In this episode we look at what Solomon tells us about the little foxes, how they spoil and ruin the vineyard. We look at how that natural principle applies also to the supernatural and how little sins that we may be tempted to write off are actually very effective and potent tools of the enemy to try to ruin and spoil our hope, our future and our walk with God. Those little things will soon become big things if we're not careful which is why we need to vigilantly guard our minds and our hearts and strive to submit ourselves to the Spirit and live in accordance with His will for us!

In marriage, we often look at our spouse and think, “They're the only one for us.” Yet we know that many marriages today still end in divorce. Why is that? Pastor Bill explains that there can be many reasons, but one of the most dangerous is wandering eyes. When Christ isn't at the center of a marriage, it becomes easier for our attention to drift toward other things or other people. So today, Pastor Bill encourages you to keep Christ at the center of your marriage and guard your heart from distractions. 

As parents, we love our children more than anything in this world. We'd take away their pain if you could, just so they wouldn't have to endure it. That deep love we have for our sons and daughters gives us a glimpse of the love God has for His creation. He sent His only Son, Jesus Christ, to die for our sins, all because of His love for us. So today, Pastor Bill encourages you to accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior and receive the loving sacrifice He made for you on the cross.

“BETTE vs MIRIAM: WHEN STARS COLLIDED” - 3/30/2026 (133) What would Hollywood be without a good, old fashioned rivalry. It's well documented that BETTE DAVIS and JOAN CRAWFORD were not exactly besties. But did you know that Davis had another rivalry that was even uglier and more intense? That's right, the rivalry between Davis and her co-star in The Old Maid (1939) and Old Acquaintance (1943) was one for the ages. Completely different in upbringing, temperament, and acting styles, these two grand dames of the silver screen kept the gossip columnists' tongues wagging with their petty, mean-spirited one-upmanship. And while Davis ended up the victor in the long run, as she had a longer and more successful career, Hopkins could give as good as she could take. This week, we explore the long-standing feud between these two great divas.  SHOW NOTES:  Sources: Miriam Hopkins: Life and Films of a Hollywood Rebel (2018), by Allan R.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Saturday morning, the 28th of March, 2026, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today.We go to the Song of Solomon 2:15:“Catch us the foxes, The little foxes that spoil the vines, For our vines have tender grapes.” Beware of little foxes - I read this from the great man of God, James Hudson Taylor, who took the Gospel of Jesus Christ, as a young man, by himself, to China. They said he spoke Mandarin better than any other missionary in China. He was a great and very humble man of God. He was responsible for sending something like a thousand families to China to preach the Gospel, and he had no source of income. No missionary organisation sent him. He went on his own, and he told his people, “Beware of little foxes.”What are we talking about? We are talking about those little compromises that we have with the world. That's right, just one small drink won't harm anybody, and that is how the alcoholic gets started. Just one small smoke of marijuana and that is how you could become a drug addict. Just one small indulgence with a woman could be the beginning of the end of your marriage. That little voice that said, “Oh, it's not so bad. You don't have to really pay that account. Just leave it, and it will go away.” “You don't have to pay the taxman, I mean, the taxman does nothing for you.” The law requires that we obey everything. The fruit is eventually spoiled if you continue to allow these little foxes to contaminate your crop, whatever it might be. I know this as a farmer. We have to be on the job. We cannot allow any form of infection or disease to come in amongst our animals. We have to be diligent in everything we do, and if we do that, then God promises us that we will have a bountiful crop. Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day.Goodbye.

Send us Fan MailSince her debut, West End rising star Gracie McGonigal has gone from strength to strength and is now in the centre of the world's attention on screen, with her milestone casting as Hazel in the fourth season of Netflix's 'Bridgerton'. We hear her reflect on the significance of the role, noting the production's inclusive approach to disability. This television debut marks a pivotal shift in her career, offering a broader platform for her advocacy for authentic representation within the entertainment industry.During our interview with Gracie McGonigal, we explored her theatrical roots, as she continues her run as Red Riding Hood in the Bridge Theatre's acclaimed revival of Into the Woods. We also discussed her earlier work as Susanna Walcott in the National Theatre's production of The Crucible and her relationship with director Lindsay Turner who she recently reunited with on The Little Foxes. Gracie reflected on the technical contrasts between the rigorous, repetitive nature of live theatre and the fast-paced, intuitive demands of a major television set. Throughout the interview, she emphasized that while she is an advocate for disabled performers, her primary goal remains the pursuit of complex, diverse roles that challenge traditional industry casting standards.

In this episode, Laura and Jenny discuss Song of Songs 2:16-16 and what it means to "catch the foxes" within our vineyard. When our love for the Bridegroom begins to blossom, "little foxes" such as distractions, sins, lies we've believed about ourselves, and negative self-talk can interrupt our healing journey. Laura and Jenny discuss how keeping our eyes on the Bridegroom and rejecting the "little foxes" can help us sink further into the truth that "My Beloved is mine and I am His" (Song of Songs 2:16).Read Jenny's article about catching the "little foxes" of distraction at:https://hopesgarden.com/2026/02/catching-the-distractions-that-make-havoc-of-my-vineyard/To learn more about Hope's Garden CHRIST Program:https://hopesgarden.com/christ-program-subscription/Discover the love of our Divine Bridegroom through the Brides of Christ courses:https://hopesgarden.com/song-of-songs-scripture-study/

Marriages don't usually fall apart because of a single "cannonball" moment. They drift because of the little foxes.

