The (in)courage Podcast

"I’d spent so much time in my life moving that I forgot what it was like to let my heart be still in the space I called home. As I prayed, the idea that came to the surface was the encouragement to make a home. To settle down and settle in. It felt a little silly, but I realized how much I'd been waiting for something to shift and for my heart to be uprooted all over again. I'd spent so much time in my life moving that I forgot what it was like to let my heart be still in the space I called home. This invitation to make a home wasn't just one to grow up, but to grow into whatever the Lord is up to next.
 
 Over and over in Scripture, we see that God gives His people a place to find peace. Paul closes his second letter to the Thessalonians with the blessing, 'Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way' (2 Thessalonians 3:16)."

The greatest weapon blocking what God is building in your life is worry. As an ambitious woman daring to believe bigger about who you are and what Heaven has for you, you have much on your mind. Dreams, goals, responsibilities, mission-building, and a to-do list that never ends. Our mental stress can cause our eyes to default to what is wrong or missing versus seeing what God is sending.

In her new book, Daily Blessings: A Mindfulness Journal on the Goodness of God, Reinvention Strategist Marshawn Evans Daniels shows how the practice of appreciation and affirmation invites you to exchange overwhelm, self-doubt, perfectionism, and distrust for a spirit-led, limitless mindset. You will see how God’s love moves Heaven and Earth for you every single day and in every single way.

"We can embrace the fantastic, messy, holy mysteries of faith in every season. Borrow this prayer:
 
 O God of mystery, hear our prayer. Comfort us in our doubts. Give us peace when we don’t know what comes next. We know our lives are but a vapor, but we also know that in the mist, You are there.
 
 Help us to live into the mystery of a life of faith. Let us embrace the beauty in the unknowing. Give our family the courage to admit what we do not know and faith to trust You with our questions.
 
 In our wondering and in our wandering, we believe in what we cannot see. Amen.
 
 May God lead you and your family into rhythms of grace this fall – and in all the seasons to come."

"The exhausting cycle of packed days, stressed-out kids, and emotional meltdowns was not going to change until rest became a central factor in our lives. I needed to pivot, to transform the way I approached parenting.
 
 My realization came one day as I was reading Matthew 11:28: “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest" (NIV).
 
 Jesus' words struck a chord deep within me. His invitation to find rest in Him was a reminder that in the midst of my family's hectic life, He is our source of calm and renewal. But even more so, it was a wake-up call for me to pursue slow, unhurried living within our family."

"Only in Christ, will we ever be satisfied and fulfilled. The only secret to being everything and everywhere all at once is realizing that, only in Christ, will we ever be satisfied and fulfilled. Only in Him will we experience the greatest depth and width and height of life. Only in Him can we be everything we were ever created to be.
 
 It's no secret and it's no superpower.
 
 To be with Him is to be everywhere we ever need to be.
 
 To be known by Him is to see we are everything we ever need to be."

Choosing to see life through the lens of appreciation, affirmation, and gratitude (instead of lack and loss) is how we renew our minds to align with the Holy Spirit. It’s how we learn to see that God really is always with us. This awareness . . . this intentional discipline of holy mindfulness . . . is how we learn to abide."

"If you are in a season of growing, doing things beyond others’ expectations, beyond the safety of what you are “supposed” to be doing, that will make you vulnerable when the storm comes.
 
 My strategy when I’m taking risks is to hang out with others who are doing the same. We can support each other and hold each other up."

"One day “how much longer” will be no longer.
 
  One day, everything will be colored the shade of restoration.
 
  But for today, we hope. We pray “on earth as it is in heaven.” We remember that God will not be rushed, but neither will He be late. We wait and we trust and we find that it’s true: God really is going to carry us through."

"He’s the sort of God who finds us there on the raw edge of all that splinters and dead-weights. As a college student, spending countless hours with open Bible and face pressed to the carpet, you couldn’t yet see how you’d need the things that crack you wide open to help you remember you know God differently on your knees. But now you see the gift in seasons of stretched-out waiting, urgent praying, and good things breaking. Because, grace is in the things that make you seek Him . . . and you finally see, this whole time, He’s been teaching you to treasure His presence over answered prayers."
