Great Job Family Radio
Hello! How’re you all doing?
I don’t think this is actually an “official” encourage mint episode. But is it possible if you all could PLEASE post the recent Thanksgiving message from Tom Evans? It is so VERY encouraging, and I would REALLY like to send it to my friends.
Thank you so VERY MUCH! I’d REALLY greatly appreciate it!
Hi Raoul! We thought including Tom’s Thanksgiving message as an Encourage Mint episode was a wonderful idea! It was uploaded as the December 6th episode. Have a wonderful Christmas!
Hola es verdad la historia yo amo a Jesús y el existe y me guia paso a paso a donde dwvo de ir uw eiis los bendiga somos maa buenos que malos
Any way to get the story about the sailor dad who sacrificed his son?
Hi Ernie! I’ll ask the announcers for the story!
Hey Ernie! The story is up! It’s called “The Guest Minister.” It’s in the player above or here is the direct link https://www.familyradio.org/podcasts/encourage-mint?ppplayer=7d5a79a2f7fb6e2eb5cd49a7b1849cc6&ppepisode=436c09456a92b6b8b2f123582d8c4ad3
It might also be “South Pole Sacrifice.” If you go to the Encourage Mint main page and click on “Load More”, or use the Search Bar, you should be able to find it.
I loved the story today Jim Smith introduced (November 2) about a pastor who wrote a book and asks himself 3 questions when he has negative thoughts or doubts in our minds like “is it true, is it kind etc. I tried to find it again on the podcasts but couldn’t. Will it be put on the podcast site soon? I would like to share it with family members. I put the FR app on my phone so I can listen where ever I go now. Thank you for all the uplifting songs and programs. They really help in my Christian walk.
Wonderful storys
I’m looking for the story from a girl who started recognizing essential workers/unsung healers. Can you possibly find it?

It’s called “Now Live for the Both of Us”. If you go to the main Encourage Mint page and click on “Load More” at the bottom of the list, you can scroll down and find it there.
Alona, is that the Jimmy who went to Vietnam?
I would love to hear the story about the little boy who had to put down his old cow because she broke her back in childbirth.

Can you list the story that I heard yesterday on the fruit stand? Thanks.
Thanks for listening! The name of the fruit stand ENCOURAGE MINT is called Waiting In Line OR Standing in Line.
Sometime ago I deleted my email address from family radio. I would like to return it to you guys so I can continue to receive the daily scriptures I had been receiving. : )
Hello Guy,
We’d love to get you added back to our email list so you can receive the daily scripture. If you’ll contact our Listener Services team at requests@familyradio.org, they can take your email address and get it back into our system. Thanks so much!
Did you have an encouragement story regarding a fruit stand around December 17th?
Hello Peter,
I will request this from our announcers and let you know once it has been posted. Thank you so much for listening!

How do I find the story about Alice, one who like we all once were hated God was suddenly someone who desperately wanted to know God.
I would very much like to share with my community the story of Ann who “craved” the Bible. Could you help me find that story?

Email me – rzachary@familyradio.org, and I’ll send it to you.
Blessings!

I Thank YOU for family Radio and friends, and these Little Encouraging words.
Date 2/4/22 Friday
Time 10:03am
Thank you, Sister!
I try my best to listen all the stories, which I find can be very encouraging indeed.
How can I find the story about the man who went on a trip to Jerusalem and encouraged that young man in Patmos who was about to leave his wife?
Thank you so much for Family Radio. It is a blessing everyday! I do support the station, although not as much as I would like since I am now retired, but will continue to do what I can to support you!
I look forward to the stories and the Podcasts and like to pass them on or share them with friends and family.
Two stories I would like to do that with, and couldn’t seem to find in either the Podcast area or Encouragemint were: I thin it was titled One Cup of Rice, which would be a good one for sharing with the church for encouraging people in their giving and Tithing. The other was about Steinway making pianos during the war for supporting the Troops and giving them some comfort and encouragement.
Let me know if they had different titles ad that is why I can’t find them on your website.
Thank you again for your faithfulness to Jesus, and to spreading His love, and Mercy, and Grace all over the world!!!
God’s Richest Blessings on your continued Ministries!
Jim Kiiffner
Hi Jim. You can find the Steinway one here https://www.familyradio.org/podcasts/encourage-mint?ppplayer=7d5a79a2f7fb6e2eb5cd49a7b1849cc6&ppepisode=57a3ca2f3959100b76329fcf88d034f8
Hi.
I listen to Family Radio on my way to and from work. I love the encouragement stories. Would you happen to have transcripts for them? Would be nice to be able to read some of these encouraging stories during our Children’s Story section at my church.
Hi Diamie! So glad you like them. Unfortunately we don’t have transcripts available.
My tablet dropped off in the middle of a story about a young man named Chris who was delivering pizza to a church and they were taking up an offering for his tip (and that’s when it dropped off!). We never did hear the end of the story.
Hi Sue!
I’ve located the story you were looking for. We’re going to publish it as an Encourage-Mint episode soon so be on the lookout!
When it’s published, it will be at https://www.familyradio.org/podcasts/encourage-mint/

