Hello, friend. I hope you’re having a good day. 

We’re diving into a new topic this week on the Encouraging Word Podcast – thought management. Controlling your anger or managing your anxiety may seem like an impossible task at times, but it’s not! It’s a promise found in Scripture and backed up by neuroscience. With God’s help, you can tame each thought and become a person who thinks and acts more like Jesus.

We would love to pray for you! Please send us your requests here.

God has an anointed calling for your life.  So, are you pursuing your destiny?  That’s the topic today on BOLD STEPS with Pastor Mark Jobe. We’re continuing a pivotal lesson on the topic … of destiny.  The Bible makes it very clear that God has a specific calling and direction for each and every one of us … and as Christians, we need to be fighting for our God-given destiny! But it all starts with understanding that calling through preparation, testing and a bold faith.

There was a lot of confusion happening on the first Easter morning. The resurrection had happened but it was neither expected nor accepted by all at first. Mary Magdalene ran to tell the disciples what she saw, and they ran to check out her report. What they saw was compelling evidence of a resurrection, but only one of them really connected all the dots. Let's see why.

Where can you find truth you can actually trust? Join Pastor Skip as he reveals why God’s Word is your most reliable source—for life, faith, and freedom.

From postpartum recovery and sleepless nights to six weeks without intimacy, many of us step into marriage unprepared for the realities of motherhood. Add to that the emotional rollercoaster of discerning when to welcome another child only to face unexpected pregnancies--it's clear this journey isn’t always tidy.

In this episode, I sit down with Chrissy Horton, content creator and mother of six, for an honest, no-holds-barred conversation about life without contraception, the joy and chaos of raising a large family, and the adventure that unfolds when you surrender your fertility to God. Spoiler alert: the sex life? It gets better. We also unpack the cultural biases against big families: where they come from, why they persist, and why they’re flat-out wrong. It’s a road marked with sacrifice, but also with beauty, laughter, and unforgettable moments.
