Hi, friend. Welcome back to the Encouraging Word Podcast.

Today’s episode is for anyone who knows what it’s like to lose everything, who knows what it’s like to feel far from God. Listen to this promise found in Psalm 139: “Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.” God is not far from you, my friend. He is with you.

Today on Bold Steps, Pastor Mark Jobe shows us how to stand strong in the face of persecution and adversity. He has often said that as believers we should be following a different compass … which helps us stay grounded and prepared as we go in the opposite direction of the culture around us. It’s a hard thing to stand against the waves, but a rescue is coming. And we need to trust God’s perfect timing.

Regicide is the official word used for the execution of a king. Most countries reserve the stiffest of punishments for subjects or assassins who would kill their royalty. John records the execution of the King of kings on a Roman cross outside the city of Jerusalem. But the rest of Scripture reveals that it was more than an execution; it was sacrifice that brought salvation. The next few weeks, we will consider the cross in depth and what it means for the world and for us.

Colorado and Oklahoma are two states debating the place of religion in public schools. A new study finds the risks of taking the abortion pill are drastically greater than we’ve been told. And new research debunks the supposed perils of marrying early.

Pastor Skip shares a message about the brevity of life and the certainty of death.

Too many couples are ready to start a family—only to discover unexplained infertility and dead-end solutions. What does conventional medicine offer? Birth control to "regulate" cycles, IVF to override nature, and little interest in the root causes. Meanwhile, couples spend tens of thousands and deal with painful side effects, confusion, and heartbreak. On today’s show, Dr. Marguerite Duane reveals what most OBs completely ignore: natural, effective tools for diagnosing and healing the real causes of infertility. From cervical fluid tracking to simple nutrition and lifestyle changes, this is the empowering, science-backed approach everyone deserves to know. Whether you're trying to conceive, supporting a partner, or just care about real healthcare, this episode is a game-changer. It’s time to reclaim fertility, restore health, and demand better care.
