Connecting today's believers in Christ with the treasures of our past
Episode 129 recounts Walt’s adventure of seeing a total solar eclipse from northern Ohio in April of 2024. The episode explores the comparison of seeing photos of a total solar eclipse with actually seeing one live.
The comparison is extended for those of us who believe in Christ. We know of Him incompletely in this life. What will it be like to see Him, with our own eyes, face-to-face?
Episode 128 centers on a study of Psalm 46. I had the privilege of teaching the study during the week that I stayed at a Hospitality House, nicknamed the Hangar, in Landscheid, Germany. The Hangar is an outreach of Cadence International, a mission organization which focuses on the needs of the military. They can be found at https://cadence.org/. The website for the Hangar is located at https://cadence.org/ministry/the-hangar/ .
Episode 127 explores an example of cross-referencing meditation on the Bible. While reflecting on one passage, other passages can provide deeper insight and show us a more, full-orbed view of the Scriptures.

Episode 126 is an exploration of the Gospel accounts of what happened when Christ encountered the dead. Dead doesn’t stay dead. This has far-reaching and staggering implications for the life of every human being, both for now and into eternity.
The picture is that of a painting depicting the raising to life of the son of the widow of Nain.
