Hi, 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.
419: Why Are You Afraid?
27.04.2026 | 26 Min.
Hello, 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.

Hello, friend. I hope you’re doing well today. This week on the podcast we’re wrapping up our series exploring the profound gift of God’s grace.

My prayer is you will receive this great gift that meets your greatest need, and that you will learn what happens when graces reach into every part of your life. Let grace get you.
417: Coming Clean With God

Hello, 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.

Hello, 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.
