Welcome to BlenCouragesU.com! This wonderful and tough life is an open book test–--God’s Word has all the ANSWERS!! One of my favorite books of the Bible is Nehemiah. God called him to rebuild a wall and it a was tough assignment with all of the naysayers, distractors, and circumstances that came up to TRY and stop the work. In spite of everything, Nehemiah remained faithful to God, stayed working on the wall, and completed his task--all to God's glory! His story inspires me to be a blessing to you. Here you'll find specially chosen podcasts from my site to encourage you #StayOnTheWall.

Fear thrives in silence and confusion. Ana Navarro rejects both. Her voice is an antidote to today’s chaos. Her new podcast, Bleep! with Ana Navarro, takes on today’s most pressing issues with the voices most connected to it: decision-makers, political leaders, cultural shapers, and people on the frontlines of the story. The conversations acknowledge the emotions we all feel—despair, sadness, fear— but emerge with knowledge, perspective, and hope. The belief is simple: fearless dialogue can transform fear into courage, and courage into change. When fear dominates the headlines, this show digs deeper. Because information, debate, and conversation don’t just ease fear, they give us power to shape the future.
