Friends, welcome back to Ancient Truth for the Modern Heart!! I am thrilled you are here once again! This week we look further into God's beginnings...into freedom, justice, and peace. This week we look at hoe Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s actions and his own convitcions in his faith an in humans led him to remind us that action is not the absence of peace, and faith and love may yet be found, even in suffering. Please offer a moment of pause to remember this important work toward equality and justice. May we remember Dr. King's words as injustice and oppression are yet present and active. Be safe, my friends, and be well.

Genesis 1:1-5

Welcome, friends, to Ancient Truth for the Modern Heart! In this week's installment of our "In the Beginning...Again" series, we're having a look at some familiar fishermen who found a new road when they chose to follow a man who stepped into their boat. Simon Peter, Andrew, James, and John. The balance of their overnight struggle to catch fish had left their nets empty, and suddenly Jesus fills them. It is not about obedience, but about trust that Simon Peter puts down his net again. His reaction is not one of celebration, but of humility. This is one of the greatest lessons of all: within the struggle, God is present. That struggle, in that moment when all seems as though it was not worth the work, God shows us a new beginning...a new path. God bless you all, my friends. Love one another and speak hope from your heart.

Luke 5:1-11

Greetings, All!

Thank you for joining once again and for listening to Ancient Truth for the Modern Heart! Here in week 2 of our "In the Beginning...Again" series, we are exploring words from the prophet Isaiah. What we witness here is that God offers yet another call out of a darkness of sorts; one that repeats over and over again. Not the same as in Genesis, but a human darkness...a place of hurt and a place of loss. The words "But Now" offer a new beginning, because all the pain and struggle that came before...all of it was about to change with two simple words. Sometimes we all need a "but now," and my friends I tell you truly: we are in this together. Let your light shine brightly, and see that others shine as well. He has called You by name! You are loved!!

Hello, Friends!

In all ways and in all days, God is creating new beginnings for us. Where do we need those new beginnings in our own lives? how can we trust that God is listening? In this episode, we will talk about how God has worked in those spaces and continues to work, creating new beginnings in our lives and in the world all day, every day.

Welcome back to the Podcast in this Week of Joy!! In this episode, we will explore the third theme of Advent and the message of Joy. If you would like, you may follow along in your own bible with the scripture this episode is based on. In this episode, we will be diving a bit into Mary's visit with Elizabeth. More specifically, there is a moment of joy which swells up in Mary as she finds the words in her heart and speaks to God's love in her Magnificat; one of the earliest hymns celebrated in Christendom and one that is beautifully spoken. May you feel your heart lifted this week as we light the third Advent candle of 2025: the Candle of Joy!
