Here’s a clear, structured summary of the interview with Dr. Margena Christian on Money Making Conversations Masterclass with Rushion McDonald, including its purpose, key takeaways, and notable quotes.
Residents of Anaktuvuk Pass, Alaska can now use four wheelers to subsistence hunt in the Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve. The change was announced by the U.S. Interior Secretary during a visit last month. As the Alaska Desk's Alena Naiden from our flagship station KNBA reports, residents of the North Slope village have been fighting for this decision for decades. Marc John Morry has been hunting caribou around Anaktuvuk Pass since he was a child, but in the summer and fall, most of the land around the village has been off limits to hunters like him. That is because residents were not allowed to use four wheelers in the majority of the Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve. The all-terrain vehicles are the only way to access the roadless preserve surrounding the village. Last month the U.S. Department of the Interior announced it would restore off-road-vehicle access to the park. Morry says he is excited. “This is life changing. I only wish my grandparents were here. Now that we’re able to access the lands, we can learn ourselves and relearn what our ancestors taught us about certain areas that always have caribou.” The Trump administration has been working to expand access to hunters on off-road vehicles in protected federal lands across the country. However, a National Park Service (NPS) spokesman for the Alaska region said this action is specific to subsistence hunting in the Gates and does not apply to sport hunters. And it comes after decades of back and forth on the issue. Before Anaktuvuk Pass became a permanent settlement about 80 years ago, the Nunamiut people were semi-nomadic and moved throughout the Brooks Range. Morry says they were searching for their main food source – caribou. “We heard many stories from our elders about hunting grounds that we weren’t able to access, which they remember before we even formed a community.” The federal government established the Gates of the Arctic around Anaktuvuk Pass when it passed the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act. Residents were still given the right to subsistence hunt using snowmachines and motorboats, among other traditional transportation methods, but the rule did not mention ATVs. And 40 years ago, new park guidance interpreted the law to ban hunts on ATVs because they were not used traditionally. Lillian Stone is the city mayor of Anaktuvuk Pass. She says the ban created invisible boundaries for residents relying on hunting for survival. “It was like we were prisoners in our own land for 40 years, where before that it was, we could hunt anywhere, we could travel anywhere.” Local Native corporations exchanged lands with the Park Service in the late 90s, which made additional areas within the park available for subsistence ATV hunts. Still, residents could only access about 1% of the Gates of the Arctic. Stone says residents and local leaders have been advocating for ATV access to the park for subsistence for decades – but with no progress. “We felt like it wasn’t getting anywhere, and we weren’t getting the answers that were needed.” Last year, local leadership traveled to Washington D.C. and asked the Interior Department to restore ATV access to the park. This May, the department announced the decision to do that. Interior Secretary Doug Burgum wrote in a social media post that “no one knows or cares for this land more than the people who live here.” Honored to be with the Nunamiut people in Anaktuvuk Pass to celebrate freedom & self-determination. After 40 years, we are restoring ORV use in Gates of the Arctic National Park for subsistence hunting, because no one knows or cares for this land more than the people who live… pic.twitter.com/m39PGbIP9C — Secretary Doug Burgum (@SecretaryBurgum) May 18, 2026 A department spokeswoman said in an email the old ban was inconsistent with supporting subsistence. She said NPS will consult local communities within six months to establish the new rule. Kristen Morry is an Anaktuvuk Pass hunter and a mother of two. She says the announcement means a lot for her and her children. “I have no words for what just happened, because it just makes me really emotional. … I’m excited to be out there and to no longer have to worry about when we have to stop, because I’m out there year round as well.” NPS said local hunters should contact the Gates of the Arctic for current information on using ATVs while the regulatory process is underway.

