The (in)courage Podcast

"I wonder if this is what Jesus meant when he invited us to be childlike. Perhaps we've been invited to not overthink and just slow down and ask questions. To notice the very obvious and celebrate the very ordinary. To delight in others and in little wonders. To kneel down and offer a hand."

Listen in as Becky Keife talks with author Heather Hair! In her new devotional, It’s All Good: 90 Devotions to Embrace Your Now, Heather helps us discover that no matter where our feet are planted, God is always present, working out His beautiful plan for us today and always. You’ll find that God is an all-powerful healer who longs to release you from your pains and past hurts. He longs to release you from your daily struggle and relentless pursuit of your future. The good news is that God’s love can overcome our fears and flaws, and healing is possible. After all, learning how to simply be with God — to actually be still, stand in awe, and do nothing in particular — can transform our minds, help our bodies rest, and give us the peace we’re desperate for.

"He pursued me relentlessly and He will pursue you too.

He will go anywhere to pursue you, even to the most unlikely of places. For me, He found me and met me where I was — a gentlemen’s club. Sometime after that first night I was ministered to, I went back to church and gave my life to Christ. I left the adult entertainment industry and devoted my life to Jesus, not minding what it would look like or where it would take me."

"Your compassion for humanity reflects the very heart of God. In light of God’s compassion, may you be brave enough to stay tender to the world's beauty and pain. When the world feels off its axis, may hope-soaked sunbeams warm your tear-streaked face. May you experience Christ alongside you – in both the joy and the sorrow that comes with being human and honoring the humanity of another. May God’s mercy move you to extend mercy to another, knowing that we love because He first loved us."

"Sometimes . . . we just need someone to acknowledge that the ache is real. As the holidays come rushing in, so do the memories that remind me of my grandfather, and my cousin, and my eccentric friend — all of them gone too soon. So this holiday season, I won't fight the grief. I will hold hope in one hand and heartache in the other.
 
 This holiday season I will choose to believe that our tears matter to God, the One who cradles all our little losses and greatest griefs. If you need the same, I hope you do the same. For the empty chair at your table, know that Christ dines with you and dwells within you — even and especially in this."

"Jesus, increase my faith for the things that I ask. Amen.

You get what you ask for in this life. So, ask! You get what delights you. Don’t be shy. Take joy in what’s around you. It could be the puffins. It could be a giraffe. Whatever it is, don’t hold back. Ask. Find the courage to ask for the life you want to have."

"Sitting in spaces of cultural discomfort for the sake of the gospel is always worth it. The next time you smell a new food in the cafeteria or at church or in your workplace, take a deep breath, smile, and genuinely ask the other person to tell you the story of their dish.
 
 The more we embrace people’s foods, the more we show them that we embrace the fullness of their humanity the way God does.
 
 Trying things that are new and getting out of our comfort zones is hard, but sitting in spaces of cultural discomfort for the sake of the gospel is always worth it."

"Our support can ease the burden when grief is too much to bear. Grief is a sneaky and tricky companion. But grief, for all its anguish, is a needed partner in the days and months to come. And while our grief may never get smaller, the more love and support we experience makes that grief a little easier to carry day to day."

"God will not let us go and never, not for a single moment, will we find ourselves walking alone. Our steps might be shaky. We may not be able to see more than one foot ahead. We might feel like our feet are slipping, might worry about what’s around the bend, and might be weary from slowly shuffling along for so long.
 
 But as we step into an unknown future . . .
 
 As we walk toward change, walk through what we never saw coming, walk among the ashes of what was or even, perhaps, what will never be . . .
 
 We can rest assured that one thing is absolutely certain: we do not walk alone."
