoke straight to her heart, and to John 16:33, the scripture that gave the podcast it's name.

But this isn't just a behind-the-scenes episode. It's afoundation episode, because understanding the heart behind Take Heart helps you understand what you're stepping into when you listen.

Pati also introduces the five content pillars that willguide Season 2:

 ✦  Mindset & Identity: renewing how youthink and see yourself

✦  Purpose, Gifts, Dreams & Calling:hearing what God has planted in you

✦  Courage & Action: taking the nextfaithful step through the messy middle

✦  Faith & trusting God in every season,especially the hard ones

✦  Intentional Living: designing a life alignedwith your faith and your season

And she closes with this: Take Heart isn't just about dreams and goals. At its deepest, it's God's courage in us, not only to dream, but the promise of His comfort and courage when we mourn...

and the promise that you never have to do either alone.
