421: From Despair To Hope
3d ago00:31:05Tap to summarizeHello, my friend. Thanks for joining me on the podcast today. There are few guarantees in life, but there is at least one thing that’s true for us all – life comes with storms. And where you turn your eyes when trouble comes makes all the difference.

1w ago00:29:00Tap to summarizeHi, friend. Thank you for joining me for another Encouraging Word. Today’s episode features a story found in Mark Chapter 2. Maybe you know it – it’s about a man who is unable to walk and goes to great lengths to be in the same room with Jesus. He wants to be healed. And he is, but that’s not really the point of the story.
Transcribe →419: Why Are You Afraid?
2w ago00:26:37Tap to summarizeHello, friend. I hope you’re doing well today. We’re beginning a new series of episodes this week, tackling the topic of fear. Fear comes up a lot in the teachings of Jesus. In fact, the most common command issued by Jesus is some version of “Do not fear.” Easier said than done, right? But with God’s help, it’s possible, my friend. You can fear less tomorrow than you do today.

Apr 1300:32:09Tap to summarizeHello, my friend. We make mistakes, don’t we? We make stupid decisions, some of use more than others. We sin. And God, in his kindness, has given us a tool to deal with it. To resolve the regret or shame left behind by those bad decisions. He has given us confession.

Apr 600:27:31Tap to summarizeHello, friend. Thank you for joining me this week. If you’ve missed some episodes or are just tuning in for the first time, this is a great place to start. We’re talking about what happens when grace happens, something I didn’t fully understand until I was years into ministry. I pray you understand it today.
Transcribe →415: The First Step Toward Forgiveness
Mar 3000:26:50Tap to summarizeHi, friend. Welcome to the Encouraging Word Podcast. This week’s episode brings us to a story you’ve probably heard; you may even hear it this Holy Week. In John chapter 13, we read about Jesus washing his followers’ feet. This passage is often referred to when teaching about service or humility. But it also offers something else very important—how to respond to someone who hurts you.

Mar 2300:32:09Tap to summarizeHello, friend. Thanks for joining me. In today’s episode we see how God not only forgives us—every sin, even those we never know we commit—but also invites us into his family. You are more than forgiven, my friend. You are beloved.

Mar 1600:27:56Tap to summarizeHello, my friend. I hope you’re having a good day. Today’s Encouraging Word brings us one of Jesus’ most tender invitations: “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” You need not wonder if you’ve out-sinned God’s grace, friend. You can rest.