In the conclusion of the "Ferment" series, Sam Stephens explores how to protect the spiritual growth God is bubbling up within us. Centering his message on the poetic imagery of Song of Solomon 2:15, Sam warns against the "little foxes"—those small, seemingly insignificant compromises, distractions, or habits that can ruin a vineyard just as it begins to blossom. He emphasizes that while God provides the growth, we are called to be vigilant stewards of our spiritual lives. By addressing the small issues before they become major strongholds, we ensure that the "new wine" of our faith remains sweet and ready to be shared with others. Sam concludes with the profound reminder from the Heidelberg Catechism: our greatest hope is found in the fact that we are not our own, but belong body and soul to Jesus Christ.

Song of Solomon 2:15 is often used to warn believers about hidden sins—the "little foxes" that supposedly threaten our relationship with Christ. But is that what the verse actually means? In this episode, we examine one sermon, four alleged "foxes," and the much bigger interpretive mistake underneath them. When poetic imagery is moralized and context is ignored, Scripture stops speaking and tradition takes over.

In this session of Healing School 2025, Pastor Dale discusses some of the "little foxes" that often go undetected in a believer's life and have the potential to act as barriers and hinderances against healing. These include doctrinal error, strife-filled environments, disobedience to God's will and directives, and unforgiveness. If left unchecked, these seemingly insignificant things can wreak havoc on - and even destroy - one's harvest of faith.

Seemingly small compromises can damage the fruit God wants to bring forth in your life.

“It’s the little foxes that spoil the vine,” my grandmother used to say. Then my mom repeated the same thing. And now I say it to my own children. But what does it mean to beware of “the little foxes”? After planting grapevines, it can take several years before they bear fruit. The vines require a lot of patience, care, watering, pruning, and protection. Foxes—even though small—can cause major damage by destroying the roots, eating the grapes, or chewing the stalk. In the poetic love story of the Song of Songs, Solomon warns, “Catch for us the foxes, the little foxes that ruin the vineyards” (2:15). Some scholars believe this refers to seemingly small problems or behaviors that could threaten the young man and woman’s relationship if left unchecked. This warning also holds instruction for our spiritual journey. Little things like bitterness (Hebrews 12:15), “unwholesome talk” (Ephesians 4:29), or even harmful influence from others (1 Corinthians 15:33) can slip into our lives and hardly be noticed. My grandmother understood that little things can cause great harm, and her wisdom spoke volumes to her grandchildren. As we spend time in prayer and reading the Scriptures, the Spirit will help us avoid the “little foxes”—the temptations or habits that might spoil our relationship with others and our walk with Christ.

These petty troubles and vexations! George Everard, "Little Foxes, and How to Catch Them!" 1878 (You will find it helpful to LISTEN to the Audio, as you READ the text below.) We must see our heavenly Father's hand in our lesser trials and cares, as much as in the greater ones. David recognized the hand of God, in Absalom rising against him in rebellion--but he saw it no less in Shimei throwing stones and dust and casting bitter words at him. Just so, let us see God's hand in everything. These petty troubles and vexations are a part of our schooling for Heaven. They are just as much sent from above, as the fierce storm that wrecks our home and leaves us desolate in a cold world. They all come . . . to prove us, to humble us, to draw out the grace which God has given us, to break the tie that binds us too closely to earth, to knit the tie that draws us nearer to Heaven. Let us ever fix this in our minds. Let us say to ourselves: "My Father has sent this trial!  Not a sparrow falls to the ground without Him.  The very hairs of my head are numbered by Him.  So I will trust His heart, where I cannot trace His hand.  He is too wise to be mistaken--and too good to be unkind!"

Our world tells us to not seat the small stuff but it's the small things that can cause us bigger problems. 

The discussion in this episode of HomeMatters dives into the Song of Solomon passage in chapter 2, verse 15. The scripture enlightens us in the fact that it isn't always the big things that “spoil” or hinder a relationship. In this episode, the Boggs discuss this warning from the Bible; share a list of possible “foxes” that we can deal with; and challenge their listeners to “tend to the garden” of their love and rid their relationship of these things that can steal away intimacy, affection, and even productivity from a marriage! Join in today and discover what “little fox” you may need to deal with.

Catch the Little Foxes by Pastor Kenny Henao

This week, we turn our attention to a powerful and poetic book—the Song of Solomon. While often celebrated for its imagery of love and devotion, tucked within its verses is a profound warning that speaks directly to our daily walk: "Catch for us the foxes, the little foxes that ruin the vineyards." (Song of Solomon 2:15) These “little foxes” represent the small, often hidden issues in our lives—jealousy, fear, insecurities, pride, and resentment—that quietly creep in and begin to spoil the fruit God wants to produce in us. They may seem minor at first, but left unchecked, they sabotage relationships, hinder spiritual growth, and steal our peace.
