Encouragement-filled episodes from the Makin’ Macon podcast
Have you ever wondered if what you’re doing is really making a difference? Not the big moments, but the everyday ones. The prayers whispered while folding laundry, the attitudes we try to catch before they slip out, and the small decisions no one else sees. There’s a quiet influence in a mother’s faith that shapes…
Have you ever gotten into a disagreement… and later realized it all started with something small? Not something big. Not something serious. Just… something that felt off in the moment. Maybe it was a tone. A look. A text that didn’t land right. And before you knew it, your peace was gone. That’s what we’re…
Have you ever walked into a room to do something… and then completely forgotten why you were there? You stand there for a second, trying to retrace your steps. Maybe something distracted you along the way. Maybe someone called your name. Maybe your phone buzzed and pulled your attention somewhere else. Before you know it,…

Have you ever had one of those moments where you just stop and think… “I don’t know how I’m going to do all of this.” Not in a dramatic way. Just… real. That kind of tired that sits a little deeper. The kind where your mind is running through everything that needs to be done,…

The to-do list is long. The schedule is packed. The emotions are heavy. And in the middle of it all, the Lord is whispering a simple but powerful phrase: Be still.
