The (in)courage Podcast

"There’s no murky water too dark or too deep or too dirty for God’s love to take root. God wrote love and mercy into the pages of Scripture and into the flowers and wind and trees. There’s no murky water too dark or too deep or too dirty for God’s love to take root. There’s no light or warmth too far from the layered depths of loss we find ourselves swimming in. Whatever thing you’re losing hope for, whatever on-going struggle you face day after day, God’s mercy is moving alongside of you and will not leave."

"I did the hustle thing and it's exhausting. My life runs better when it's quieter. Jesus knew something that we, in our live-out-loud, post-it-all, like-counting culture, can easily forget: quieting makes space for more.
 
 More connection. More peace. More open-handedness. More time. More room in our calendars, hearts, and homes."

"If you have a friend who is struggling, she needs you. Loving friends well is our privilege as a follower of Christ, and I’m hopeful to give what I’ve received. When we love others well, we’re demonstrating the compassion and empathy that Jesus showed during His earthly ministry. The goal is always to point a friend toward the unfailing love and grace of God, which, ultimately, is what we really need when we’re struggling."

"In a society focused on immediate gratification, we forget the virtue of patience. Patience does not come naturally for most of us, especially when overnight shipping and thirty-minute delivery are everyday options. But God promises to give us what we need, and that includes patience. As we face long-term challenges and seemingly unending struggles — or even when we simply can’t get exactly what we want right when we want it — let’s ask God to give us patience. Let’s ask Him to empower us to wait for Him until the day we see His promises fulfilled."

"I refuse to hoard or hide or waste my gifts. So often I think about the day I will stand before God and I want to hear those beautiful words “Well done, good and faithful servant” (Matthew 25:23). I refuse to hoard or hide or waste my gifts. No, I want to squeeze out every last bit of the gifts that I have been given here on earth to bring God glory. To live any other way would be foolish."

There are plenty of books and journals out there about “finding yourself” and “discovering who you really are.” But few of them point to the truth of Who made us and what He says about us. In Known: An Inspirational Journal for Self-Discovery, author Brittney Moses offers you the chance to discover your true identity from a Christ-centered point of view. It’s so easy to get caught up in codependency or placing value on roles in life. But when everything else fades away, you don’t have to feel lost or get stuck in disillusionment. 

Brittney guides Known journalers to grace-filled truth, inspiring them with prompts and helping them uncover their God-given uniqueness along the way. 

Order your copy today . . . and leave a comment on Brittney's article from earlier this week for a chance to WIN one of 5 copies: https://incourage.me/?p=234197

"The Lord is doing a deep heart work in Gen Z. He's teaching them how to take their eyes off of themselves and how to first set them on Him. And then, how to see the needs around them.
 
 He's giving them a burden to further the Kingdom despite the cost.
 
 He's creating a hunger inside of them to linger in His presence.
 
 They're discovering how to pray for each other in faith that the Lord will respond.
 
 They're learning to esteem others as more highly than themselves.
 
 He's stirring up generosity in them to give whatever is in their hands -- time, talent, resources, energy.
 
 They're wanting the absolute truth of God and not the subjective truth of the world.
 
 They're searching for the move of God in expected and unexpected places.
 
 The most exciting part is that He's not done."

"Desperate to avoid future pain, we also miss out on today's pleasure. Far too often we get a glimpse of a potential catastrophe and, as a result, we hole up inside, eyes on the sky, heart tied up in knots, fearful of a future that may or may not happen. A failed relationship, an unexpected diagnosis, a potential rejection, or a professional failure. Desperate to avoid future pain, we also miss out on today's pleasure -- God's present goodness to us right here, right now, exactly where we are."

"By the grace of God, I keep clinging to this truth: God is good. And He does not change. My prayer for the next month or two is to wake up in the morning and dare to hope that good things happen indoors and under umbrellas. That friendship can still grow and community can still be built and Scripture can still bring me home. Because my hope is built on nothing less than the goodness of God, rain or shine."
