A porch, a podcast, and 100 mustard seeds

The man who didn't tell my father

Send me a Text Message or ask a question. — Jerrie [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2369804/fan_mail/new] Sometimes the most lasting lessons come from moments that began in mischief.  In this episode, Go to him alone: a childhood lesson in Matthew 18, I share a story from my early school days—one involving rocks, hubcaps, and an unexpected teacher.  What started as innocent fun became a vivid reminder of how Jesus calls us to address wrongdoing with truth and compassion, one person at a time.  It’s a simple story, but one that still echoes more than seventy years later.

How to fuss fair in the family 1

Send me a Text Message or ask a question. — Jerrie [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2369804/fan_mail/new] Are you damaging your marriage or family every time you argue — and don’t even realize it? Have you ever said “nothing’s wrong” when something was very wrong… and it only made things worse? Do your arguments end with understanding… or with hurt feelings that never really go away? Could one simple change in the way you argue completely change the atmosphere in your home?

Sowing and reaping cuss words

Send me a Text Message or ask a question. — Jerrie [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2369804/fan_mail/new] 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 [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2369804/fan_mail/new] 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.
