Today's passage reminds us that God already knows what we need, so worrying won't add anything to our lives—it only drains us. Jesus tells us not to get caught up chasing after food, clothing, or stuff that fades, but instead to seek the Kingdom, because that's the real treasure. I'll be honest, worry comes naturally to me—I tend to carry it for everyone—but Jesus' words are clear: worry can't fix a thing. What lasts is trusting God, living generously, and remembering it's the Father's good pleasure to give us the Kingdom.Shameless plug: here's a link to Method(ist) to the Madness, our new, hopefully entertaining podcast about church history. - https://methodisttothemadness.buzzsprout.com/Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

Today's passage reminds us that abundance isn't the problem—selfishness is. The rich man wasn't called a fool because his land produced a good crop, but because he used it only for himself. He built bigger barns instead of a bigger heart. That's the warning for us too: wealth, possessions, even security won't follow us past this life. In God's Kingdom, gold is just pavement. What lasts is being rich toward God—living generously, blessing others, using what we've been given to point people back to Him. So today, let's hold our blessings with open hands, ready to share, ready to bless, and ready to trust that God will provide.Shameless plug: here's a link to Method(ist) to the Madness, our new, hopefully entertaining podcast about church history. - https://methodisttothemadness.buzzsprout.com/Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

In Luke 12:1–12, Jesus reminds us that God sees everything, and yet still loves us. Hypocrisy hides nothing from him. Fear of people can't compare to trusting the One who knows the number of hairs on our head. Even sparrows matter to God—and we matter so much more. The Spirit convicts, forgives, and gives us words when we don't know what to say. So if you feel conviction today, don't run from it—that's God at work in you. Lean into his Spirit, rest in his love, and walk in his forgiveness.Shameless plug: here's a link to Method(ist) to the Madness, our new, hopefully entertaining podcast about church history. - https://methodisttothemadness.buzzsprout.com/Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

In this passage, Jesus calls out the Pharisees and lawyers for turning faith into a show and a burden. The Pharisees looked good on the outside but their hearts were empty, chasing respect and honor while neglecting justice and love. The lawyers made religion heavy, piling on rules instead of helping people draw near to God. Jesus warns us, too: don't let your faith become about appearances, and don't make following him harder than it needs to be. Real faith starts in the heart, flows into authentic love, and points people to the simple truth of the gospel—believe, confess, and follow Jesus.Shameless plug: here's a link to Method(ist) to the Madness, our new, hopefully entertaining podcast about church history. - https://methodisttothemadness.buzzsprout.com/Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

Jesus reminds us that our eyes reflect what's happening inside our hearts—if we're full of light, it will shine out, but if we're full of darkness, that will show too. Just like a lamp isn't meant to be hidden, the light of Christ in us is meant to be seen in our words, actions, and even the look in our eyes. We can't fake what's inside forever—bitterness, joy, peace, or love all eventually come through. The good news is that when Christ transforms our hearts, His light naturally shines out, like breathing does for the body. Today's challenge is simple: check your light. If your spark feels dim, go back to Jesus and let His love fill you again, so that His light can shine through you.Shameless plug: here's a link to Method(ist) to the Madness, our new, hopefully entertaining podcast about church history. - https://methodisttothemadness.buzzsprout.com/Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

In this passage, Jesus tells the crowds that no more signs will be given except the sign of Jonah—pointing to his own death and resurrection as the ultimate proof of God's power and love. Just like the Ninevites repented at Jonah's preaching and the Queen of Sheba sought out Solomon's wisdom, Jesus says that people outside of Israel showed more faith than those who had him standing right in front of them. For us, the message is clear: we don't need flashy signs or special confirmations—God has already given us the greatest sign in the resurrection. Often, we already know what God is calling us to do; the real step is trusting Him enough to obey. The peace we long for usually comes after obedience, not before.Shameless plug: here's a link to Method(ist) to the Madness, our new, hopefully entertaining podcast about church history. - https://methodisttothemadness.buzzsprout.com/Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

In this passage, Jesus warns that it's not enough to just cast out evil or avoid sin—if our lives remain empty, sin will creep back in even stronger. Instead, we're called to be filled with God's Word, Spirit, and love. When a woman praises Jesus' mother, he shifts the blessing to those who hear and obey God's Word, showing that true faith is about being transformed and filled, not just cleaned up on the outside. The Christian life isn't simply “do no harm,” but also “do good” and stay rooted in God's love. When we focus on the light—prayer, Scripture, acts of goodness—the darkness won't stand a chance.Shameless plug: here's a link to Method(ist) to the Madness, our new, hopefully entertaining podcast about church history. - https://methodisttothemadness.buzzsprout.com/Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

