About The Encouragers United Podcast

Encouragers United is high-octane positivity, with a Christian world-view. Optimism is the language and hope is the special ingredient added.

The content is inspiring because the good guys are making a positive difference in the lives of others. It’s one part interviews, another part solo teaching by Pastor Charlie Grimes, but all parts cheerful, upbeat and real.

Made for people who are high-energy and fun-loving, the goal is to bring a few minutes of warmth and happiness to listeners once a week.  

Set in Canton, OH in the present day, the world of Encouragers United is populated with many real life people, working as teachers, coaches, pastors and all shapes and sizes of gifted encouragers.

The Production

Encouragers United has been running since October 2018. Its first brand was called the “Christ-centered Athlete podcast”, and had over 1,000 downloads in more than 12 countries by the finale, and encouraged Christian coaches and athletes with biblical teaching and guidance for integrating faith and sport. Since then, we rebranded the show to it’s current vision, and its audience has continued to grow.

Encouragers United is a one-person production. It was created, and is maintained, written, hosted and produced by Pastor Charlie Grimes, former university faculty member, athletics coach, and administrator, in “Hall of Fame city” Canton, OH.
