Auxano

Discouragement is more common than we think.

In this honest and practical message, Pastor Wisdom Elikem Sablah teaches on what to do when you feel discouraged - when courage feels drained, hope feels distant, and you’re tempted to give up.

Discouragement literally means “to take courage away.” And since we live life by courage - the courage to try, apply, speak, build, and keep going - losing it can feel paralyzing.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • You are not alone - even David, Elijah, Paul, and Jesus experienced deep moments of discouragement
  • Discouragement is a feeling, not a verdict
  • Why you must take your feelings to God, not away from Him
  • How the Word of God restores hope (Romans 15:4)
  • Why comparison drains strength and understanding seasons restores perspective
  • The power of speaking God’s Word over yourself
  • Why staying connected to people matters
  • The importance of rest in overwhelming seasons

Through scriptures like Psalm 42:5, 2 Corinthians 4:8–9, Isaiah 43, John 16:33, and Isaiah 40:31, this message reminds us that trouble may come — but despair does not have the final word.

The solution to discouragement is hope. And hope is found in Christ.

Be encouraged. Wake up. We go again. This season will pass — and joy will come in the morning.

Listen, reflect, and receive strength.

What is Auxano?

Auxano is a faith-centered community devoted to spiritual growth, renewal, and purposeful living.

The name Auxano is a Hebrew word meaning growth, increase, and becoming better — a powerful reflection of the vision behind this gathering. Inspired by scriptures such as Luke 2:40 and Colossians 1:10, this podcast is a space where believers are encouraged to grow stronger in spirit, deepen in wisdom, and increase in the knowledge of God.

Many of us love God and desire to walk closely with Him, yet life’s pressures can sometimes dim our spiritual flame. Auxano exists to rekindle that fire. Through prayer, teaching, sharing, and pastoral guidance, each episode creates an opportunity for revival, strengthening, and transformation.

Every session reflects our heartbeat:

Pray. Learn. Grow.

Join us weekly as we seek God together, grow in faith, and step boldly into the purpose He has called us to fulfill.
