Encouragement for Chasing Boldly After God Together

Show notes

About This Episode Everyone needs encouragement and a reminder of the hope they have from time to time. In this episode our goal is to encourage you on your pursuit to chase after God together. We start with the first encouragement: don't be afraid. The enemy wants to make us afraid, but Jeremiah 17:7-8 says the one who trusts in the Lord is like a tree planted by water that does not fear when heat comes. From there we share more encouragements for your journey, including not growing weary, remembering you are not alone, and being faithful with what God has given you today. Listen thoughtfully, share it with your spouse or anyone who could use some cheering, and be excited about God's plan and purpose for you.

About Aaron & Jennifer Smith Aaron and Jennifer Smith are the founders of Marriage After God and authors of Husband After God, Wife After God, and Marriage After God. Married since 2007 and raising six children in Bend, Oregon, they started Husband Revolution and Unveiled Wife to share what God was teaching them, not from a place of having it figured out, but as fellow travelers pointing couples back to Jesus.

In This Episode Don't be afraid — trusting the Lord like a tree planted by water (Jeremiah 17:7-8). Don't grow weary — persevering in your pursuit of God. You are not alone — Christ, the Holy Spirit, your spouse and the body of Christ are with you. Lean on God's wisdom — rather than relying on your own. Stick to your financial plan — staying faithful with what God has given you. Make your plans public — inviting accountability into your goals. King Asa's reforms — lessons from his religious reform. Marriage is your first ministry — and hard days are temporary. One bite at a time — being faithful to what God calls you to today instead of fearing tomorrow.
