What if the quiet you’re hearing isn’t absence, but invitation? We open season two by stepping into 1 Samuel 3 and the tender moment God calls a sleepy apprentice by name. The word was rare, the lamps were still lit, the rituals kept going—yet clarity felt thin. From that ancient night, we draw a living guide for modern hearts that have learned the sound of notifications but forgotten the shape of holy interruption.

We trace Samuel’s missteps without shame. He runs to Eli because he hears a voice and assumes the familiar. It takes time, patience, and a wise nudge to teach him the simplest posture: “Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening.” That line becomes our compass. We don’t chase spectacle; we practice availability. We talk about recognizing God’s voice in ordinary moments—a line that lingers, a conversation that won’t let go, a verse that resurfaces when you need it most. We look at repetition not as redundancy but as mercy, the way truth returns until we are ready to receive it.

Along the way, we get practical. Start small. Make space for a sentence, not a performance. Notice recurring themes across scripture, conscience, and community. Trust that God plays the long game and isn’t offended by your learning curve. If God called Samuel four times, He can handle your hesitation. And if you’re weary or unsure, take heart: being human is not a defect. It’s the place where grace does its best work.

If the season ahead feels crowded or thin, join us as we practice a gentler way to listen. Subscribe, share this with a friend who could use some quiet courage, and leave a review to help others find the show. What simple line is echoing in your life right now?

Greetings, Friends!

Welcome to Episode 10 of the podcast, and I hope you are all well. In this final episode in the "In the Beginning...Again" series, we look into Revelation a little bit. Revelation is a book filled with so many images and so many things which we have feared and questioned...but what if it isn't all about the end of things, but is a beginning? What if it is happening now, because God is with us, and the end of fear and doubt is upon us because God is with us in our hearts and lives already? Let's talk about it!

Scripture:

Revelation 21:1-5

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 how Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s actions and his own convitcions in his faith and 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.

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!!

In this episode, we will be speaking to the love which God gifts to all of us and how we are called to spill that love out all over the place! This is the light which pulls us together; the light that holds every other flame steady and where all light meets. It is the feeling which warms our hearts and cools a fiery soul. I hope that you go forth to feel the light of love in your own life as we dive into this fourth week of Advent!