In Luke 11:14–23, Jesus casts out a demon, and while the miracle itself is brief, the real focus is on his teaching that follows. When accused of working by Satan's power, Jesus shows the absurdity of that claim—why would the devil fight against himself? Instead, he points to the truth: if this is the finger of God at work, then God's kingdom has come near. The Pharisees couldn't see it because they didn't like or expect the way God was moving through Jesus. That's the challenge for us too—are we willing to recognize God at work in unexpected people and places? If the fruit of the Spirit is there, then God's hand is moving, and our job is to join Him rather than resist.Shameless plug: here's a link to Method(ist) to the Madness, our new, hopefully entertaining podcast about church history. - https://methodisttothemadness.buzzsprout.com/Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

In Luke 11:5–13, Jesus reminds us of God's deep generosity and love. Just as earthly parents naturally give good gifts to their children, our heavenly Father—who is perfect—gives us something far greater: His very Spirit. This passage isn't about material blessings, but about receiving the presence, wisdom, and grace of God Himself. If our imperfect love for our children runs so deep, how much more must God's love overflow toward us? That truth changes everything. As we head into the weekend, let's rest in this: you are loved more than you can possibly imagine.Shameless plug: here's a link to Method(ist) to the Madness, our new, hopefully entertaining podcast about church history. - https://methodisttothemadness.buzzsprout.com/Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

The Lord's Prayer teaches us to depend on God for today's provision, to let forgiveness flow through us to others, and to remember that prayer can be both personal and shared.

In Luke 10:38–42, we meet Martha, busy with hosting duties, and Mary, sitting at Jesus' feet to listen. Martha deserves credit for welcoming Jesus, but she becomes so focused on her tasks that she misses the greater gift—being present with Him. While our work and responsibilities matter, Jesus reminds us that time with Him is the “better part.” Some of us naturally lean toward Mary, others toward Martha, but both are needed. The key is balance: Marthas must slow down to hear Jesus, and Marys must remember to serve as well. Ultimately, our greatest calling is to sit at Jesus' feet, because everything else flows from His presence.Shameless plug: here's a link to Method(ist) to the Madness, our new, hopefully entertaining podcast about church history. - https://methodisttothemadness.buzzsprout.com/Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

In Luke 10:25–37, Jesus answers the lawyer's question, “Who is my neighbor?” with the parable of the Good Samaritan, where the unlikely hero is not a priest or Levite but a Samaritan—an outsider despised by the Jews—who shows mercy to a wounded man. By making the Samaritan the model of neighbor-love, Jesus teaches that God's grace crosses every boundary and that true faith is measured not by ritual purity or status but by compassion in action. The challenge for us today is to see the “Samaritans” in our own lives—the people we'd least expect or most want to exclude—and to recognize that God loves them too. Jesus' command remains clear: “Go and do likewise.”Shameless plug: here's a link to Method(ist) to the Madness, our new, hopefully entertaining podcast about church history. - https://methodisttothemadness.buzzsprout.com/Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

In Luke 10:21–24, Jesus celebrates that God reveals His kingdom not to the “wise” but to the humble, and he reminds the disciples they are experiencing what prophets and kings longed to see. We, too, live in that blessing—with the Spirit within us, the Scriptures in our hands, and God's grace poured out in countless ways. Yet, like Israel forgetting after the Red Sea, we often lose sight of God's faithfulness. Jesus calls us to remember: it's not about our wisdom or merit, but God's gracious will. So today, let's rejoice—not in circumstances, but in the deeper gift that our names are written in heaven and God has called us His own.Shameless plug: here's a link to Method(ist) to the Madness, our new, hopefully entertaining podcast about church history. - https://methodisttothemadness.buzzsprout.com/Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

In a week marked by tragedy and anxiety, we're reminded that while we can't control the whole world, we can control how we respond—choosing good over despair. In Luke 10:17–20, when the seventy return celebrating their victories, Jesus affirms their mission but tells them not to rejoice in power over evil, but in the deeper truth that their names are written in heaven. Our identity isn't rooted in accomplishments, victories, or circumstances, but in belonging to Christ as beloved children of God. Every act of goodness—big or small—pushes back evil, but our true joy and stability come from knowing who we are in him.Shameless plug: here's a link to Method(ist) to the Madness, our new, hopefully entertaining podcast about church history. - https://methodisttothemadness.buzzsprout.com/Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

