  1. Earl and Pearl's First Sojourn

    3d ago

    Earl and Pearl's First Sojourn

    Send us Fan Mail Today we join Earl and Pearl Traveler as they embark on their very first Sojourn. Excitement is running high as they arrive to help prepare for Vacation Bible School at the Friendly Church of Christ. For Earl, the week brings an extra honor as he serves as a first-time Co-Team Leader alongside Team Leader Larry Little. Along the way there are paint projects, repairs, decorations, new friendships, a missing screwdriver that wasn't really missing, and plenty of opportunities to serve. Yet as often happens on a Sojourn, the most important work has very little to do with tools, paintbrushes, or classroom decorations. It begins with a simple conversation, grows through kindness and encouragement, and leaves a lasting impact on a young boy named Buddy, a searching family, and everyone who witnesses the power of caring for others.

  3. Earl and Pearl Checking the Little Things.

    Earl and Pearl Checking the Little Things.

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode we’re taking a lighthearted ride through one of life’s most relatable adventures... forgetting the little things. Whether you’ve ever driven off with the power cord still plugged in, left the antenna up, or discovered somthing else you forgot, you’re in good company.   Earl and Pearl are back, and this time, their first official Sojourn rollout from Camp Bee becomes a rolling reminder that sometimes the smallest oversights can create the biggest memories. But beyond the laughs, today’s story also points us toward something deeper. In our walk with Christ, it’s often not the giant failures that trip us up first. More often, it’s the little neglected things... a skipped prayer, an unopened Bible, an unkind word, or a blessing left unnoticed. So buckle up, double check the checklist, and join us as we laugh, learn, and remember why both on the road and in faith, the little things matter more than we often realize.

    Introducing New Sojourners, Earl and Pearl Traveler, Miles the Poodle, and Miss Gypsy the Orange Tabby

    Send us Fan Mail Join us as we meet Green Dots Earl and Pearl Traveler, along with their trusty companions, Miles the poodle and Miss Gypsy the orange tabby, as they experience one of the great rites of passage for every Sojourner: arriving at camp, finding your spot, and discovering that parking a big rig under pressure may require prayer, patience, and preferably Pearl giving directions. This is the unforgettable tale of enthusiasm, confusion, community laughter, and one poor Area A sign that never saw it coming. So grab your favorite road snack, settle into your camp chair, and get ready to laugh, because sometimes the road to belonging begins with a wrong turn and a very memorable CRRRRRUNCH. Welcome to Earl Traveler and the Great Area A Sign Flattening at Camp Bee. Let’s hit the road.

From understanding stopping distances and blind spots to preparing for weather, road conditions, and the unexpected, every thoughtful decision helps us travel safely and confidently. Whether we are seasoned road travelers or just beginning the journey, wise driving helps ensure that our purpose is never sidelined by preventable mistakes.

    A Town With a Funny Name

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode I explore the story behind the story of one of America's most unusual named cities.  We're going to learn about the story behind the name of the town, Toad Suck, Arkansas.  Yes… Toad. Suck. Now before you reach for the map to double-check, let me assure you, this is not a typo, a prank, or a dare gone wrong. This is a real place, with a real history, and a name that has confused travelers, amused locals, and raised eyebrows for generations. You might be wondering, who named it? Why did it stick? And perhaps most importantly… what exactly were they thinking?  Well, that’s exactly what we’re about to find out.

    Are We Hoping For or Hoping In

    Send us Fan Mail What happens when what we’re hoping for… doesn’t happen? In this episode of Travel With A Purpose, we explore the powerful difference between hoping for something and hoping in Someone. Drawing from 1 Peter 1:3–5, we’re reminded that while our circumstances may change, our hope does not have to. It’s natural to hope for better days, restored relationships, or answers to prayer. But when our hope is tied only to outcomes, it can feel fragile and uncertain. God offers something deeper, a living hope anchored in the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Join us as we discover how shifting our focus from what we’re hoping for to who we’re hoping in brings stability, peace, and confidence—no matter what we face. If you’ve ever felt discouraged when the journey doesn't unfold the way you expected, this episode will gently remind you: your hope is not lost… it’s secure. Because true hope isn’t found in outcomes, it’s found in Christ.
