Encouraging Words from Charlie Gross

Our encouragement today comes from a Biblical concept. It really is the thought that counts! It's a matter of the heart! Listen to a few examples to see where this concept comes alive. And then of course, find ways to apply the thoughts in your life.

Our encouragement today comes from a very simple concept. It's simple but oh man, does it have powerful consequences. The concept is simply "changing your perspective." I give you a number of examples and then challenge you to discover your own!

Our encouragement today comes from an observation I made about God's proactive, positive nature. This podcast just might lift your spirits and help you to be proactively positive and loving. If it does, you'll be encouraged and changed!

Our encouragement today comes from an observation that my friend Dennis made about our uniqueness. It made me stop and think, so I hope it makes you stop and think, too. In an encouraging and hopeful way.

Our encouragement today comes from another observation about flash mobs. I originally posted encouragement by a flash mob in August of 2021 and I encourage you to listen to that one, too, but I have a second observation about the one who started flash mobs over 2000 years ago. Listen, follow, and be encouraged.

Our encouragement today comes from a simple little event in my iPhone calendar. You'll be surprised at what this little event got me to do and the deeper thinking I did on accountability. I don't mention it in the podcast, but you can be more productive in life by setting up more systems of accountability in your own life.

Our encouragement today comes from another encouragement from God to get up and do one thing! Just get busy and do one thing. You'll be pleasantly surprised at the power of doing one thing. Listen to the many supporting examples of doing one thing. Then, get busy with your own.

Our encouragement today comes from a dream or God whispering to me. God's Spirit turned my attitude upside down in a very good way! If you have a tendency to beat yourself up for your mistakes, listen to this podcast. It just may give you the boost you need to be encouraged.

Our encouragement today comes from an email I received from from the motivational speaker, Akash Karia. Instead of using resolutions for the new year, he uses a word or phrase to guide his actions. Listen to to what I chose. It will be challenging for me, but I know it will be rewarding.

Our encouragement today comes from a shocking statement made by Violet Crawley, the Dowager Countess of Grantham. Mrs. Crawley said, I'll be fine until I'm not. Listen to my reflections on this and be encouraged!

Our encouragement today comes from a short meditation I gave at the Christmas Eve service at West Grove Presbyterian Church on Christmas Eve in 2016. It still touches my heart in very powerful ways. My hope is that it touches your heart and changes your life!

Our encouragement today comes from a conversation with my three-and-a-half-year-old grandson Jacob. If you ever fear for our future leaders, fear no more. Listen to some logical and compassionate thinking from my grandson.

Our encouragement today comes from some recent thinking about my flaws, and the solutions to those flaws. This may be a rather crazy use of three of your minutes, but I think you can follow my logic. I just hope that it provides even a glimmer of encouragement for you.

Our encouragement today comes from some recent thinking about connections. This is my second go at the power and encouragement of connections. Guess it's an important topic. Hope you gain some new insights and encouragement.

Our encouragement today comes from an unusual place. The encouragement comes from a beautiful blue Opus 88 Koloro eye dropper fountain pen with a fine nib. You'll have to listen to see where I drew my encouragement. Have a delightfully encouraging week, no matter what.

Our encouragement today comes from some thinking about the tsunami of opportunities and possibilities before us. We live in a remarkable time where there is a veritable smorgasbord feast of things to experience. Come with me to think about them and also the balance of life.

Our encouragement today comes from some thinking about presence and attention. Even when I try hard to be present and pay attention, I fail. Listen to this saga of a train ride to Jim Thorpe PA and find some encouragement or at least some brutal honesty.

Our encouragement today comes from an observation I made after playing hard with my grandson today. It's an observation about experiencing life to its fullest (in my opinion). Listen and be encouraged to get in there, mix it up, and enjoy life.

Our encouragement today comes from an image I saw on Rt 41 between Lancaster PA and West Grove PA. It was a simple peace sign but it was in the delivery and it made me think. Then came a revolutionary idea from my Cousin about the power of COOPERATION. Listen and then share it.

Our encouragement today comes from an image I caught while playing on a playground with my grandson Jacob. It's a simple image, but it gave me great insights into God's open, caring, compassionate hand. I hope this little story encourages you too.

Our encouragement today comes from some simple quiet time on a Sunday afternoon. It's a joy to describe it for you. The challenge is finding your own sweet spot for recharging your batteries. Once you know it, name it and do it, you'll be glad you did. Listen to mine.

Our encouragement today comes from some of my past research into human competence. We all need clear guidance, information, feedback, proper tools, and incentives to do our work. We need environmental supports and the training to improve our repertory of behavior. Will you help raise the bar?

Our encouragement today comes from a very simple concept. The concept of gratefully receiving suggestions, wisdom, and interesting ideas from friends, spouses, relatives, or partners. Let me offer you a couple of examples and challenge you to think about your own life.