In this episode, Dr. Farina King and guest co-host Dr. Kiara Vigil talk with the editors and contributors of the new book Lyda Conley and the Fight to Preserve Huron Indian Cemetery, which tells the story of a trailblazing Wyandot lawyer and activist who defended the burial grounds of her family and ancestors in Kansas City. This work focuses on the life and legacy of Eliza ("Lyda") Burton Conley, a Wyandot woman whose fight to protect her people's burial ground continues to shape how we think about federal Indian law, sovereignty, and memory in the United States. Lyda is widely recognized as the first Indigenous woman to argue a case before the U.S. Supreme Court, but as our guests remind us, she never stood alone. Her sisters Ida and Helena, and generations of Wyandot women, shared in the labor of defending their cemetery and their community, both in the courts and on the ground.Our guests—historian and educator Dr. Tai Edwards, Wyandot Nation of Kansas member and editor Stephanie Bennett, researcher and writer Samantha (Sam) Gill, and Wyandotte playwright Madeline (Maddie) Easley—discuss how their collaborative book brings together biography, archival documents, oral histories, and theater. They talk about reading newspapers and treaties against the grain, navigating access to scattered archives, and recording oral histories with living relatives and tribal leaders. The book offers not just a narrative of Lyda's life but a source reader and teaching tool that invites more research and classroom conversation.Together, the editors and contributors frame Lyda's story as a refusal to accept erasure—what they call “fighting for memory, fighting for honor.” Their work reminds us why this story matters now, in a moment when Indigenous lands, ancestors, and rights are still contested, and when community-based scholarship and art can help chart more just futures.The University Press of Kansas launched the Lyda Conley Series on Trailblazing Indigenous Futures several years ago named in honor of Lyda Conley. Kiara Vigil, Tai Edwards, and Farina King serve as co-editors of the series, and they have hoped for a book to acknowledge and highlight the life and work of Lyda Conley. Finally, that hope is realized with this new book.Resources:Order the book Lyda Conley and the Fight to Preserve Huron Indian Cemetery Samantha Gill, blog piece titled, “Lyda Conley: Women's History Everyone Should Know” (March 2026) “As a thank you for reading the UPK blog, enjoy 20% off this new book when you order directly from the University Press of Kansas website.

On this episode of the Deal Farm®, Kevin and Ken sit down with Allen Lomax to explore his journey from single-family real estate investor to wealth preservation and tax strategy expert. Allen shares how the 2008 financial crisis wiped out most of his assets and how that painful reset pushed him to rethink his investing. He breaks down why commercial real estate is more scalable and less risky than single-family, and why he ultimately chose capital raising over direct investing. He also dives into how high-income earners are unknowingly leaving money on the table by keeping 90–95% of their assets in public markets, and what the wealthiest investors do differently to diversify, reduce tax liability, and protect what they've built. If you've ever wondered how the top 1% legally beat the system and preserve generational wealth, this episode is your blueprint.

Text: Genesis 38 A Disastrous Rejection of God's Ways (Gen. 38:1-11) Judah disobeyed God by marrying outside His covenant family. Judah's sons died by God's hand for their wickedness. Judah sinned against Tamar by cutting her off from the family. A Deceitful Plot to Seek Justice (Gen. 38:12-23) Tamar acted in a sinful way to address the injustice Judah has caused her Judah's sinful heart is revealed in his immorality. Tamar secures the evidence that will protect her and expose Judah. A Dramatic Revelation and Repentance of Sin (Gen. 38:24-26) Judah's hypocrisy is revealed as he condemns Tamar's immorality before examining his own sin. Judah's sin is exposed as Tamar reveals the identity of the father of her child. Judah repents of his sin and recognizes Tamar's case for justice. God's Design to Preserve and Provide Salvation (Gen. 38:27-30) The line of Christ will extend through Judah, Tamar, and other broken sinners (Gen. 49:9-10; Matt. 1:3). God sovereignly protected and provided salvation according to His plan of redemption (Rev. 5:1-10). Main Idea: God's grace is displayed in saving and using broken sinners for His plan of redemption.
Pastor Femi Paul led the church in fervent prayers for the church and our nation through a stirring exhortation titled Deliver Us From Evil! Anchored on Matthew 6:13, the final petition in the Lord's Prayer, we were reminded that the reality of evil is something believers must confront through prayer and dependence on God. Drawing from Jeremiah 8:15, Pastor highlighted the frustration of hoping for relief, breakthrough, and good fortune only to be met with trouble and terror instead. The message identified three dimensions from which evil may arise: evil from above through spiritual wickedness in heavenly places, evil from around through hostile and malicious forces, and evil from within through betrayals and opposition from unexpected quarters. Yet, in the midst of these realities, God remains our refuge, defender, and deliverer. Drawing from Psalm 50:15, Psalm 140, Psalm 125, and 2 Thessalonians 3, we were encouraged to call upon God in times of trouble with confidence, knowing that He hears, rescues, and preserves His people. PFP reminded us that evil may take many forms, whether spiritual, systemic, or personal, but none is greater than the power and authority of God. Our Senior Pastor led the church in prayers for divine protection, deliverance from wicked and unreasonable people, and preservation from every satanic scheme and violent agenda. The service concluded with the comforting assurance from 2 Thessalonians 3:16 that the Lord Himself is able to give us peace at all times, in every way, and under every circumstance. Our confidence remains in God, whose Kingdom, Power, and Glory endure forever. Confession: Lord, I thank You for being my refuge, protector, and deliverer. Preserve me from every evil plan, every wicked influence, and every attack seen or unseen. Let Your peace guard my heart, Your power defend my life, and Your presence surround me and my loved ones in every circumstance. Amen.

