The (in)courage Podcast

"I believe. Help me in my unbelief." Have you ever heard this phrase from scripture? Anna and Joy felt this one hard this week, along with the time Jesus said, "What do you mean if I can?". They talk about Mary (Jesus' mother) getting the news of a lifetime, what we can learn about obedience from her, and what it means to give God our willing yes. 

Sharing a story today is (in)courage contributor Robin Dance. She reads her story as published in Week Two of the Courageous Influence Bible Study.

Also this season, joining us are very special guests Kathi Lipp, Becky Keife, and Grace P. Cho (author of  Courageous Influence)! These three friends spent a few days together as they went through the study and -- lucky us -- they recorded their conversations so we can all listen in.

This week, Becky and Mary are looking at how we can find joy in how God made us, how when we gaze upon God and then see ourselves through His eyes, we can’t help but feel love and joy for the person He’s made us to be. That's hard! Our brave hosts share how they've struggled to love the way the Lord made them—and how Scripture tells us that no matter how the world sees us, God looks at the heart. 

Joining today is (in)courage contributor Lucretia Berry, who shares her own story about finding our joy in the Lord and how He made us.

This week, our hosts Becky Keife and Mary Carver take a look at what it means to find our joy in the Lord—and what gets in our way of doing so.

Robin Dance, (in)courage contributor joins the episode to share her own story of joy from Week 2 Day 3 of Courageous Joy, leading Becky and Mary to discuss how easy it is to lose our focus on God and attempt to find joy elsewhere. They also turn to Scripture for the story of the “sinful” woman who anointed Jesus’s feet. (You can find the full story in Luke 7:36-50.)
