Welcome to the BE ENCOURAGED! Podcast. You are listening to episode 122 and I am your host, Jackie Brindle. 

On this episode, I invited a former guest speaker, Heather Youpa - from episode 120- to return to the show! This time, we have a surprise for you! Our roles will be switched and she will ask me the questions. 

In this episode, you will get a chance to get to know me a little better. I am humbled and honored to share with you what’s been the heartbeat behind the BE ENCOURAGED! Podcast! I will unravel a little backstory about where my faith foundation started as we talked about that importance from episode 121! 

Heather also intertwines episodes 88, 89, and 90 from previous episodes, and relates the message of “BELIEVE, RECEIVE, and ACHIEVE” to encourage us all, to stay the course so that we can accomplish all the good things God has in store for us! 

In addition to learning more about the backbone of who I am and the BE ENCOURAGED! Podcast — you will hear where it’s heading in 2024! I elaborate on the meaning of my word for the year, JOY! Hopefully, it will be a treasure to remind yourself of because life is not easy and we all need that reminder of JOY – Jesus Over Your Story! The race isn’t over until it’s over. I pray this gives you the endurance to keep on keepin’ on and ONWARD!

So grab your cup of coffee, get on your walk or run, and BE ENCOURAGED!

Jackie
