    The Perfect Thump

    In this thought-provoking episode, we explore the relationship between uncertainty and confusion, and how our human tendency to worry can lead to anxiety. Drawing wisdom from Matthew and the Psalms, we are reminded of the importance of seeking the kingdom of God above all else, trusting that He knows our needs. The episode delves into the struggles of feeling abandoned or unheard, as expressed by David in Psalm 13, and emphasizes the value of returning to God with our concerns. Through heartfelt reflections, we learn that it's okay to struggle and cry out in anguish, as long as we continue to trust in God's unfailing love and His promise to deliver us. Listeners are encouraged to fix their thoughts on the Lord, who is our eternal rock, and find peace in His steadfast presence, even amidst life's uncertainties.

    Empty Nets

    Join us in this thought-provoking episode as we delve into the timeless story of Peter and Andrew, fishermen by trade, whose lives were transformed by a simple yet profound encounter with Jesus. We reflect on the imagery of empty nets and the deeper meaning they hold. We recount the moment when Jesus stepped into their boat, asking them to cast their nets once more . Their obedience led to a miraculous catch, symbolizing the shift from their old ways to a new purpose—fishing for the hearts of men. Through this narrative, we explore the themes of faith, trust, and divine direction. Discover how our own efforts, no matter how diligent, are ultimately guided by the Lord's hand. Learn to seek His guidance and trust in His timing, allowing Him to lead us to abundant blessings. This episode encourages us to cast aside our old nets and embrace the new ones, filled to overflowing by His grace. Amen.

    A Crumb is Enough

    Speaking with a new Christian, he was so moved by communion, he said, "I didn't just want a piece of bread, I wanted the entire loaf." We all hunger for love, for success, for perfection. I hunger for forgiveness. I hunger for a day when I won't need forgiveness. On more than one occasion, I have asked for the entire loaf. Big miracles from a really big God, deserving none of it. A Canaanite woman begged Jesus to heal her daughter. He answered. "Woman, you have great faith. Your request is granted." and her daughter was healed in that moment. Matthew chapter 15. To this woman, who was considered undesirable, a crumb was more than enough. When miracles do not arrive in the size and shape of my liking, I am discouraged and fail to be thankful for the crumb of blessing the Lord placed in my hand. A fever broken, pain subsiding, a peaceful night's sleep. I will continue to be persistent in prayer, asking for the entire loaf, but knowing a crumb is more than enough. Thank you, Lord.

    Dusty Days and Divine Grace

    Sitting in the same old spot, facing another day of monotony, a dry summer's dust settled around me. I grappled with the same struggles and whispered the same prayers, my heart weighed down by the past. As I stepped into the morning, a whirlwind of dust and memories engulfed me, pushing me to the edge. Troubled dreams from decades ago resurfaced, leaving me bruised and weary. Amidst the chaos, I cried out for peace, and it was then that Jesus took hold of me, calming the storm within. In the midst of life's tempests, I found solace in His presence. The winds may rage, but with Jesus as my anchor, I stood firm. Weakened but undeterred, I continued my journey, knowing that God clears the path ahead, His voice a constant reminder to 'Be still.'

    Walks in the Garden

    Awakened from a short night's sleep by a massive branch falling from an ancient live oak, with work boots and leather gloves on, the chainsaw's roar pierced the silence of the still sleeping world. Amidst the raucous rattle, I found a certain peace in my soul. All the noise that once seemed so important faded into the background of the task at hand. As the chainsaw paused, I found myself in a moment reminiscent of Genesis, hearing the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day. Time seemed to stand still as I walked and talked with God, realizing that all my worries were insignificant in the light of eternity. It took a mighty branch crashing down to turn my eyes back to Jesus.

    A Warrior's Resolve - Finding Strength in the Battle

    This episode focuses on a fierce battle involving a resilient woman and a daunting giant. Despite immense odds, the woman perseveres and continues to struggle, refusing to surrender.  As her strength wanes and her fellow warrior falters under the weight of disappointment. The embodiment of divine love, Jesus, responds to her doubts. His compassionate words enlighten her, reminding her that strength lies in divine love, and miracles are born from needing and loving each other genuinely. Jesus assures her, when she acknowledges her inability to carry her burdens alone, that Mountains only move when we push together. He communicates an enlightening truth, reminding her that strength is usually found in shared struggles and collective efforts. We often look for huge miracles in our lives and get disappointed when we don't find them. However, numerous small miracles occur around us that we often fail to appreciate. These seemingly trivial moments of grace - a restful sleep, a phone call from a worried child, or even a sweaty hug after a workout, are the small miracles that count. Closing with a prayer for healing, wholeness, blessings, strength and patience, this episode encourages everyone to appreciate every small miracle in their lives. The last section titled 'The Unravel', extends a request to its listeners to offer a moment of prayer for the warriors in their lives - those who are fighting their own personal battles. Tune in to this soul-stirring episode of faith, struggle, and life's little miracles, to find renewed strength and inspiration. Be blessed!