I listened to a delightful story about a singer/composer who rode in an uber and the song on the radio was his song he wrote and it really encouraged him – and after singing along with it the uber driver told him he needed to practice more.
Where can I find that to pass it along?
Just heard “Barefoot Bill and the Deacon” by Randy Zachary. I would love to know how to capture this so I can share it with our church small group of senior citizens. Is there a way to obtain the podcast link so I can send it via email to others who can benefit from this powerful story? Thanks for any help you can give me on how to do this.
I used the search function on the podcast player and found it. Here you go! https://www.familyradio.org/podcasts/encourage-mint?ppplayer=7d5a79a2f7fb6e2eb5cd49a7b1849cc6&ppepisode=17267e18e625e3b867403a1ab3d147f5
I LOVED listening to Randy Zackery . His stories were so interesting . They brougt tears to my eyes about his granddaughter Grace and grandson Luke . I will realy miss his stories as they will miss their OPA. I really don’t know what he looks like but after listening to these stories I was truly saddened to hear that he had passed but I know he is home with the Lord. I pray that you will continue to Broadcast his stories and legacy . Just as Bob Cook. Who I love listening to also. It would be great if you made a CD of his stories of Encouragement for sale . THANK YOU JESUS FOR RANDY ZACHERY !!
I would like the story of the young boy with a prothesis(?) who loved baseball. A teacher helped him learn to tie his shoes. And….. I would like my grandson’s baseball ..highschool…tell his team the story. How do I get that story?
Here is a direct link to the episode. https://encouragemint.libsyn.com/one-hand-pitcher-by-randy-zachary
Thank you so much for these. I often forward to believing and non-believing friends and associates because there is often so much “soul food” packed into an episode. I used to work for a government agency. While I was not allowed to “share” about Jesus, one episode reinforced the importance of a key “business principle” and that was to know the name of everyone in the organization, and not just the seemingly “important” people. By Family Radio being used by God to provide the. episode, I was able to push that specific episode out as a “business lesson” to the team that had no believers on it. Of course I put in a disclaimer, and explained my intent. …. learning how to treat people well in the market place. But I also asked believing friends to pray that the Lord would cause recipients to be curious to explore what else was on the FR page.. More than 35 years at my job and this was one of the best tools I ever had the privilege of having in my hands. God bless you all!
Wow! That’s so encouraging to hear! Thank you for sharing that with us. There’s nothing better than knowing our listeners are out there sharing the Gospel and hope of Christ with others!
I caught the story about two people living in two hemispheres and how it is like the light and dark of believers/unbelievers. Is there a transcript? Not sure if it was Encouragemint.
I love them all but 2 that stand out are….
The Baptismal pool, the Pastor and the garden hose.
The man with the treasured car and the rock that hit it!!!
GOD IS GOOD!!!
Thank you Family Radio!
Gina
The story of St… Nick, touch my hesrt ; God’s love is so amazing. Thank you for the gifts of grace.

Hi!
Please post the story that Jason told about the man who built and loaded crates for a missionary. During that time, his eyeglasses fell off. It was the exact prescription that the missionary needed.
Thanks!
Thanks for these little nuggets of wisdom to refresh us! The right message always seem to show up when I need it! Many Thanks for these!! God Bless the FR team 🙏
I am having difficulty finding the recent encourage mint episode about the young girl aspring pianist who could only play chopsticks,. I thought it was around May 22nd. Can you help me find it, please?
Thank you.
Hi, I am new to this page. Very encouraging. Serving Jesus daily is my desire. Jesus has done wonderd in my spirit and body, His story all his glory. Seaeching and listening to you. GOD BLESS
Growing up in church, I just thought it was a natural transition becoming a Sunday School teacher, leading the Youth Program, and the Adult Bible Study & Prayer. After all, my mom did all those things and enjoyed serving the Lord as well. What I forgot to consider was how God was using me and other teachers/leaders to let all those children and Bible Study folks know that God loves them and wants them to experience His perfect peace and receive His salvation.
Until one day when I was walking out of the mechanic shop, a young man from behind asked if my name was Hedy? “Well, that depends, who’s asking?” He then replied, “You don’t remember me, do you? I’m Matthew. I was in your Sunday School class a long time ago.” I stood and examined his face until those great dimples and his smile, reminded me of a little boy who was dropped off at church every Sunday morning/
“Yeah,” he said. “I’ll never forget telling you that I loved dump trucks, and the next thing I know, you pack us all up into your car and when we arrived at the Dump, you said wait here and walked into the office. Then a man drives one of the trucks out from behind and says,” “Jump in.”
I’m sure the look of astonishment covered my face as I replied not recalling the event. He said, “Oh yeah…I thought that was so cool.”
I have heard songs and stories that say this is what Heaven will look like. Filled with all those people that cross our paths here on earth with whom we can share the love of Christ.
This is why I am so grateful for Family Radio and these amazing bits of encouragement. They leave a mark on my heart each time that reminds me of God’s faithfulness and never-ending love. Thank you, Family Radio, for all your amazing people who encourage me as well as countless others to continue serving the Lord in whatever ways He has chosen for us!
Where can I get a book with these gems of Bite sized mints?
You’ll never know this side of heaven what your podcasts really mean to me. The encouraging words of wisdom are surely Holy Spirit led. Please don’t ever stop the work you are being used of God to do.
I listen all day?and even through the night on radio. 9-10 here in San Diego, CA.
Thank you thank you.
Keep listening and walking our faith out

I can’t tell you what an important example this is (Jason Frentsos on being humble).
I reached the age when I am struggling and this country reached the age when they are not going to. Deeper into the last days