In Luke 10:13–16, Jesus pronounces woes on Chorazin, Bethsaida, and Capernaum—towns that witnessed his miracles yet rejected him—saying their judgment will be worse than for Israel's old enemies, Tyre and Sidon. The warning is clear: to reject Jesus' messengers is to reject Jesus himself, and to reject Jesus is to reject the Father. While God never stops reaching out in grace, repeated rejection hardens the heart until it can no longer respond. Every choice matters—each “no” makes the next one easier, but each “yes” keeps us open to God's Spirit. Jesus calls us to keep our hearts tender, responsive, and faithful, saying “yes” to him day by day.Shameless plug: here's a link to Method(ist) to the Madness, our new, hopefully entertaining podcast about church history. - https://methodisttothemadness.buzzsprout.com/Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

In Luke 10:1–12, Jesus sends out seventy followers to prepare the way for his coming, teaching them to travel lightly, offer peace, accept hospitality, and proclaim that God's kingdom has come near. His instructions highlight both dependence on God and adaptation to the culture they enter—reminding us that ministry isn't about standing apart but about living among people so the gospel can be heard. Just as Paul later connected with Greek culture at Mars Hill, we too are called to love our neighbors, build relationships, and share Christ in ways that show we genuinely care. True witness flows not from preaching at people, but from living with them in humility, love, and service.Shameless plug: here's a link to Method(ist) to the Madness, our new, hopefully entertaining podcast about church history. - https://methodisttothemadness.buzzsprout.com/Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

In Luke 9:57–62, Jesus challenges would-be followers who hesitate with excuses—whether comfort, family duties, or other priorities—and reminds them that discipleship is costly and urgent. His words may sound harsh, but they press us to see that there will always be reasons to delay obedience, and following him must come before everything else. Like choosing our highest priority in life, we're called to put Christ first, trusting that everything else flows from that decision.

In Luke 9:49–56, Jesus teaches his disciples two important lessons about doing good and responding to rejection. When they try to stop someone outside their group from casting out demons in his name, Jesus tells them not to—reminding them that anyone doing good is on their side. And when a Samaritan village rejects him, James and John want to call down fire in anger, but Jesus rebukes them and simply moves on. Together, these stories show us that true discipleship means celebrating good wherever we see it and extending love even to those who reject us, because Jesus' love is wide enough to embrace outsiders and enemies alike.Shameless plug: here's a link to Method(ist) to the Madness, our new, hopefully entertaining podcast about church history. - https://methodisttothemadness.buzzsprout.com/Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

In Luke 9:46–48, right after Jesus speaks of His coming betrayal, the disciples argue about who among them is greatest—a striking picture of human nature. Jesus responds by placing a child before them, showing that true greatness isn't found in power, rank, or recognition, but in humility and in welcoming the least and overlooked. In God's kingdom, greatness is measured not by status or wealth—what the world treasures most is as ordinary as pavement in heaven—but by service, love, and grace. Real greatness is found in following Jesus with humility and lifting up those society ignores.Shameless plug: here's a link to Method(ist) to the Madness, our new, hopefully entertaining podcast about church history. - https://methodisttothemadness.buzzsprout.com/Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

In Luke 9:37–45, Jesus heals a boy tormented by a spirit after the disciples could not, and the crowd marvels at God's greatness—but in that very moment of glory, Jesus warns his disciples that betrayal is near. It's a powerful reminder that life holds both mountaintops and valleys, and we can't live only for some distant “someday.” Every day is a gift from God, worthy of gratitude, faithfulness, and love. Like Jesus, who embraced the present even knowing what was coming, we are called to live fully today—cherishing our loved ones, seeking God, and savoring the grace given to us right now.Shameless plug: here's a link to Method(ist) to the Madness, our new, hopefully entertaining podcast about church history. - https://methodisttothemadness.buzzsprout.com/Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

In today's passage, the Transfiguration in Luke 9:28–36, we catch a glimpse of Jesus in his true glory, shining with majesty as Moses and Elijah stand beside him, representing the Law and the Prophets all pointing to him. Peter, overwhelmed, blurts out his idea to build shelters, but God interrupts with the heart of it all: “This is my Son, my Chosen; listen to him.” The disciples almost missed it because they were heavy with sleep, yet staying awake allowed them to see Jesus' glory — and that's the call for us too. In the middle of life's distractions and weariness, we need to stay alert, pay attention, and keep our eyes fixed on Christ, because everything — Scripture, faith, and life itself — finds its center in him.Shameless plug: here's a link to Method(ist) to the Madness, our new, hopefully entertaining podcast about church history. - https://methodisttothemadness.buzzsprout.com/Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

