We don't need the perfect words to encourage someone—just the willingness to show up. In this episode, Dr. Stanley shares a story from his teen years that left a mark on his life and ministry. After that, we'll move into guided prayer to reflect on encouragement in our own life—and how it can transform the lives of those around us.

A monthly podcast to help you experience God's presence more fully through His Word. Each episode features Dr. Charles Stanley's teaching, content from the In Touch devotional, and a guided prayer experience designed to meet you in the midst of real life.

Warm, conversational, and honest—no performance, no pretending everything's easy. Just an invitation to grow closer to God, beginning where you are today.
