Episode 132 explores some examples of those who are remembered more for what they were rather than what they became.
It is an important lesson for those of us who are followers of Christ. We are not what we once were. This episode provides us encouragement to see ourselves in light of what Christ is doing now in us, even if those around us might not see it yet.
Episode 131 provides a sample chapter from the audio book version of “The Capsule”. The chapter is a reflection on the gift and privilege of reading.
The book is available in paperback, e-book and audio book. A link to a “one stop” webpage showing the vendors selling the book can be found at https://books2read.com/thecapsule

Episode 130 centers on a discussion of the inner room, referred to by Christ in Matthew 6. Christ’s call to private prayer in an inner room of one’s house has an interesting 20th century parallel.
During Apollo missions to the Moon in the late 1960s and early 1970s, the lunar orbiting command module pilot was behind the Moon for half of each orbit. During that time, that lone astronaut was cut off from communication with Earth and even his fellow astronauts of the surface of the Moon. During those times of “loss of signal”, the Command Module capsule became humanity’s ultimate “inner room.”
Walt’s new book, “The Capsule”, looks to this and other aspects of those Apollo-era missions to explore insights of how those aspects can be adapted to our time in the “inner room” to spend time in solitude with Christ.
The book’s release date is October 18, 2024. “The Capsule” is available for pre-order before that date. Please go to

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/ .
