June 15, 2026 | Moments Almanac | Josiah

Share Your Thoughts [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2602723/fan_mail/new] On this episode of Moments Almanac, we remember Josiah Henson, born June 15, 1789.  Born into slavery, he became a preacher, abolitionist, community builder, and advocate for freedom. His story reminds us that while we cannot always choose our circumstances, we can choose our character. Through faith, integrity, and perseverance, Josiah Henson overcame evil with good and left a legacy that still speaks today.

June 14, 2026 | Moments Almanac | Humanity

Share Your Thoughts [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2602723/fan_mail/new] 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 [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2602723/fan_mail/new] 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

June 12, 2026 | Moments Almanac | Injustice

Share Your Thoughts [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2602723/fan_mail/new] On June 12, 1929, Anne Frank was born. On June 12, 1963, Medgar Evers was murdered. One entered the world on this day. One left it. Yet both continue to speak. In this episode of Moments Almanac, we remember two lives shaped by courage in the face of hatred and injustice. From a hidden attic in Nazi-occupied Europe to a driveway in Jackson, Mississippi, Anne Frank and Medgar Evers remind us that even the smallest light can shine through the deepest darkness. Drawing from John 1:5 and the enduring hope of the Gospel, we'll reflect on what it means to carry Christ's light into a broken world—and why darkness never has the final word. "The light shines in the darkness, and yet the darkness did not overcome it." — John 1:5
