    Share Your Thoughts Scattered Moments — Moments Almanac | June 18 Held Up June 18 carries two stories four centuries apart — and they say the same thing. In 1546, a twenty-five-year-old woman named Anne Askew was convicted of heresy in London for believing what most Baptists believe about communion. She was racked in the Tower of London, carried to the stake on a chair because she could no longer walk, and burned. She never recanted. She never gave up a name. And from her prison cell she wrote words of pure worship — thou art my delight. In 1956, Dawson Trotman — founder of The Navigators — drowned at Schroon Lake, New York, while holding a young woman above water until the boat came back. Billy Graham preached his funeral and said, "Daws died the same way he lived — holding others up." Two lives. Two deaths. One posture. Today's scripture: John 15:13 Take heart. Notice the scattered moments. Share the grace.

    Wrecks... Like Us.

    Share Your Thoughts Wrecks Welcome There was a man in our accountability group years ago who made the rest of us look pretty good—or so I thought. For about three seconds. In this episode of Scattered Moments, Matt reflects on the difference between the wreckage everyone can see and the hidden struggles we work so hard to conceal. From public failures to private battles with pride, resentment, greed, and ambition, we discover that we're all standing on the same ground before God. Drawing from Psalm 130, this episode offers a gentle reminder that our hope is not found in our ability to keep it all together, but in the mercy of a Father who already knows our deepest secrets and still welcomes us with open arms. "If You, Lord, kept a record of sins, Lord, who could stand? But with You there is forgiveness..." — Psalm 130:3-4 If you've ever felt like a work in progress—or maybe even a wreck in progress—this episode is for you. Because at the foot of the cross, every sign reads the same: Wrecks Welcome.

    Share Your Thoughts What do a fiery preacher and a towering statue have in common? On this episode of Moments Almanac, we explore the birth of John Wesley on June 17, 1703, and the arrival of the Statue of Liberty in New York Harbor on June 17, 1885. One carried a spiritual flame that helped spark a worldwide revival. The other lifted a torch that welcomed generations seeking hope and a new beginning. Along the way, we reflect on Wesley's stirring challenge: "Give me one hundred preachers who fear nothing but sin and desire nothing but God..." From England's fields and village roads to America's harbor, these stories remind us that people have always longed for light, freedom, and purpose. Join us as we consider Christ's invitation to walk in the light that never fades. Scripture: John 8:12 "I am the light of the world. Anyone who follows me will never walk in the darkness but will have the light of life." #MomentsAlmanac #JohnWesley #StatueOfLiberty #ChurchHistory #ChristianHistory #ChristianPodcast #DailyDevotional #FaithAndHistory #John812 #SpiritualAwakening #HopeAndFreedom #MattTullos

    Share Your Thoughts 🦋 🌊 June 16 – The Storm and the Butterfly What does a butterfly have to do with the resurrection? And what can a storm-tossed ocean teach us about compassion? In this episode of Moments Almanac, we remember two remarkable stories connected to June 16. First, we meet Joseph Butler, the eighteenth-century bishop and apologist who challenged skeptics by pointing to the natural world itself. Looking at the transformation of a caterpillar into a butterfly, Butler saw evidence that God had written the pattern of resurrection into creation. Then we journey to Victorian England, where William and Catherine Booth began a partnership that would eventually become The Salvation Army. Inspired by a vision of a drowning world, they devoted their lives to rescuing the forgotten, feeding the hungry, and sharing the hope of Christ. From the wings of a butterfly to the waves of a stormy sea, this episode explores faith, resurrection, and the call to step into the needs of a hurting world. "Perhaps that's the invitation for us today: to see signs of God's grace all around us—and then to carry that grace to someone who needs it." Welcome to Moments Almanac, a time to remember the people, places, and events that leave fingerprints on the soul.

    Share Your Thoughts On this episode of Moments Almanac, we reflect on two stories connected by a common thread of compassion. Born on June 14, 1811, Harriet Beecher Stowe used her pen to awaken a nation's conscience, reminding readers of the humanity of those trapped in slavery. More than a century later, during the Titanic hearings of 1912, Second Officer Charles Lightoller spoke of "the law of human nature and Christian chivalry" as he described the principle of putting women and children first in the lifeboats. Together, these stories ask a timeless question: Will we see the needs of others above our own? Drawing from Galatians 6:2 and the example of Christ, this episode explores the Christian call to bear one another's burdens and to recognize the sacred worth of every person. Join us as we remember the people, places, and events that leave fingerprints on the soul.

    Share Your Thoughts What if growing older isn't supposed to make us cynical? On this episode of Moments Almanac, we remember two remarkable figures connected to June 13: Saint Anthony of Padua, remembered as the patron saint of lost things, and Christian writer Dorothy L. Sayers, whose faith-filled imagination continues to inspire readers around the world. Along the way, we explore what it means to recover the wonder, hope, and curiosity that life sometimes causes us to misplace. Drawing from Sayers' beautiful reflection on being "born again" every day and Paul's words in 2 Corinthians 4:16, this episode invites us to embrace God's daily work of renewal. Perhaps some of the most important things we lose can, by grace, be found again. Scripture: 2 Corinthians 4:16
