The (in)courage Podcast

We followed God's whisper in, and we followed it right back out.
 
 Sometimes it’s like that; a wild decision here, a seemingly scattered choice there. If you can look steadily beyond the shivering winds, the shattering earthquake, and the showy fire, God’s voice will ring clear and gentle. Throughout that year's journey, through the pain and the loneliness, the fear and failures, the leaving and the leaving again… God remained.

If you can hear the gentle whisper of the Lord, you’re never without a way home.

"Trust that even in the worst of times, God is for you and Jesus walks with you. The key to having peace, regardless of circumstances? Believe in God and believe also in Jesus. Because He's brought me through 100% of yesterday's troubles, I can trust He'll do the same for any that may arise today and tomorrow."

"Happiness isn’t out there.
Joy is found in God, right here.

Getting away is a gift and can be a way for God to bless us or speak to us in a new way. But it’s not the only way for us to experience joy, to learn or grow, to be okay. Sometimes we can’t get away, and when that happens, we can remember that God—and all the joy, hope, peace, and love He offers us freely—is right here."

We are not outsiders to God. When we let all the details of ourselves unfold ― when we embrace who we were divinely knit together to be ― this is when we’ll fully experience his perfect love.

Told with tender honesty and compelling prose, Tell Me the Dream Again: Reflections on Family, Ethnicity, and the Sacred Work of Belonging, by Tasha Jun is a memoir-in-essays.

Are you feeling the urge to get honest before God, but don’t know where to start? Jennifer Dukes Lee’s got you covered. She’s written Stuff I’d Only Tell God: A Guided Journal of Courageous Honesty, Obsessive Truth-Telling, and Beautifully Ruthless Self-Discovery. She describes the journal as “your own little confession booth.” Inside, you’ll find daring questions – including a list of questions Jesus asked. You’ll also find provocative lists, quirky charts, and thought-provoking prompts.

This journal is a place to record ideas, beliefs, secrets, memories, wonderings, and wishes – things that might seem outlandish or outrageous to anyone else but are what make you you.

When we invite Jesus into every detail of our lives, prayer can get personal. Tell Jesus everything. Ask Him to give you a life of prayerful adventure. Then just watch as your prayer life starts to get personal.

"God’s love will not let us go on hiding forever. His love finds us, stops for us, and searches for those who have been harmed and those who need healing.
 
 And whenever we come near to someone else in hiding, we imitate Jesus, our Immanuel: the God who comes near."

"God knew that we were weary and burdened and He gave us the kind of rest we desperately needed. God knew about Lora’s brain tumor and Tad’s job loss and all the uncertainty, sorrow, and brokenness we were carrying. What I saw so clearly in that moment was how the story of our lives is telling the grander story of God’s greatness. This is true for all of us, isn't it? My children and friends thought they were just planning a surprise party, but the God who knows the end from the beginning and the beginning from the end knew what would happen in our lives leading up to February 24, 2023, and He put together a gift so spectacular no one could deny who it was from."
