    Sowing and reaping cuss words

    Send me a Text Message or ask a question. — Jerrie What if the greatest damage in your relationships isn’t caused by what happens—but by what’s said?  In this episode, we take a look at the words we use in marriage, politics, and even in faith conversations—and how those words follow an unchanging law: you reap what you sow.  If you’ve ever wondered why conflict escalates instead of heals, this discussion may challenge you to rethink not just what you say—but what you’re planting.

    A porch, a podcast, and 100 mustard seeds

    Send me a Text Message or ask a question. — Jerrie Ninety-nine episodes ago, Gleaning Mustard Seeds began with a simple idea suggested by members of our family.  In this special milestone episode, I'm joined by our daughter, Christi, and our grandson, Braden, who first encouraged me to start the podcast.  They reflect on how it began, the joy it's brought, and the impact these conversations are having on listeners.  If you’ve ever wished you could sit in a rocking chair on a porch in the Smoky Mountains and listen to stories that make you think, grow, and smile, this episode invites you to pull up a chair.

    Is my picture printed here?

    Send me a Text Message or ask a question. — Jerrie If a faithful member of your congregation quietly disappeared for three weeks, would we even notice — or would we only notice when it was time to print a new directory?If you went missing from your church today, how many weeks would pass before someone filed a "spiritual missing persons report”?Are we functioning more like a gym or Walmart — serving those who show up — or like the body of Christ that searches for its missing members?What’s more tragic: the member who stops attending, or the congregation that waits until someone’s "deleted" from the directory to notice they’re gone?Steve Cummings Email:  sdjquad@gmail.com Phone:  (615) 516-1364 As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.

    A dose of humility

    Send me a Text Message or ask a question. — Jerrie In this episode, I tell the story of a moment that’s stayed with me for more than forty-five years—a simple comment from a friend that exposed a blind spot I didn’t know I had.  I thought I understood humility. I preached about it. Quoted it. Admired it.  But one honest sentence from a friend made me see myself more clearly than any compliment I ever had. If you’ve ever needed a gentle correction—or been grateful for a friend brave enough to give one—this episode is for you…. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.

  6. Where do I find the time to do what I need to do?

    Where do I find the time to do what I need to do?

    Send me a Text Message or ask a question. — Jerrie Most of us don’t struggle with laziness—we struggle with too many meaningful things to do and not enough hours to do them.  In this episode, I tell the story of a day when ministry duties, family needs, study, and hospital waiting rooms collided—and the prayer that reshaped my approach to time ever since.  If you’ve ever wondered how to choose wisely, refuse kindly, and end the day at peace with what you did (and didn’t) do, this conversation’ll give you a simple, practical philosophy for putting first things first.

    Do you have a head elder?

    Send me a Text Message or ask a question. — Jerrie Every eldership says it believes in shared leadership—until one man’s voice consistently ends the discussion. In this episode, Do You Have a Head Elder?, I name a dynamic most churches recognize but rarely confront: the leader of the leaders.  Sometimes he’s kind and life-giving.  Other times he’s controlling, wounded, or quietly corrosive—and the group helps him stay that way.  If you’ve ever left a meeting knowing decisions were settled before discussion began, this episode may explain why—and what it would take to change it.        Between Preachers When you find a "mustard seed," please share the address of this podcast with a friend: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2369804/episodes/17566838 Website for Braden Parsons Photography Braden Parsons' email:  bradencparsons@gmail.com If you'd like to discuss your roofing needs, call Jerrie Wayne Barber, II, at 931.628.3390  This podcast is brought to you in conjunction with the Ministry League Network.

    People who planted mustard seeds

    Send me a Text Message or ask a question. — Jerrie Most of the people who changed my life never tried to. They weren’t aiming to be memorable or influential—they were simply doing what came naturally.  In this episode, I reflect on the men and women who planted small mustard seeds in my life and opened doors I didn’t know existed.  Decades later, their influence continues to grow.        Between Preachers When you find a "mustard seed," please share the address of this podcast with a friend: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2369804/episodes/17566838 Website for Braden Parsons Photography Braden Parsons' email:  bradencparsons@gmail.com If you'd like to discuss your roofing needs, call Jerrie Wayne Barber, II, at 931.628.3390  This podcast is brought to you in conjunction with the Ministry League Network.
