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

Share Your Thoughts [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2602723/fan_mail/new] What do an ancient encourager, a modern ocean explorer, and a timeless proverb have in common? On this June 11 edition of Moments Almanac, we remember Barnabas—the Son of Encouragement—and celebrate the birthday of Jacques Cousteau, whose journeys revealed the wonders hidden beneath the sea. Together, their stories remind us that the deepest journeys of life and faith are rarely made alone. Drawing from Proverbs 27:17, this episode explores the power of encouragement, friendship, forgiveness, and the companions God places beside us as we grow in Christ. "Iron sharpens iron, and one person sharpens another." Join us for a few reflective minutes as we consider what it means to go deeper—together. #MomentsAlmanac #Barnabas #JacquesCousteau #ChristianPodcast #FaithJourney #Encouragement #Proverbs2717 #ChurchHistory #DailyDevotional #GoDeeperTogether 🌊📖

Dogs, Fences and Finding Home

Share Your Thoughts [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2602723/fan_mail/new] What can two very different dogs teach us about the Christian life? In this episode of Scattered Moments, Matt Tullos shares the humorous story of Frank, a dachshund whose life mission was escaping every fence ever built, and Arthur, a faithful companion who had the freedom to go anywhere but simply wanted to stay close to the people he loved. Along the way, you'll discover a gentle truth about God's boundaries, our tendency to wander, and the surprising freedom found in abiding with Christ. Drawing from Jesus' invitation to "remain in me" and the timeless words of the hymn Come Thou Fount, this reflection explores the difference between running from God and resting in His love. If you've ever found yourself convinced that happiness was waiting just over the next fence, this episode is for you.

June 10, 2026 | Moments Almanac | Quiet

Share Your Thoughts [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2602723/fan_mail/new] The world celebrates noise, urgency, and constant activity. Scripture offers a different path. In this episode of Moments Almanac, we reflect on June 10 through the lens of a quiet and faithful life: Thomas à Kempis and reflect on Paul's gentle encouragement in 1 Thessalonians 4:11: "Seek to lead a quiet life." We'll reflect on the simple wisdom of Rich Mullins, and consider how God often does His deepest work not through applause or spectacle, but through ordinary faithfulness. The kingdom of God frequently advances one quiet prayer, one faithful act, and one obedient step at a time. Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 4:11–12 Welcome to Moments Almanac, a time to remember the people, places, and events that leave fingerprints on the soul.