Today is more than just a break from work; it serves as a reminder of the deeper need for both physical and spiritual rest. Scripture illustrates this truth through the story of manna in the wilderness, where God provided for His people and taught them the value of pausing to rest, and in the book of Hebrews, where we are invited to enter God's rest by trusting in Christ rather than our own efforts. True rest is not simply about sleep or leisure but about laying down the burdens of striving, worry, and self-reliance, and instead finding peace in God's presence. Just as a parent quiets a restless child, God holds us with His love and calms our weary hearts. On this Labor Day, we are reminded that rest is both a gift and a necessity—time to renew our bodies, refresh our spirits, and embrace the grace and mercy God freely gives today.Shameless plug: here's a link to Method(ist) to the Madness, our new, hopefully entertaining podcast about church history. - https://methodisttothemadness.buzzsprout.com/Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

In Luke 9:18–27, Peter rightly confesses Jesus as the Messiah, but Jesus immediately redefines what that means: the Messiah must suffer, die, and rise again, and His followers must walk the same path by denying themselves and taking up their cross daily. True discipleship isn't about power or comfort—it's about surrender, humility, and dying to selfishness so that we can discover real life in Christ. Like C. S. Lewis's picture of Eustace shedding his dragon skin, following Jesus can feel painful, but it's ultimately freeing, stripping away false identities until only true life remains. To follow the crucified and risen Messiah is to lose ourselves—and in doing so, to find joy.Shameless plug: here's a link to Method(ist) to the Madness, our new, hopefully entertaining podcast about church history. - https://methodisttothemadness.buzzsprout.com/Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

In Luke 9:10–17, Jesus feeds the 5,000 with just five loaves and two fish, showing that He cares for the whole person—teaching, healing, and providing for physical needs. The disciples felt inadequate, just as we often do when faced with overwhelming problems, but Jesus didn't ask them to solve it all; He only asked them to bring what they had and follow His instructions. That's the heart of this story: we're not called to fix everything, but to offer our small gifts in obedience and trust Jesus to multiply them. In His hands, even our “not enough” becomes more than enough, overflowing with grace.Shameless plug: here's a link to Method(ist) to the Madness, our new, hopefully entertaining podcast about church history. - https://methodisttothemadness.buzzsprout.com/Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

In Luke 9:7–9, Herod is confused by Jesus, hearing rumors that He might be John the Baptist raised from the dead, Elijah, or another prophet. Unlike Matthew and Mark, Luke only gives a brief mention of John's death, keeping the focus squarely on Jesus—which is fitting, since John's mission was always to point people to Christ. Herod's question, “Who is this?” is the right one, because Jesus should unsettle and perplex us; He doesn't fit neatly into our categories or expectations. Faith isn't about having everything figured out—it's about trusting God in the mystery. Real faith begins when we stop demanding certainty and instead choose to trust the One who holds the future.Shameless plug: here's a link to Method(ist) to the Madness, our new, hopefully entertaining podcast about church history. - https://methodisttothemadness.buzzsprout.com/Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

In Luke 9:1–6, Jesus gives His disciples power and authority, sending them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and heal, relying not on their own resources but on God's provision. This passage reminds us that the kingdom isn't a distant hope but a present reality—Jesus is Lord right now. Like the disciples, we're called to live and proclaim that truth in our homes, communities, and workplaces, not just with words but through lives that reflect His love and power. And we don't go alone—we go together, filled with Christ's authority, carrying hope and courage into a world that needs to see His kingdom at hand.Shameless plug: here's a link to Method(ist) to the Madness, our new, hopefully entertaining podcast about church history. - https://methodisttothemadness.buzzsprout.com/Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

In Luke 8:40–56, we see two powerful healings woven together—Jesus restores a bleeding woman who had suffered for twelve years and raises Jairus's twelve-year-old daughter from death. Both were marginalized and overlooked, yet Jesus saw them, touched them, and made them whole. What's striking is that, unlike in Jewish law where uncleanness spreads, with Jesus it's the opposite—His holiness flows outward, stronger than sin, shame, or even death. This passage reminds us that no situation is too far gone and no person too unclean for His grace. Whatever feels impossible or broken in our lives, Jesus is greater—and when we place it in His hands, He brings restoration and life.Shameless plug: here's a link to Method(ist) to the Madness, our new, hopefully entertaining podcast about church history. - https://methodisttothemadness.buzzsprout.com/Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

In Luke 8:26–39, Jesus crosses into Gentile territory—unclean, scary, “off-limits” land for a good Jewish person—and meets a man possessed by demons, living among tombs and pigs, cut off from everything. To the disciples, it was like stepping straight into a nightmare—but Jesus went right to the heart of the fear and brought peace. Just like He calmed the storm, He calmed this man's chaos, showing that He is greater than anything that scares us. And while the man begged to follow Jesus, Jesus told him to stay and tell his story at home—a reminder that sometimes our calling is to be faithful right where we are. Whatever your “boogeyman” is today, remember: God is bigger.Shameless plug: here's a link to Method(ist) to the Madness, our new, hopefully entertaining podcast about church history. - https://methodisttothemadness.buzzsprout.com/Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