Detroit fans wanted answers on Myles Garrett and why the Detroit Lions were not in the middle of it. The conversation laid out a tight timeline, guarded intentions, and a market that only cracked open very late. It was not an open auction. It was a narrow window. Why Detroit Stayed Quiet The show framed the local frustration clearly. People in Detroit felt miffed that the Lions were not involved or did not appear to be. The discussion pushed back. At the combine, the response to any Garrett inquiry was simple. Nothing had changed. The Browns were not moving him. That posture held until very recently. The message to other NFL teams was firm. There was no plan to trade Myles Garrett. Without a signal from Cleveland, there was no reason for Detroit to force a market that did not exist. The Browns' Playbook for Leverage Why the late shift? The Browns wanted options, not a fire sale. Trading a player like Jared Verst was used as the example of rarity. A rookie contract edge rusher with two years of All Pro play and a Defensive Rookie of the Year on the shelf does not get moved. Valuation on that archetype ranged wildly. First and a third. First and a second. Two firsts. Maybe four. That spread underscores how unusual this type of deal would be. The front office approach was explained as aggressive and win focused, not a tear down. They pushed big money back to keep doors open in case a trade surfaced. They also explored whether the NFL would allow five years of future picks instead of three. That ask served two purposes. Maximize what could come back in a Garrett deal. Preserve flexibility to go get a quarterback like Arch Manning as a hypothetical, even if one of the picks landed as far out as 2032. Who Actually Knocked The market finally stirred. The Los Angeles Rams were very aggressive. The Philadelphia Eagles were communicative. The Dallas Cowboys were mentioned. That is where the real dialogue lived late. It tracks with why the Lions did not make noise. The window opened fast and selective. The Browns' valuation was unconventional and steep. Put together, the NFL puzzle looked like this. No movement at the combine. No real plan to trade. Then a late-stage effort to expand trade mechanics and push money around. Only a few teams engaged with the nerve and the capital. Detroit kept its powder dry while the Browns tested the ceiling of leverage. #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #mylesgarrett #clevelandbrowns #jimschwartz #drewpetzing #garretttrade #denzelward #petzingscheme Learn more about your ad choices.

