10-Minutes ”In-Courage-Meant” Just For You

You Are Not Too Broken To Be Used

In today's episode we speak directly to those who feel disqualified by their past or too broken for God to use. Rooted in 2 Corinthians 12:9 and Psalm 51:17, the message reminds us that God’s power is made perfect in weakness—and that He never despises a broken and contrite heart.
Through biblical examples like Moses, Rahab, David, Peter, and Paul, the episode highlights how God has always chosen the messy, the flawed, and the overlooked to accomplish His greatest purposes. The takeaway? God isn’t waiting for perfection—He’s looking for permission. A heart that simply says, “Here I am, Lord. Use me.”
Listeners are encouraged to stop letting shame silence them, to stop sitting on the sidelines, and to believe that their past doesn’t disqualify them—it may just be the platform God uses to reach someone else. This episode is a hope-filled invitation to surrender your story and trust that, with God, even your broken pieces can become something beautiful.

Don't Forget What God Did

In today's episode we explore the powerful Old Testament practice of building altars—not for ritual’s sake, but as sacred reminders of God’s faithfulness. Drawing from Exodus 20:24 and other passages, the episode reflects on how the Israelites built altars whenever God moved: when promises were made, battles were won, or hope was restored. These weren’t just moments of thanksgiving—they were markers of memory.
The host invites us to do the same today. In a world that moves fast and forgets easily, we’re reminded to pause and remember. Whether through journaling, sharing a testimony, or marking a calendar, we’re encouraged to build modern-day “altars” that help us recall where God has met us—because remembering fuels faith for the future.
Listeners are left with this challenge: don’t let what God has done become a faded memory. Let it become a foundation. Because the God who showed up before will show up again. Build something—even if it’s just in your heart—that says, “God met me here.”

We begin with the call to remember—building spiritual altars in our lives as markers of God’s faithfulness. We speak to the weary and the disqualified, declaring that broken doesn’t mean unusable. We explore obedience when it doesn’t make sense, and find strength in the surrender that comes when we admit we’re not strong enough.

The Worst Time In Your Life May Be The Best Thing That Ever Happens To You

In this soul-stirring episode, we journey through the life of Joseph to uncover a powerful truth: what feels like the worst time of your life may actually be the beginning of God’s greatest work in you. With raw honesty and biblical depth, the host unpacks how Joseph’s story—marked by betrayal, pride, slavery, false accusation, and prison—was never void of God’s presence or purpose. Instead, every valley became preparation for a future Joseph couldn’t yet see.
From the immaturity of a favored son to the humility of a servant-leader, Joseph’s transformation reminds us that God doesn’t waste pain—He uses it to refine, develop, and position us for impact. Anchored in Genesis 50:20 and Romans 8:28, this episode encourages listeners not to give up in the middle of their story. What seems like tragedy might just be divine development, and the pit you're in today could be the pathway to a purpose far greater than you imagined.

The Danger Of The Echo Chamber

In this insightful 10-minute episode of “10 Minutes 'In-Courage-Meant' Just For You,” we explore the subtle yet powerful influence of echo chambers—those environments where we only surround ourselves with voices that agree with us. While comforting, echo chambers pose a serious spiritual risk by stunting growth, discouraging correction, and replacing truth with affirmation. Grounded in Scripture, the episode challenges listeners to examine who they allow to shape their thinking. Using passages like Proverbs 27:6, 2 Timothy 4:3–4, and John 8:32, the host urges believers to embrace godly accountability, resist confirmation bias, and seek truth—even when it’s uncomfortable. Through biblical examples, such as King Rehoboam’s costly decision, listeners are reminded that real spiritual maturity comes from surrounding themselves with truth-tellers, not flatterers. The episode closes with a call to self-reflection and a prayerful invitation to choose growth over comfort, reminding us that Jesus never called us to an echo chamber—but always to the freedom found in truth.

The Heavy Weight Of Unforgiveness

In this deeply personal and convicting episode, we explore the often-painful but non-negotiable command of forgiveness found throughout Scripture. Emphasizing that forgiveness is not optional for the follower of Christ, the episode walks through key Bible passages such as Mark 11:25–26 and Matthew 6:12, underscoring the truth that unforgiveness not only disobeys God but also harms the one who harbors it. The host speaks candidly about the emotional and spiritual toll that bitterness and resentment take, describing them as burdens that poison peace and rob joy.
The episode also addresses the complex situation of being the one who seeks forgiveness but is denied it, reminding listeners that while we can’t control others’ responses, we are still called to live at peace as far as it depends on us (Romans 12:18). Through the parable of the unforgiving servant (Matthew 18:21–35), the host illustrates how critical it is to extend the same mercy we’ve received from God.
Ultimately, the message is clear: forgiveness is an act of obedience, strength, and freedom. It doesn’t mean forgetting or denying pain—it means surrendering judgment to God and choosing to move forward in mercy. The episode closes with encouragement to release past hurts to God, take the first step toward healing, and remember that forgiveness isn’t just suggested—it’s required.

I'm Not Who I Was

In this heartfelt and reflective episode, listeners are invited into a vulnerable conversation about identity, transformation, and the power of true surrender to Christ. Centered around 2 Corinthians 5:17—“If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation…”—the episode explores what it really means to live in the freedom of being made new.
Through personal storytelling and honest confession, the host shares how surrendering to Jesus didn’t just lead to behavior modification but to a total heart transformation. Old desires faded. Pretending became exhausting. And trying to balance the old self with a new calling led to burnout and disconnection. But God's grace offered something better: freedom.
Listeners are challenged to let go of shame, fear, and performance—those lingering chains from a life that no longer fits. Through the story of the woman at the well (John 4), the message rings clear: Jesus meets us where we are, calls us gently, and invites us into a life where we don’t have to pretend anymore.
This episode is a powerful reminder that your past does not define you. You are not who you were—and that’s the best news of all.

Living In Both World

In this raw and deeply personal episode, we discuss the silent battle many believers face—the temptation to live a double life: one foot in faith, the other in the world. Drawing from Scripture, real-life experience, and the story of Jesus’ temptation in the wilderness, this episode explores the cost of divided loyalty and the soul-deep exhaustion that comes from trying to serve two masters.
Through vulnerable storytelling and honest reflection, listeners are invited to examine their own walk with Christ. Are we living a filtered version of faith? Are we more concerned with appearances than alignment with God? Are we chasing worldly success while neglecting spiritual depth?
With powerful reminders from Matthew 6:24, Romans 12:3, and 2 Corinthians 13:5, this episode doesn’t just convict—it comforts. It points us back to grace, surrender, and the life of integrity God calls us to. For anyone feeling the pull between two worlds, this is an invitation to come home—to choose the path of wholehearted faith and find rest in being fully known and fully loved by God.
