The (in)courage Podcast

"'God, please send help. I can’t do this by myself for one more day.' I was so broken in that season and continued breaking. But later I could see that it was in that moment of failing and falling face-down on the carpet that God met me. It was in that moment of breakdown that He lovingly came near and consoled me."

"Goodness is already on the way. Psalm 23:6 says that goodness and mercy will follow us every single day. The Hebrew word used for follow, radaph, means to pursue or to chase. Far from a casual stroll, this is an all-out sprint, a guarantee that every day, on every single page of the story, goodness is pounding the pavement, coming for us over and over again. We may not see it yet. It might look like fear is following behind, it might feel like worry is weighing down, or seem like pain or sadness will get the last word . . . but the countdown is on. The party hats have been purchased. The celebration is certain."

"My wish for you is that you would take up more space in storytelling, in bearing witness to your layered and complicated life. Write it down. Tell the vulnerable truth. Say it with your own mouth, with your own pen. That’s what happened as I wrote This Must Be the Place — seeing how the stories of my life have led me to exactly where I am and what I do today. When you ask yourself past-probing questions, you’ll discover the clues God has left along the way."

"Weaponizing my feelings of bitterness, anger, and resentment became an attack on myself. As I harbored grudges, my focus became fixated on the past, reliving the hurtful events over and over again. This mental and emotional burden restricted my ability to think clearly. Grudges kept me trapped in a cycle of negativity, draining my joy and hindering my ability to embrace the abundant life Christ has promised. My capacity to create and receive abundance was smothered by the weight of my weapon. Essentially, holding onto grudges hindered my spiritual growth and stifled my creativity."

"The world can neither give us peace nor take it away. Our daughter never cared about the state of our unfinished kitchen before, and yet her once contented soul started hounding me about something in which we had no financial resources to fix. 'Mom, when are we replacing our floors? You heard her. They’re tacky. You know they are.'
 
 In an unexpected instance, the enemy of our souls (disguised as comparison) snuck up to steal our joy.
 
 John 10:10 says it clearly, 'A thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I have come so that they may have life and have it in abundance.'”

"Conflict is inevitable; letting it be destructive is optional. May we have the wisdom to know the difference between fighting with each other and for each other. May we not choose flight or fight but instead figure out things out together. May our love conquer our fear."

"To worship through my weariness and worry was an act of defiance against my cancer. As we sing a new song, we exchange our weariness and worry for wonder and worship. We find God in our darkest places. 
 
 Will you sing a new song with me today?
 
 I’ll be the one with the bags under her eyes, belting 'It’s Your breath in my lungs,' slightly off key."

"Anything we do and anything we are amounts to nothing if we don’t have love. Jesus was love made flesh, love embodied. As I think about how to live this middle-aged life stage well, how to create a world for the next generation that would generate flourishing, I remember how Jesus lived out 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 –
 
 'Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.'"
