- 宗教與靈修
Welcome to the (in)courage podcast! We are all different ages, in different life stages, and we come from different cultures and churches, but our common thread is the hope of Jesus. Each weekday we meet you right where you are as one of our writers shares what’s going on in her everyday life and how God’s right in the middle of it all. We bring our joys and struggles equally so that you can feel less alone, and be empowered by the hope Jesus gives. We hope you’ll bring us along with you on your morning walks, driving to the grocery store, waiting in the preschool pickup line, alone in your kitchen, or as you wind down for the evening. Wherever you join us, you’re welcome here, and we’re honored to be a part of your day. Read our daily posts at incourage.me. The (in)courage podcast is brought to you by DaySpring. For over 50 years, DaySpring has created quality cards, books, and gifts that help you live your faith. Find out more at DaySpring.com.

Simi John: Don’t Let Old Jeans Make You Keep Looking Back
"Often the “glory days” or the “good ol’ days” make it hard to find contentment in the present. It’s hard to step into an unknown future when we live in the comfort of yesterday’s memories. Friend, God’s not done with you. He isn’t disappointed that you’re different today than you were ten years ago. He wants you just the way you are, right now — cellulite and all. So, no more turning back."Leave your story in the comments, and get the details on our summer study through 100 Days o...

Kaitlyn Bouchillon: Morning Will Come, but God Won’t Leave in the Night
"Scripture is clear: darkness exists. But the repeated promise remains: we won’t face the night alone. It may seem like we’ve been waiting for morning for a very long time, but we have not been left behind or lost, forgotten or abandoned. His eyes remain on us, His presence ever with us, no matter how deep or long or dark the night. One day not too long from now, the “night will be no more” (Revelation 22:5). But for now, for today and tonight and tomorrow, we can rest a...

Jen Schmidt: Celebrate Good Times, Come On!
"Celebration cultivates joy. Joy harnesses hope. Hope renews your soul. Dance, feast, hope, rest, laugh, worship. Celebration looks different for everyone, but Christians should be an alleluia from head to foot, as Saint Augustine reminds us. Yet often, we aren't known for fun and celebration. I desire to be known as a joy giver. This isn’t an instruction to dismiss or pretend our challenging circumstances aren’t relevant. Just the opposite. During a time of excruciating...

Ligia Andrade: Overcome Rejection and Remember Who God Says You Are
"We will likely encounter things we may never fully understand or find answers to. Pain and heartbreak can be so intense and profound that, at times, we feel like we can't move forward. We may even feel like the world would be better off without us. I have been in that place, my friend, and I understand what you are going through. However, I can also confidently proclaim that Jesus is greater than all of it. The Creator of the universe wants you. He has plans...

Holley Gerth: If You Ever Ask, “Shouldn’t I Be Farther Along by Now?”
"Our great and tender God is not trying to force you to maximize your life. His rhythm is one of love and grace at a pace that won’t destroy your soul. He’s not asking you to try harder or do more. He spoke the world into being — what trouble does He ever have with His to-do list? You are not doing anything wrong if it seems like it is taking a long time to fully step into your calling even though you know what God wants you to do."Leave a comment for Holley: https://incourage...
