S2E2 It Begins with Wonder The Ground we Stand on in Genesis
The book of Genesis tells of the beginning of all things. There are plenty of rabbit trails to follow and places to get lost, but when we simply stand in awe and wonder, we can find perspective for our lives, especially when we feel like we are standing on the edge in life. This podcast aims to give encouragement, share hope from Scripture, and throw in a little art.

Not so Far Away in a Manger Lonely at Christmas
Переглядів 1021 день тому
Mary was not alone and neither are you as we head into the longest night of the year. A nativity set collection and some 18th century art inspire thoughts about feeling lonely at Christmas. The Christmas story from the Gospel of Luke sets the scene, we hear our loneliness expressed in the Psalms, and God answers through the prophet in Isaiah 443.

Are you wheat or are you chaff? Living on the edge means assessing where you are going to land. If we look deeper at John the Baptist’s Advent message from Luke 3, we might find something beyond black and white choices. Zephaniah 2 and 3 wrap up the message with a joyful song.

Переглядів 8Місяць тому
As we begin Advent, we also begin looking at the Gospel of Luke and his particular focus. Vin this podcast we talk about Mary’s house and the telling of her story to gain perspective on our own lives, and how sometimes we need a little time and space to understand things fully.
S1 E9 Failure and Chrismons
Переглядів 25Місяць тому
Chrismons, or Christ symbols, are traditionally used as Christmas ornaments, but they can inspire us through seasons of need all year long, especially when we experience failure. Romans 8:26 reminds us that sometimes our prayers are wordless, so maybe they can take the form of Jesus symbols this Christmas.
S1E8 Zachariah, the Christmas Prequel
Переглядів 7Місяць тому
Zachariah was the first to learn about the great changes God had in store for the world - Christ was coming. Before we start drowning in jolly Christmas songs, we’ll learn about the one that was sung before it all began. God is at work and waiting is worth it. Luke 1:5-25 and 67-79 are the texts for this podcast.

In the season of Halloween and a contentious presidential election, we get some perspective on evil and the devil, cutting through the legends and the folklore to find what we need. We widen the lens on James 4:7 and 1 Peter 5:8 for encouragement to protect ourselves when we are vulnerable in life’s in-betweens.
S1E4 Yarn and Chaos
Переглядів 262 місяці тому
Sometimes we have to resist the urge to clean up and calm things down. God creates in chaos, so sometimes living on the edge means living in chaos. Stella shares Psalm 42 and Genesis 1 to give us peace and perspective when we are restless in life’s mess.

Rev. Stella Burkhalter shares stories of her transition to ranch life near Art, Texas. She draws on Scripture and her experience as a Methodist pastor, teacher, blogger and artist to encourage people in going through change, just barely holding on, or not yet where they want to be in life and faith.
I am so blessed by your insightful podcasts that inspire me to seek deeper meaning in scripture. And, yes, the AGMC is in a period of waiting for a new home. We can't wait to see what God has in store for us!
I love the idea of Advent prayer stations! ❤ 2:37
Once you find your new home, hang this in your office to remind yourself of the past bruises, but also to remind you of how much God has healed those bruises and guided you to your new home.
You need to call the “ranch” EDEN’S GATE - because you are preparing to enter Eden. ❤❤
Thanks for these videos! ❤️
