Listen "Son of Encouragement - EP 229"
Episode Synopsis
Have you ever felt like giving up? Like you're done, tapped out, can't take one more thing? You're not alone and you're not broken for feeling that way. In this episode, we take a real and honest look at the moments when even the greatest heroes of faith, heroes like Elijah, Jeremiah, and even Jesus faced discouragement. But it’s not just about feeling low; it’s about what you do next.We also dive into the life of Barnabas, the “Son of Encouragement,” a man who didn’t work miracles, didn’t seek the spotlight, but left behind a legacy that’s lasted 2,000 years simply by showing up, standing up for the outcasts, and choosing to see potential where others only saw problems. Whether it was vouching for a distrusted Saul of Tarsus or standing by a failed John Mark, Barnabas shows us that encouragement isn’t about coddling, but rather, it’s about calling people to higher ground.This is about the small, messy, everyday ways we lift each other closer to God. Because the story isn’t over yet. Yours story, my story, or their story, so let’s talk about how to stay in the fight and how to be a Barnabas when the world needs it most.
