A Poem for the Walnut Grove Podcast – Celebrating Year Two

Two years of roots grown deep in grace, Of truth proclaimed from place to place, Of voices steady, kind, and sure— A gospel sound both rich and pure.

They opened John’s great book of light, Where Word made flesh broke through the night. They told of life from womb to breath— How God still weaves through life and death.

They faced the world’s most sacred strife, The worth of soul, the gift of life. With trembling hands and holy tone, They said: Each child is His alone.

Through pain and loss, through tear and song, They showed that faith still stands strong. That suffering, though hard to bear, Becomes a place where God meets there.

They sought God’s will through every test— Not in confusion, but in rest. In purpose, guidance, sovereignty— They found His heart, and helped us see.

They spoke of anger, right and wrong, Of tempers short and mercies long. Of Saul and Samuel’s shadowed hour, Of witches, fear, and fading power.

They talked of death—and what’s beyond, Of heaven’s gate and Christ’s dear bond. They said, Fear not!—for love is near, And perfect love drives out our fear.

They called the church to stand and fight, To “suit up” strong in armor bright. To wield the Word, the Spirit’s flame, And bear the banner of His name.

They taught of light that will not fade, Of freedom won, of debts repaid. Of hearts forgiven, spirits freed, Of purpose born from grace and need.

They spoke of friends—the kind that stay, When storms of life don’t go away. Of love that laughs, and truth that binds, Of mercy strong and hearts aligned.

And when the hymns began to rise, Their voices joined beyond the skies. Through words and melody combined, The saints of old and new entwined.

So here’s to years of faith well sown, Of seeds of truth the Spirit’s grown. To Tim and John—whose steady tone Has helped the weary find their home.

Two years beneath the Walnut Grove— Where gospel roots and friendship grow. And if the Lord should grant year three, May His Word still set captives free.
