SHOW NOTES:



 



In Podcast Episode 142, “Encouraging Others to Stay Strong in Their Faith,” Kim discusses the importance of being intentional about encouraging believers to remain strong in their faith. This does not only apply to those young in their faith but to all believers, no matter the season of their Christian walk.



 



The primary scripture text for this episode is 1 Samuel 23:15-18 with 16 as the focal verse:



 



15 One day near Horesh, David received the news that Saul was on the way to Ziph to search for him and kill him. 16 Jonathan went to find David and encouraged him to stay strong in his faith in God. 17 “Don’t be afraid,” Jonathan reassured him. “My father will never find you! You are going to be the king of Israel, and I will be next to you, as my father, Saul, is well aware.” 18 So the two of them renewed their solemn pact before the Lord. Then Jonathan returned home, while David stayed at Horesh.



 



ADDITIONAL VERSES:



 



So encourage each other and build each other up, just as you are already doing. (1 Thessalonians 5:11)



 



Joshua 1



 



24 Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works. 25 And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near. (Hebrews 10:24-25)



 



13 Be on guard. Stand firm in the faith. Be courageous. Be strong. (1 Corinthians 16:13)



 



12 Don’t let anyone think less of you because you are young. Be an example to all believers in what you say, in the way you live, in your love, your faith, and your purity. (1 Timothy 4:12)
