Be Encouraged with Bishop Julius C. Trimble
Podcast Description
Hi this is Bishop Julius C Trimble.
I have a mission “to encourage all people with the love of Jesus Christ to rise to their highest potential” - in short, to be encouraged.
I get encouraged when I hear stories of good news. It could be a gospel story like Jesus encouraging Zacchaeus about going to his house or one of our United Methodist Churches serving the needs of the homeless in their community or even the laughter of my own granddaughter.
I am compelled by Jesus to share with you an encouraging word or two about Jesus, theology, the bible, the pandemic, the environment, racism, voting rights, human sexuality and state of the United Methodist Church.
I also think we rise to our highest potential when we listen and learn from others. I love to talk with be encouraged by having conversations with insightful experts who help make me better.
These are challenging times in our world and in our United Methodist Church to be sure and those matters need to be addressed. I just think we can talk about everything in the light of the overwhelming love of Jesus Christ and that is encouraging indeed.
So let’s talk.
Please let me encourage you to join me on my podcast.

In this powerful episode of the To Be Encouraged podcast, Rev. Dr. Brad Miller sits down with Bishop Julius C. Trimble to reflect on the life, legacy, and enduring impact of Reverend Jesse Jackson. The conversation traces Jackson’s countless contributions to social justice and civil rights, and explores the lessons today’s leaders can draw from his example.
Three Key Takeaways:
- Living Out a Gospel of Compassion
- Bishop Julius C. Trimble illuminates how Reverend Jackson deeply embodied the teachings of Matthew 25 and Luke 4—calling on leaders to make sure their ministries and community actions prioritize the needs of the poor, marginalized, and overlooked. Jackson’s focus was unwavering: “He believed there was no good news from the gospel unless it was also good news for the poor and for the disconnected and for the disrespected.” This episode encourages listeners to remember that true leadership and faith require standing up for those without a voice and reaching out in practical, compassionate ways.
- Building Broad Coalitions for Change
- Jackson’s vision of a unified movement—exemplified through organizations like the Rainbow Coalition and Operation PUSH—was about more than just diversity; it was about collective action for the common good. Bishop Julius C. Trimble explains how these coalitions brought together students, labor groups, rural communities, the LGBTQ+ community, and more to push for justice and equity. Modern leaders and everyday people are challenged here to collaborate across differences and not “apologize for celebrating diversity, for equity, for inclusion”—carrying forward the spirit of unity that Jackson championed.
- Taking Action: Voting, Advocacy, and Engagement
- Perhaps Jackson’s greatest legacy, as reflected in this discussion, is his call to action: not just to speak up, but to vote, run for office, and actively participate in democracy. Bishop Julius C. Trimble urges listeners to honor Jackson by registering to vote, supporting others in civic engagement, and even considering public service themselves. The episode highlights, too, that while Jackson’s example may seem extraordinary, the real work is in the everyday actions we take to advocate for the common good and the marginalized where we live.
This episode is both a tribute and a call to action—reminding us that the torch carried by Jesse Jackson continues to shine through all who choose compassion, unity, and bold engagement in their communities.
Listen now for inspiration on carrying the legacy forward!
