Share Your Thoughts [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2602723/fan_mail/new] On this June 4 edition of Moments Almanac, we remember a day marked by both courage and contemplation. We begin with Winston Churchill's stirring call to perseverance during one of the darkest days of World War II. We then journey to the village of Bethany, where Martha and Mary remind us that while service matters, there is a "better part" found in simply sitting at the feet of Jesus. Along the way, we celebrate the birth of beloved poet Patience Strong and reflect on her beautiful words: "At the gate that swings between this world and the world above, stands the angel of God's mercy with the lamp of love." In a world that urges us to hurry, produce, and strive, today's episode offers a gentle invitation to pause, listen, and receive the mercy that is new every morning. Scripture: Luke 10:38–42; Lamentations 3:22–23 Theme: Choosing the better part—presence before productivity.

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

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.