In Luke 8:22–25, Jesus calms a storm while the disciples panic, leaving them in awe and asking, “Who is this, that even the winds and waves obey him?” That's the heart of the story—not just the calm after the chaos, but the question of who Jesus really is. Some of us grew up seeing God mainly as mighty and holy, while others saw him mostly as close and tender—but the truth is, he's both. He's the Lord of creation who commands the seas, and he's also the God who walks beside us in love. Our response, like Kierkegaard said, is “fear and trembling”—awe that such a powerful God would draw so near. Today, remember both sides: pray bold prayers because he's able, and rest in his calm because he's with you.Shameless plug: here's a link to Method(ist) to the Madness, our new, hopefully entertaining podcast about church history. - https://methodisttothemadness.buzzsprout.com/Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

In Luke 8:19–21, Jesus' mother and brothers show up while He's teaching, but instead of stopping, He says, “My family are those who hear God's word and do it.” He isn't rejecting His mom—He proved His love for her at the cross—but He's redefining family to include everyone who belongs to Him. Luke keeps showing us this theme: Jesus expanding the circle, pulling in women, outsiders, and those on the margins. That means in Christ, we're family—not because of DNA, race, denomination, or nationality, but because we share the same Savior. And like any family, we may fuss, but we're still kin in Christ. If you share my Jesus, then you're my family.Shameless plug: here's a link to Method(ist) to the Madness, our new, hopefully entertaining podcast about church history. - https://methodisttothemadness.buzzsprout.com/Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

In Luke 8:16–18, Jesus says no one lights a lamp just to hide it, but to shine for everyone to see, and He warns us to pay attention to how we listen. In the context of the parable of the sower, this means when God's Word takes root in us, it grows and bears fruit—but if we ignore it or hide it, even what we think we have will slip away. The fruit Jesus promises isn't stuff or success, but the fruit of the Spirit—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, and more—that shines out of us and points others to Him. God already knows everything about us, even our flaws, and still loves us as His children, so why would we hide His light? Today, let's not keep it to ourselves—let's shine, because His love never runs out and the more we share it, the more it grows.Shameless plug: here's a link to Method(ist) to the Madness, our new, hopefully entertaining podcast about church history. - https://methodisttothemadness.buzzsprout.com/Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

This morning in Luke 8:4–15, we looked at Jesus' parable of the sower and the four kinds of soil — hard path, rocky ground, thorny weeds, and good dirt. Each one represents a different way people receive God's word, and if we're honest, most of us have been in more than one category over the years. The goal is to be “good dirt” — to let God's word take root and grow by tending it daily through prayer, Scripture, worship, and service, just like you'd care for a garden. It takes work and persistence, but the harvest God can bring in our lives is worth it. So today, let's be good dirt and see what God grows.Shameless plug: here's a link to Method(ist) to the Madness, our new, hopefully entertaining podcast about church history. - https://methodisttothemadness.buzzsprout.com/Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

In Luke 8:1–3, Luke alone records how women like Mary Magdalene, Joanna, and Susanna traveled with Jesus and the twelve, supporting the ministry from their own resources. These women weren't just passive followers; they were essential leaders and the backbone of the mission, remembered by name for generations. Luke's Gospel consistently shows Jesus valuing those on the margins and recognizing the quiet, faithful servants who often go unnoticed. This passage challenges us to see and honor those working behind the scenes and to remember that in God's Kingdom, no act of service is too small.Shameless plug: here's a link to Method(ist) to the Madness, our new, hopefully entertaining podcast about church history. - https://methodisttothemadness.buzzsprout.com/Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.

In Luke 7:36–50, Jesus is at a Pharisee's house when a woman known for her sinful reputation shows up, weeping and anointing His feet. The Pharisee is shocked that Jesus would let her touch Him, but Jesus tells a story to show that those forgiven much, love much. The Pharisee doesn't see his need for forgiveness, so his love is small, but this woman knows how much she's been forgiven, and her love overflows. When we remember the depth of God's mercy toward us, it should make us the most loving people in the world—because we've been loved much, we should love much.Shameless plug: here's a link to Method(ist) to the Madness, our new, hopefully entertaining podcast about church history. - https://methodisttothemadness.buzzsprout.com/Join us for our daily reflections with Andy.
