Our pursuit to know God and sit with Him allows us to live lives that are marked by God‘s faithfulness, which is the greatest encouragement that we can have in our friendships.
Jesus frequently encouraged His disciples using words such as “take heart,” and “be not afraid” to strengthen their faith and empower them to overcome adversity, but words of encouragement are not the only way to lead our people back to trust in the Lord. Today on the podcast, we discuss the impact of interceding for our loved ones in prayer, sitting well with our people (often in silence), and the many ways we can encourage them through words, actions of service, and mostly through our lived experiences of God’s faithfulness.
In John 16:33, Jesus states, "I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."
When we desire to know God and live our lives for His glory, our stories are walking encouragement for those around us. Sometimes we get to share through words, but most of the time our journey with God does all the talking. I encourage you to think today about your journey with God and how it might be an encouragement to those around you.
You’re invited to join us today over on the Wheatful Woman podcast for another quick 20-minute episode about “The Kingdom Impact of Surrounding our Friends” and how we love our people in a way that makes God known.

Wheatful Woman: the term we use to describe our community of women based on our founding verse Psalm 81:16. God created us for personal relationship with Him and relationship with one another. We pray W&HC would be a place you find resources to dwell in God's goodness, the hope found in His love and to get connected with other women walking with Him.
Our Founding Verse: Psalm 81:16 ESV But he would feed you with the finest of the wheat, and with honey from the rock I would satisfy you.
