Find Yourself an Encourager!

Life is too uncertain, the battle too strong, and situations too stormy, to journey through it without an encourager or two or more!

This podcast episode looks at the biblical character of Barnabas and the host's personal experience and the recent loss of two amazing encouragers in his life, and the lives of others, Sister Ella Rhoads, and Sister Evangeline Rodenbush. Both of these precious ladies leave behind so many memories and a godly example worthy of emulation.

Sister Evangeline Rodenbush's celebration of life is happening the same day as the release of this podcast episode. She loved limitlessly, cared courageously, prayed perpetually, defended definitely, mentored meticulously, encouraged extravagantly, believed best, and was a forever friend, first-class! Let us faithfully follow her extraordinary example!

About the Podcast

Poitras Ponderings

Pause, Ponder, and Project

The Poitras family has many things in common. We speak. We write. We teach. We preach. We mentor. We lead. We counsel. We pray. We listen. We read. We learn. We encourage. We serve. We love. We interact. We enjoy. We hug. We each specialize in one or more of those areas but haven't got everything together. We strive! It makes for brilliant dynamics and a lot of fun. We are strong because we do life together.

But, in addition to all that. We pause. We ponder. We project.

It's a great mix we have in our lives. One more thing: we share. It's our joy to share the Poitras Ponderings!
