# What Motivates You?

**Publisher’s Note**

Over the past 18 months we have had the opportunity to share each Wednesday through our social media a “Midweek Motivation.” The idea behind this was to give you, our *Birmingham Christian Family(BCF)* community, a snippet of encouragement as you face the challenges of everyday life. We have compiled some wonderful words of encouragement for you!

If you are feeling a little low as you start off 2026 or just need a little boost- take a moment to hear from so many of our BCF friends sharing what helps them not only get through the week but also see all of God’s best in it!

[Click here or watch the video compilation of Midweek Motivation quotes](https://youtu.be/rWpHQuIkofg).   
  
And remember to check us out every Wednesday for the latest encouragement on our social pages- including [Facebook @BirminghamChristianFamily](http://www.facebook.com/birminghamchristianfamily), [Instagram @cfpbirmingham](http://www.instagram.com/cfpbirmingham), and [LinkedIn @BirminghamChristianFamily](https://www.linkedin.com/company/birmingham-christian-familyinc/).

God’s Best to You in 2026!