The Preserver's Garden: Featuring Staci and Jeremy Hill of Gooseberry Bridge FarmIn this Episode Staci and Jeremy share their journey from suburban living to operating an 11-acre farm in the Ozark Mountains of Missouri. What began as a small raised-bed garden evolved into a lifestyle centered on food production, preservation, agritourism, and self-sufficiency. In this conversation, they discuss how preserving food became a cornerstone of their family's food security strategy, why they intentionally grow crops for canning and freeze-drying, and how planning a "preserver's garden" differs from traditional gardening. They also share lessons learned from preservation failures, the economics of home food production, and the inspiration behind their book, The Preserver's Garden.Our Guests: Stacy and Jeremy Hill are the owners of Gooseberry Bridge Farm, located in the Ozark Mountains of Southwest Missouri. They moved from the typical house at the end of a cul-de-sac in a subdivision to an 11-acre farm almost 10 years ago, and haven't looked back. In addition to producing and preserving as much of their own food by canning, freezing, dehydrating, and freeze-drying their garden harvests, they also operate a you-pick flower farm with different varieties of flowers throughout the year. Their goals are to share their farm with the community and to be as self-sufficient as possible within the boundaries of what is realistic in today's world.Key TopicsGooseberry Bridge FarmStaci and Jeremy HillThe Preserver's GardenFood preservation strategiesCanning and water bath processingFreeze-drying food for long-term storageGrowing for food securityBuilding a year-round pantryPreserving tomatoes, peaches, beans, and zucchiniFamily involvement in food productionAgritourism and farm experiencesTeaching lost homesteading skillsFoxfire books and traditional knowledgeReducing grocery costs through food productionKey Questions AnsweredHow did Staci and Jeremy transition from suburbia to farming?They began with a small raised-bed garden after getting married and gradually expanded their food production over two decades. After moving to an 11-acre property in Missouri, they increased their gardening, added livestock, and eventually turned the farm into their primary source of income through agritourism and value-added products.What inspired them to focus on food preservation?As their family grew, they became interested in preserving traditional skills they could pass on to future generations. Each year they learned a new preservation method, eventually mastering canning, dehydrating, freeze-drying, and food storage.What does a well-stocked pantry look like?A successful pantry is built around foods a family actually enjoys eating. Rather than preserving what is easiest, they recommend preserving crops you enjoy and grow well. Their pantry includes extensive stores of tomato sauce, salsa, green beans, soups, fruits, and freeze-dried foods.What crops provide the biggest return for food security?Their highest-performing crops include tomatoes, bush beans, zucchini, summer squash, and okra. They emphasize growing large quantities and "outplanting failure" rather than constantly battling pests.Why do they freeze-dry food?Freeze-drying dramatically increases shelf life, often up to 25 years, while preserving flavor and nutrition. It also expands the range of foods they can store compared to traditional canning.How do they handle large harvests of tomatoes?They harvest tomatoes at the blush stage, allow them to ripen indoors, process them in batches, and often freeze excess harvests for winter canning. This approach reduces summer workload and avoids heating the kitchen during hot weather.Why was The Preserver's Garden written?A publisher noticed a gap between gardening books and preservation books. The result was a book focused on planning a garden specifically for preservation goals rather than simply dealing with surplus produce after harvest.How has preserving food impacted their household finances?Despite having more children and growing teenagers, their grocery expenses have declined over the years while food quality has improved. Producing and preserving food has reduced their dependence on grocery stores.What preservation failures taught them valuable lessons?Experiments freeze-drying sweet hot sauce and banana puree resulted in spectacular messes due to sugar expansion during the freeze-drying process. These failures reinforced the importance of testing and learning through experience.What advice do they give beginners?Start small. Preserve one thing, grow one crop, and build confidence through small successes. Fear and misinformation often prevent people from getting started.Episode HighlightsStaci and Jeremy moved from a suburban cul-de-sac to an 11-acre farm in the Ozarks nearly a decade ago.Their farm now supports agritourism, a flower operation, livestock experiences, and food production.A surprise harvest of 300–400 pounds of peaches led to a week-long experiment with new preservation recipes.Their pantry functions as a personalized grocery store stocked with foods their family regularly eats.They grow approximately 100 tomato plants and harvest up to 30–40 pounds of tomatoes per day during peak season.Freeze-drying transformed their food preservation capacity and significantly expanded their pantry.Their children actively participate in gardening, food preservation, and homesteading skills.An Instagram post featuring their pantry went viral and helped inspire the creation of their book.Calls to Action & ResourcesBook: The Preserver's Garden — https://thepreserversgarden.comFarm Website: Gooseberry Bridge Farm — https://gooseberrybridge.comInstagram: Gooseberry Bridge Farm — https://www.instagram.com/gooseberrybridgefarmRecommended Reading: Foxfire Book SeriesVisit www.urbanfarm.org/PreserversGarden for the show notes on this episode, and access to our full podcast library!

A major housing and retail development proposal in Virginia threatens to pave over the birthplace of one of America's most influential historical leader. Paramount Chief Powhatan is the notable late-1500s leader who united local tribes into what became known as the Powhatan Confederacy to face the first waves of English settlers. He was the being father of Matoaka, also known as Pocahontas. The nonprofit organization Preservation Virginia placed the site on its 2026 list of most endangered places. Tribal leaders are actively working to halt the development project, saying it would be “an immeasurable loss to tribal communities and the Commonwealth of Virginia.” We’ll hear from tribal leaders about Powhatan’s birthplace and his enduring legacy.

