About this episode

Friends, we understand all too well that life can be so hard sometimes. It doesn’t take much to leave us feeling hopeless, confused and exhausted. 


We wonder what God has to say about what we’re going through, but sometimes just getting through the day is hard enough.


That’s why Proverbs 31 Ministries created The Encouragement for Today Podcast — so you can start your day with a biblical perspective you can carry with you no matter what lies ahead. 


Subscribe today to start listening to our short devotions and experience a few moments with God. Each week you’ll hear a new devotion and experience compassion and insight from our friends as you seek guidance in your relationships, work and daily life.
