Brief Word Podcast

Brief Word Podcast, is basically the perennial and ever popular emailed version which goes out about once every month to over 40 nations of the world. Brief Word, the eletter version has been going out for 16 years now. And I thank the Lord for His blessing.

The difference with the Brief Word Podcast, is that I’ll be reading it and with a little editing and additions from the email version. Plus other content as I feel so moved to do so.

It’ll come out every Monday morning at 5.00am New Zealand time and the reason for that, is so that folk can listen to it as they get ready for work or school or the day, or download it and prepare to listen to it in the car plane or train on the way to wherever. There’re many options for Brief Word Podcast. It’ll be available on the Spotify platform and archive visions can be accessed from there.

Each Brief Word Podcast, will be about five or six minutes long, so it’s not too long. Feel free to forward it or let your friends and family know so that we can get the word out.

From time to time, Brief Word Podcast, will actually be a full message of about 30 to 40 minutes long. But you’ll know the difference as soon as you download it.

So wherever you are in the world I pray Brief Word Podcast is a blessing to you.

May the Lord bless you and keep you, may His face shine upon you and give you peace.

It’s pretty clear that we need to be strong for the days we live in. But purely human strength will not cut it. We need a supernatural Divine strength which is above and beyond the realm in which we live.... Read more...

Awesome! So impressed (as always) with your brief words and Blog. Thoughtful, Insightful and Relevant.

Hi Stephen, thank you so much for the encouragement you sent to us. I received at an amazing moment when we were both going through an episode and I’d removed myself out of the firing line and retreated to the computer and there was this message, wonderful, thank you so much. Blessings.

Thanks heaps Steven. Your “Brief Word” is a great way to start my day and my focus!

I would like to tell you how this particular word affected my life. A few years ago I was feeling very low and couldn’t figure out what was wrong with me. It was like a black cloud had descended on me and no matter what I tried I couldn’t seem to shift it. And the Lord gave me this particular scripture, which I wrote out and carried in my pocket and repeated every time I put my hands on it. My depression and feelings of being very low and heavy left and I find myself often repeating this scripture and passing it on to others. I find this is a perfect prescription or antidote for depression. Regards

I am glad that Stephen Whitwell is putting his writings into print. There is a hunger today for people to be fed on the principals of Scripture and Stephen is doing just that. May these writings prove to be a help and a blessing to you too.
