Welcome to the InTouch Podcast with Charles Stanley for Wednesday, January 18.

Have you ever felt so discouraged that despair seemed normal?

Today's podcast encourages you to lean on God and His sustaining grace for the motivation

to endure and thrive.

Many, many people will go to church and maybe you happen to be one of those people.

You go to church and you'll sit in the pew or the seat.

You may even care Bible with you, but most people don't.

You listen to a sermon of some sort, have a how long, or how short it may be.

And you'll walk away and if somebody asks you, what truth did you get today that'll sustain

you in the coming week?

I wonder what your answer would be.

Would you have to say, well, I know I heard, I heard every bit of it.

I know I heard it.

But I don't know that I can answer your question.

That's a little too personal.

No, you didn't get it.

That's the issue.

Or there wasn't anything to get.

It can be the one.

Think about this.

As a child of God, you have access to you in the presence of the Holy Spirit and the power

of the Spirit of God within you.
