The world feels heavy, and many believers are running on empty, but God is still the God of encouragement and endurance. In this conversation, Catherine talks with Shannon Crowley about her new book The Ministry of Encouragement and how God lovingly imparts courage right into the places we feel afraid, exhausted, or ready to give up.
You’ll hear Shannon’s story of joy and “crap‑ola” seasons, how God met her in loss, and why encouragement is a manifestation of perfect love that drives out fear instead of shaming you for struggling. They explore Barnabas as a “son of encouragement,” the role of community, and why even behind‑the‑scenes faithfulness can ripple out to impact countless lives.
What you’ll learn:
- How God encourages you through scripture, the Spirit, and people
- Practical ways to encourage yourself in God when you feel flat
- Why community and interdependence matter when you want to isolate
- How to offer simple, Spirit‑led encouragement that strengthens others
