Episode # 129 "Encouragement After Tragedy" with guest speaker, Heidi McPherson-Krieghauser

Hello! Welcome to the Be Encouraged Podcast! You are listening to episode # 129 and I am your host, Jackie Brindle.  I am so thankful you decided to press play today! If this is your first time listening, I want you to know that you are so loved and welcomed here in our BE ENCOURAGED! Community. I hope you find that these messages, themes, testimonies, and/or pondering points in each episode become a beacon of light in the good and not-so-good parts of your day.  We all face life —- it can feel easy one moment and hard the next.  And as I muddle through the messy parts of life, like the rest of us, I need not only encouragement but to hear faith-based perspectives, truth, and grace that will spark everlasting encouragement. So if faith is a big thing for you or perhaps you are just opening up to it, I have no doubt it will speak to your heart today!  Especially because I have a very special women’s author (called, “Prophetic Encouragement for God’s Daughters”), podcast host of “Unencumbered”, and keynote speaker, as our guest on today’s episode, Heidi McPherson-Krieghauser. Heidi has faced a heart-wrenching tragedy in her life by becoming a widow not just once but twice. She has every right to sit in bitterness and anger with God.  Yet, she chooses to have the courage to rise above it! Heidi has learned that “When all else fails, God doesn’t”.  Today’s encouragement is for you, for your sister, for your friend, for your mom, for your neighbor, for your coworker, or for anyone else that pops up in your mind. We never are promised tomorrow, but we do get to be encouraged by God through Heidi’s story and inspiration, today.  I don’t think it’s an accident that you pressed play today!  So come on in and grab your cup of coffee, get on your walk or run, and wherever you are…..
