    Advent 2: Elizabeth’s story of peace

    Today on The Momologian, we’re stepping into the Advent story through the eyes of someone who rarely gets the microphone — Elizabeth, the mother of John the Baptist. Her story is one of silence that startles, promises that unsettle, and a peace that arrives not because the world is calm, but because God shows up right in the middle of the storm. In this episode, we’ll explore what it means to carry hope in a world that feels occupied by fear, to trust God when nothing makes sense, and to discover a peace that isn’t fragile or passive — a peace that finds us even before we feel ready to receive it. If you’ve ever wondered where peace is supposed to live when life feels uncertain… if you’ve ever held both joy and trembling in the same breath… if you’re longing for a reminder that God’s shalom still breaks into weary places — this one’s for you.

    What child IS this?

    This week we begin the Advent season with a question at the heart of our hope: “What child is this?” Not a sentimental Christmas card version of Jesus, but the Christ who enters a world that feels—then and now—like the book of Lamentations: weary, anxious, grieving, longing for something better. In this episode, we explore how the birth of Jesus interrupts the shadow of empire with a defiant flicker of hope, and why Advent invites us not to escape the world’s pain but to look for God breaking into it. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by the news, exhausted by uncertainty, or wondering how hope fits into this moment of history, this message is for you. Let’s begin our journey into Advent together.

    Behold, I Am Making All Things New

    On this Thanksgiving and Reign of Christ Sunday, we turn to Isaiah’s breathtaking vision of a world made new — a world where joy overflows, children thrive, elders flourish, and peace is not imagined but lived. In a time when many of us feel weary, scattered, or discouraged, this sermon invites us to see gratitude not as sentiment, but as spiritual resistance — a way of proclaiming that despair will not have the final word. Standing on the threshold of Advent, we explore how God is already planting seeds of new creation in the midst of our uncertainty, and how practicing gratitude helps us join Christ in building a world of justice, compassion, abundance, and joy.

    Remembrance and Resurrection

    On this All Saints Sunday, Rev. Alicia Vélez Stewart invites us into the thin space between heaven and earth — where memory, grief, and hope intertwine. Drawing from 2 Corinthians 5:1–8, she reflects on Paul’s image of our earthly lives as “tents” — temporary, fragile, yet sacred places where God chooses to dwell. Through the wisdom of John Wesley and the witness of generations who have gone before us, this episode explores what it means to live as saints in our own time — not waiting for perfection, but daring to embody resurrection right here and now.

    Holy Ghost Stories: The House of the Dry Bones

    In this week’s Holy Ghost Story, we find ourselves at the edge of town — staring up at a house everyone thought was abandoned. The windows are dark, the air is still, and the stories say it’s haunted. But what if it’s not haunted by something to fear… but by the Spirit of God, still waiting to breathe life into what’s been forgotten? Inspired by Ezekiel’s vision of the dry bones, The House of Dry Bones is a story about renewal, courage, and faith in the face of desolation. It reminds us that what feels lifeless can still be revived, that God’s breath can still move through our communities, and that sometimes, resurrection begins when we find the courage to open the door. This episode invites us to see our faith, our churches, and even our weary hearts as places still haunted — not by ghosts of the past, but by the lingering presence of a living, loving God.

    Holy Ghost Stories: The Spirit Who Spoke “Too Loud”

    In this week’s Holy Ghost Story, we step into the crowded streets of Philippi, where a woman with a sacred gift dares to speak the truth too loudly. Her voice, filled with divine clarity, cuts through the noise — but her courage comes at a cost. Paul and Silas find themselves swept up in the aftermath of her silencing, imprisoned for disrupting a system built on profit and power. Yet even in the darkness of that prison cell, the Spirit refuses to stay quiet. Chains break. Hearts change. The gospel moves forward — through trembling voices and holy unrest. This episode invites us to listen for the voices we’ve ignored, to see the prophets we’ve overlooked, and to believe that the Spirit is still speaking — still breaking chains, still haunting the comfortable, still calling us toward freedom and truth.

    Holy Ghost Stories: The Man Among the Tombs

    This week, we follow Jesus across the water to a place no one wanted to go — the land of the tombs. It’s a chilling story of a man haunted by voices, chained and forgotten by his community… until Jesus steps ashore. In this second installment of Holy Ghost Stories, we’ll explore what happens when divine mercy meets human fear, when freedom is mistaken for danger, and when the one who was once cast out becomes the storyteller of grace. It’s a story about breaking chains, finding peace, and learning to tell what God has done for you.
