The (in)courage Podcast

The CSB (in)courage Devotional Bible is an invitation for all women to find their stories within the tapestry of the greatest Story ever told. The (in)courage Bible just celebrated her sixth birthday. . . and now has two beautiful brand new cover options! Along with the original covers, you can now also choose from the gorgeous Bordeaux purple or this lovely Sage green. Both leathertouch, both stunning. We're so excited that this Bible continues to speak to hearts, that our own devotions alongside God's Word continue to encourage, and that the reading plans, deep-dives into featured women, and reflection questions continue to inspire.

"'The ear that listens to life-giving reproof
     will dwell among the wise.' Proverbs 15:31

Chances are there is someone giving you feedback on an area of your life and their observations or questions make you bristle. Will you automatically discount their critique because it's uncomfortable to hear, uncomfortable to apply? 
 
 Or will you ask God to give you an open and discerning spirit, humble and tender to the kind of correction that will ultimately help you grow?
 
 Lord, please help us to choose the latter."

"The kindness of a friend is always a reflection of the kindness of God. Not only does God promise to walk with us, but He also designed us to walk with others. He created us (and commands us) to weep together and rejoice together, break bread together, and build each other up. When the Spirit lovingly whispered, I am here for you. I will meet your needs. You don’t have to walk this journey alone, it was also the reminder I needed to invite others to walk this stretch of the road with me."

"Sometimes, you can rescue a bad day with a nap. Here’s your permission to take one. God gave Elijah the grace of SLEEP.
  
 When my kids were growing up, we had a saying at our house: “The best way to make a bad day go away is to take a nap.” God created us to go to sleep so that our bodies could regroup. Sometimes, the difference between grumpy and a better mood is a quick nap or not cheating yourself out of a full night's sleep.
 
 Sleep is grace because it restores you without you having to do any work to make it happen.
 
 While those five words can be a complaint, “I've had enough, Lord” can also be a prayer inviting God’s grace into your life."

"So when I feel agitation boiling up with me, I find ways to release it that won’t cause harm. I find ways to get what I feel out of me. Sometimes I release my anger with words, deep breaths, or shouts in the shower. On good days, I invite others into my anger as well. Recently, my youngest child was having a fit. Noelle quickly ran into the other room and grabbed a pillow for her to scream in.
 
 And remember this: God is with us, especially in our anger."

"God knows us and loves us, as we were and as we are right now. If you’re going through a time of transition or change or uncertainty, I pray that you remember that the One who created you still knows you. He will always recognize you. Nothing you or I can do will stop God from looking at us with love and saying, 'There you are!'"

"While waves of regret may come, God won't let the pain experienced go to waste. When waves of regret come, I'm learning it's better not to fight them. I picture myself sinking into the Lord's grace and redemption. That means rather than letting the regret tangle me up, I let the love of Christ hold me and save me. Rather than fighting myself, I surrender to Jesus, allowing Him to move me from the regret of the past to the relief that He is always working to redeem, preserve, and grow things of value from difficulties and mistakes."

"You matter.
 You are seen.
 You are valued.
 You are heard.

When lies try to deplete you, ask El Roi, the One who sees you, to remind you of your visibility, your value, and your significance. Bring yourself back to truth. You matter. You are seen. You are valued. You are heard. Rehearse truth’s song. Turn up the volume and allow it to refresh you."

"The same One who changes the leaves can also change my heart. Like the leaves on the North Shore, turned ahead of time and out of sync with my expectations, I feel out of step with this season I love so much. But those passages in Ecclesiastes remind me of the Jesus I also love so much, that His life also turned ahead of time... and yet it was actually the exact, perfect, just right time.
 
 Every step we take is all in His time, and there's a grace and relief in that.
 
 Even when it flies, the time is His. Even when it drags on and on, it's His. Even when it feels off-beat, it's His."

Kindness is like confetti; there’s always lots to spare. When we love like Jesus does, we spread it everywhere!

Perfect for a little one in your life, this sweet book helps teach about kindness in an adorable and accessible way. When Betty sees a new girl at school, she tries her hardest to offer a warm welcome, but so many obstacles get in Betty’s way! Notes get passed to the wrong people. Lunchroom invitations get mixed up. But in the end, Betty’s kind heart wins the day when she shares kindness with others.

Listen in as Maghon Taylor and Becky Keife have a conversation about Spreading Kindness like Betty Confetti! Then be sure to enter to win a copy of this darling new book: https://incourage.me/?p=235176
