Episode 8: Rich Toward God—Freedom From the Lie of More

In a world that tells us to build fences and walls, Jesus invites us to build tables.

This episode journeys through the parable of the rich fool (Luke 12:13–21), exposing the lie that more is ever enough. We reflect on how true richness is found not in possessions, but in relationship—with God and with others. This is a call to break free from fear-driven accumulation and lean into trust, community, and sacred generosity.

🌿 Whether you’re tempted by “just a little more” or longing for peace in simplicity, this episode speaks gently to the wilderness within us all.

🔑 Key Takeaways

1. Abundance without purpose leads to emptiness. The rich fool stored up goods but neglected his soul.

2. Generosity disrupts the cycle of scarcity. When we share with others, we make room for God’s provision to flow.

3. God's economy is measured by love, not excess. Being rich toward God means letting our lives reflect compassion and trust.

   
   

   💛 Gentle Invitation to Action

This week, take one intentional step toward being "rich toward God":

• Share something of value (time, resources, or presence) with someone in need.

• Reflect on an area where “more” has become a distraction.

• Set aside 5 quiet minutes daily to thank God for what is already enough.

Episode 7: The Lord’s Prayer — A Cry for Liberation (Freedom in Christ for the Oppressed)
The Old Gray Moose: Short Devotions for the Wilderness Journey
✨ A few quiet minutes. ✝️ One sacred Word. 🌿 A moment of grace.

What if the Lord’s Prayer wasn’t just a familiar ritual—but a powerful, prophetic prayer for the weary, the wounded, and the ones longing to be free?

In this episode, Rev. Ana walks us line by line through the Lord’s Prayer—not as a quiet tradition, but as a courageous declaration of God’s justice, mercy, and nearness to those on the margins. Each phrase becomes a call to action, a cry of hope, and a reminder that God’s kingdom is for the poor, the imprisoned, the forgotten, and the faithful alike.

📖 Featuring Scriptural reflections from:
– Isaiah 64:8 — “We are the clay, You are the potter.”
– Amos 5:24 — “Let justice roll like a river.”
– Luke 4:18 — “Freedom for the prisoners.”
– Micah 6:8 — “Act justly, love mercy, walk humbly.”
– Psalm 136, Colossians 3:13, and more…

This is a prayer of courage, not comfort.
A blueprint for healing, not hiding.
A holy cry for liberation—spoken not in isolation, but in solidarity with every soul yearning for peace and wholeness.

🕊️ In this sacred reflection, you’ll be invited to:

• Hear the Lord’s Prayer with fresh ears

• Encounter the God who delivers and defends

• Pray together as a community of faith and freedom-seekers

🎧 Whether you're walking through personal pain or lifting up the brokenness of the world around you, may this episode remind you:
You are not alone. Christ is near. And His kingdom is coming.

Episode 4: Render Unto God: The Christian Witness in a Shaken Democracy
🕊️ A Christ-centered reflection on power, division, and faithful witness in our time.

What does it mean to follow Christ faithfully in an age of political noise, deep division, and rising power? In this episode, we reflect on Jesus’ words:
“Render to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s” (Mark 12:17), and explore how they continue to shape the Christian witness in a shaken democracy.

Through Scripture, prayer, and quiet reflection, Rev. Ana (The Old Gray Moose) invites us to live with clarity, humility, and unwavering faith in the Kingdom that cannot be shaken.

✨ Key Takeaways:

• Give God your full allegiance—above politics, platforms, or comfort.

• You are a citizen of heaven, called to live as salt and light.

• Faithfulness means praying for leaders, defending the silenced, and planting peace in your community.

💡 Invitation to Action: This week:
🕊️ Pray for one leader you disagree with.
🕊️ Speak up for someone being silenced.
🕊️ Remember—your faith is shaped by the Cross, not the headlines.
