The (in)courage Podcast

"Remind your strong-but-weary heart of this today: Sometimes failure is success. We see moments of failure as reasons for shame. But what if we shift our perspective? When you “go to failure,” it means you have given your best. You’ve tried as hard as you could. You refused to give up. You used every bit of strength you had. You didn’t fail; you found your growth point."

For many, engaging in prayer can feel like a constant “stop-and-go” experience. It may be tough to get into a rhythm or frequently find the right words to say, especially during busy seasons or stressful days.

Hi God, It’s Me: 20 Days to a Strong and Powerful Prayer Life by Georgia Brown encourages you to see prayer differently — not as a moment in time, but as a lifestyle that you can enjoy. In this 20-day guide, you will discover how to build a resilient prayer life that withstands waves of feeling or trying times. As you read selected Scriptures, pray, and engage in the fun activities provided, you’ll learn how to get carried along in a current of fresh and meaningful conversations with God.

Listen to this conversation with author Georgia Brown, pick up your copy of Hi God, It’s Me today, and leave a comment on this weeks feature article to enter to WIN one of five copies: https://incourage.me/?p=233434

"Wisdom is being able to pick out the truth from the things that don’t matter. I wonder, then, about the times I’ve asked God for wisdom but waited around for it to drop from the skies instead of actively seeking it. Or the times I’ve asked but didn’t receive what was given to me because of the way it was provided or because of the messenger it was given through. I wonder if my preferences become pickiness and I end up foolish instead of wise when God’s been providing wisdom for me all along."

"Celebrations and tears. Prayers, praise, and petitions. Sacred songs and silly banter. 

As I scroll through Instagram, my life feels so chore-like, so 'daily' compared to others. I have nothing extraordinary, no great stories to share. And yet, could our seemingly common, day-by-day, hour-by-hour, mundane faithfulness be the catalyst for a strong legacy that can shift the next generation?
 
 As I processed the sacredness of this table transition, it hit me: Thousands, yes, thousands of guests have joined us around this very ordinary table. Day by day, meal by meal, bread is broken, His Word revealed, and the true Bread of Life nourishes amidst the most daily of rituals."

"Here’s the wild thing about hope: it doesn’t require concrete proof – just belief in what’s possible. I think about the times in my life when it feels hardest to hope…
 
When anxiety weighs heavy, when bills stack up, when the injustices of the world scream loud -- hope can feel impossible, even foolish. As adults, we are trained to look at the evidence. We are told to trust logic and statistics more than things like passion and intuition. But when we focus only on what can be seen – like numbers on a scoreboard – we miss out on the wild goodness, beauty, and possibility of what is unseen. Hope helps us fix our eyes and hearts on that which is beyond mere calculation or reasoning."

"Because of His holy grace, in Him, sister, you are set apart. So, as you share your days with your Father, who so deeply cares about every little detail of your story, may your heart be encouraged as you acknowledge that God is set apart. If He is your Father, then that makes you . . . His girl! So come to your Holy Father. Come as a holy child who is precious in His sight."

"You actually DON'T have to 'pull yourself together' on a hard day. You are allowed to break down.
 You are allowed to weep.
 You are allowed to cancel plans.
 You are allowed to take a nap.
 You are allowed to simply 'be.'
 
 The truth is, you don’t 'got this.' Only God does."

"The way we access patience and kindness is through the Holy Spirit. Our family has been marked by divorce and death, but my parents' marriage rises above life's waves as a redemption story written by God."

"Your words may mean more than you can imagine. Does someone need to know how you feel? Tell them. Write a note. Your words may mean more than you can imagine, and live on for generations, treasured, not easily forgotten."

"God doesn’t want you to miss whatever it is that He has waiting for you today. Today, you have chances and choices. Chances to be fully present with those you love and choices about what you need to do and what can wait. Where you can invite God’s Holy Spirit to discern what must be done and what can wait?"
