Moments Almanac Episodes

In this June 1 edition of the Scattered Moments Almanac, we reflect on the faithful mercies of God through the witness of Justin Martyr and the moving story behind the beloved hymn “Abide With Me.” Near the end of his life, weakened and weary, Henry Francis Lyte wrote words that would comfort generations: “Abide with me; fast falls the eventide…” Join us for Scripture, story, prayer, and quiet encouragement for the beginning of a new month. “Morning by morning new mercies I see.” Take care, ...

On this May 31 edition of Moments Almanac, we remember Mary's visit to Elizabeth and the joy that arrived before Jesus was even born.

More than anything, Chesterton taught people how to see. To find wond...

A quiet daily journey through faith, history, and grace. On May 28, 1738, John Wesley attended a small gathering on Aldersgate Street in London and experienced what he later described as his heart being “strangely warmed.” That quiet moment of assurance would help ignite a spiritual awakening that shaped generations of believers across England and America. In this edition of Scattered Moments Almanac, we reflect on grace that moves from the head to the heart, the road to Emmaus, a timeless po...
