Sermon Title: Remember and RehearseMain Scripture: There isn't really a main passage that we'll be looking at, but one that summarizes the direction will be going is Psalm 119:52 - "52 I remember, Lord, your ancient laws, and I find comfort in them.”Synopsis: Did you know that one of the most important spiritual disciplines in Scripture is simply... remembering? This week, we explore how God calls His people—again and again—to actively remember His faithfulness. From the memorial stones after crossing the Jordan to Jesus' words at the Last Supper, the Bible shows that remembering isn't just reflecting—it's a vital part of how we grow, worship, and stay faithful.August 10, 2025 • Tucker Parman• • • • • • • •.• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Join us for service in person and online every Sunday at 10am (MST) at the City Life Community Center in Missoula, MT.

We're bringing you two, count em TWO, episodes with women and non-binary firefighters and writers who have written books about their experiences working both in fire and on hotshot crews more specifically. The first in this short series is with author Kelly Ramsey, whose book WILDFIRE DAYS was released in June. Kelly and I spoke about some of the emotional toll of fighting fire—including the terrifying feeling of not feeling like you belong, especially in such an intense work environment—as well as the process of writing a book (including the nearly 50,000 words she wrote in her Notes app during her time in fire). A large part of our conversation centered on the many intricacies of hotshot culture that we both witnessed (and which, in some cases, left us both confounded). Many anecdotes, laughs and shared experiences ensued. This was a fun one to record and hopefully it's just as fun to listen to!Here's another link to Kelly's book in case you missed the first one ;) Here's the Life with Fire Patreon, in the event you'd like to support me through the transition to grad school (where I will continue to publish podcast episodes, and will have much more access to lots of smart fire people as I'll be in Missoula!)

Our first story comes to us from Nita Maddox. A determined single mom navigates the challenges of working four jobs and trying to buy her dream business, a local video store. Amidst this chaotic life, a quirky encounter with an unexpected suitor leads to a surprising turn of events. Just as everything seems to fall into place, a sudden, life-altering incident challenges her newfound stability and reshapes her entire world. Nita calls her story Perfect Blue House.

Thanks for listening. photo by kmr studios Tess Sneeringer has lived in Missoula for six years and landed here after spending the first half of her twenties as an outdoor educator across the American West, far away from her childhood home in Washington, DC.

But then she stayed in Missoula longer than she thought she would so figured she'd do it again. Her first appearance featured a survival story set in the Utah desert, and she's back on this episode of the podcast with another survival tale – this time of high school social life. In our next story, Kelley Provost shares her raw and honest journey of self-acceptance and defiance, beginning with a lifelong struggle against body image that culminates in a breast reduction. But just as newfound confidence blossoms on a dream European vacation, a phone call in London’s West End, moments before The Lion King, delivers a life-altering diagnosis that changes everything. Kelley calls her story “Careful Whatchya Wish For”. Thanks for listening. photo by kmr studios Kelley Provost Kelley Provost  is a survivor, a thriver, a liver, and a lover.

Closing out this episode of the Tell Us Something podcast, Jeff Ducklow embarks on an “adventure wish”. A seminary graduate turned sea kayak guide, Jeff recounts the incredibly dangerous decision to paddle toward and touch a Tidewater glacier in Alaska. What began as a bold pursuit of a memorable death could quickly become a fight for survival against one of nature’s most unpredictable forces. Jeff calls his story “A Terrible Idea”. Thanks for listening. photo by kmr studios Jeff Ducklow has always loved nature. As a youngster, he spent most of his free time playing in the woods and felt more at home there than he did anywhere indoors. He considered nature his friend even into adulthood when he decided to turn his passion for nature into a career as an adventure guide. Yes, Jeff felt he and nature were buddies. A belief he wholeheartedly embraced until the events in his story that you just heard shook his faith and gave him more insight into the nature of nature.

Baptism is a powerful public declaration of faith in Jesus Christ, symbolizing the death of our old self and resurrection to new life. It marks the beginning of a lifelong journey with Jesus, not the end. Through baptism, believers identify with Christ's death, burial, and resurrection while committing to faithfully follow Him. This act of obedience connects us to something bigger than ourselves - a community of faith where we can continue learning, growing, and reaching others with the hope of Jesus. Baptism doesn't require perfect understanding, just faith in Jesus and a desire to follow Him.July 27, 2025 • Kyle SmithYouTube Video: https://youtu.be/3sBG0ViA098• • • • • • • •.• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Join us for service in person and online every Sunday at 10am (MST) at the City Life Community Center in Missoula, MT.
