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.

June 9, 2026 | Moments Almanac | Missionary

Share Your Thoughts [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2602723/fan_mail/new] June 9 — Columba of Iona & William Carey: The Gospel Goes Further On June 9, we remember two missionaries separated by more than a thousand years but united by the same calling. Columba of Iona left the shores of Ireland in the sixth century and carried the light of Christ to the rugged lands of Scotland. From a small monastery on the island of Iona, the gospel spread across a nation and beyond. More than a millennium later, Baptist missionary William Carey crossed oceans to India with a burden for those who had never heard the name of Jesus. A cobbler, pastor, translator, educator, and reformer, Carey helped ignite the modern missionary movement and inspired generations to carry the gospel to the ends of the earth. Different centuries. Different lands. One mission: that the good news of Jesus Christ would reach every people and every place. In this episode of Moments Almanac, we reflect on the faith, perseverance, and missionary vision of these two remarkable servants of God, and we are reminded that whether across the sea or across the street, Christ still calls His people to carry His light into the world. 📖 Scripture: Romans 10:15 "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news."
