   Episode 50: Take Courage Dear Heart!

   In our 50th episode, WE'RE 50!!! Jen and Cyndi spend some time talking about encouragement. You might be surprised to learn all that goes into Encouragement. Our Big Fat Word of the Week is Encouragement because we need a full orbed view of this important duty we have to one another and this grace God has made provision for to get us to the end. In Do You Understand What You're Reading Jen fleshes out some of the encouragement that Paul gives to the Thessalonians. In our discussion we talk through the ways we get encouragement from others and how seeing others believe and live out the promises of God can encourage us. We pray you are encouraged and also pray you'll get busy encouraging others!
