The Things that Didn't Happen

Share Your Thoughts [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2602723/fan_mail/new] Some of God's greatest gifts arrive disguised as disappointments. In this deeply personal episode of Scattered Moments, we offer a prayer of gratitude—not for success, applause, or easy answers—but for the things that didn't happen. The job that never came. The promotion that never arrived. The plans that collapsed. The seasons of silence. The valleys of depression. The limitations that taught humility. The failures that drove us back to grace. Looking back across the years, we begin to see that many of the things we once called setbacks were actually invitations. Many of the closed doors were acts of mercy. Many of God's kindest answers sounded exactly like "No." Join us for a reflective spoken-word meditation on God's faithfulness in both the gifts He gives and the gifts He withholds. "Many of the things I called disasters were actually invitations. Many of the things I called setbacks were mercies in disguise." Take care, notice the scattered moments, and share the grace. 🌿 #ScatteredMoments #ChristianMeditation #Gratitude #FaithJourney #GodsGrace #SpokenWord #ChristianPodcast #Devotional #TrustGod #Thanksgiving #SpiritualFormation #PrayerLife

May 31, 2026 | Moments Almanac | Visitation

Share Your Thoughts [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2602723/fan_mail/new] On this May 31 edition of Moments Almanac, we remember Mary's visit to Elizabeth and the joy that arrived before Jesus was even born. We also pause to remember the victims of the Tulsa Race Massacre and the Johnstown Flood—sobering reminders that Christ entered a broken world very much like our own. Through Scripture, hymn, prayer, and reflection, we discover the enduring hope that Jesus brings and His promise to make all things new.

Small Towns, Small Beginnings

Share Your Thoughts [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2602723/fan_mail/new] We live in a world that celebrates the big, the famous, and the impressive. But God often chooses a different path. In this episode of Scattered Moments, we journey through some of history's most overlooked places—from Bethlehem and Nazareth to Tekoa and Tarsus—and discover how God has a habit of bringing extraordinary things from ordinary beginnings. Along the way, we'll visit the hometowns of people like Abraham Lincoln, Johnny Cash, George Washington Carver, Dolly Parton, and Alvin York, and consider what their stories—and the stories of Scripture—have in common. Perhaps the most important work God is doing today is not happening in a famous city or on a grand stage. Perhaps it's beginning quietly in a small town, a small church, a small act of obedience, or a heart that has not yet given up. Drawing from Zechariah's reminder not to "despise the day of small things," this reflection is an invitation to see your own life, calling, and circumstances through the eyes of faith. After all, God has always done some of His finest work in overlooked places. Scripture: Zechariah 4:10 Take care, notice the scattered moments, and share the grace.

May 30, 2026: Moments Almanac | Joan

Share Your Thoughts [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2602723/fan_mail/new] On May 30, 1431, a nineteen-year-old peasant girl from a small village in France was burned at the stake in the marketplace of Rouen. Her name was Joan of Arc. And her last word was not a cry of despair — but a name. Jesus. In this episode of the Moments Almanac, we pause at one of the most remarkable lives in Christian history. A young woman who heard the voice of God, obeyed at enormous cost, and faced her ending with a stillness that still defies explanation. Featuring Psalm 23:4, a lyric from the hymn Be Still My Soul, and voices from three centuries — Joan herself, George Bernard Shaw, and the poet John Donne — all bearing witness to the same unshakeable truth: Death, thou shalt die.