Furthermore, proper freezing techniques help preserve the taste, texture, and nutritional value of the food. You might think it's as simple as bunging something in the freezer and leaving it there for as long as you want, but actually there are a number of finer points to bear in mind, which many people are unaware of. Fear not though, as usual we've got you covered. Get ready to beat the heat and become a food freezing expert. Let's jump right in! Is it OK to freeze something that has already thawed ? What's the ideal temperature for maintaining a freezer ? Are there any food items that are not suitable for freezing? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

These are the kinds of things that can leave you second-guessing whether your jars are actually safe on the pantry shelf.In this episode of Everyday Homesteading, I'm breaking down:- Why I never store jars with the rings tightened on- What changing liquid levels in your jars actually mean- Why proper headspace matters so much- What causes siphoning and how to prevent it- How false seals happen and what to watch forI know canning can feel overwhelming at times, especially when your jars don't look “perfect,” but I want you to understand what actually matters for safety so you can preserve food confidently.For even more safety tips and common canning questions answered, visit the blog post here: https://homesteadingfamily.com/canning-mistakes-to-avoid/

They walk through why "insurability is a currency," how convertible term lets you shield tens of millions from estate tax without consuming your exemption, and why the conventional advice to move everything out of your estate is often wrong.Chapters: 00:00 – Opening segment01:55 – Why estate planning is unique to every family 04:25 – The Last Will and Testament: pros, cons, and the guardianship rule 09:35 – The "title test": what goes in the will vs. the trust 12:30 – Probate, public record, and Robin Williams 18:10 – Revocable trusts: what they actually do 25:40 – Frankenstein trusts and the funding problem 27:55 – Pour-over wills as the catch-all 33:25 – Why vague language kills directives 41:30 – Financial power of attorney and conservatorship 44:20 – Why banks demand their own POA forms 48:50 – Why the four documents stay separate 51:35 – Estate tax vs. income tax 01:01:00 – A real case: $6M policy, the irrevocable fix 01:04:00 – Insurability is a currency 01:11:50 – The Rockefeller Method: IBC on the kids 01:17:25 – Intentionally Defective Grantor Trusts 01:23:50 – Why the IRS allows hot-swapping assets 01:35:15 – Apocalyptic optionality: how IBC creates options 01:37:35 – Closing thoughtsKey Takeaways:Every American needs the big four documents: a will, a revocable trust, a medical directive, and a financial power of attorney. The will is non-negotiable if you have kids because it names guardians, and a trust cannot.Insurability is a currency. Every healthy year you don't lock in coverage is wealth left on the table, and convertible term placed in an irrevocable trust consumes $0 of your $30M estate tax exemption.The contrarian play is to keep assets in your estate, not out of it. Preserve the step-up in basis on appreciating assets, then use massive life insurance death benefit (owned irrevocably) to pay the inevitable tax bill tax-free.Whole life beat the Barclays Aggregate Bond Index in 9 of the last 10 years after tax. The 15-year return on the broadest bond index is 2.21% taxable versus roughly 4.5-5% tax-free for dividend-paying whole life, with a death benefit on top.The Rockefeller Method scales this across generations. Start max-funded IBC policies on the kids, keep them in your estate, and create cascading multi-generational liquidity where each generation gets a step-up and tax-free death benefit to pay the next round of taxes.

Following the 1943 discovery of the Katyn Forest massacre, where the Soviets executed thousands of Polish officers, FDR and Churchill knowingly supported the Soviet lie blaming the Nazis to preserve the alliance. Stalin used this event as a strategic lever to break off relations with the Polish exile government in London. Sean McMeekin explains that this maneuver allowed Stalin to isolate moderate Polish patriots and clear the path for the installation of communist puppets. By endorsing the lie, the Allies effectively facilitated Stalin's goal of dominating Poland's political future and destroying any viable alternative to Soviet-backed rule. (5/8)UNDATED BAKU

Elbridge Colby explains that the U.S. strategy aims to preserve American security, freedom, and prosperity by building a coalition to check Chinese regional predominance. This coalition is rooted in concrete interests rather than shared ideology; therefore, members do not necessarily have to be democracies. Colby identifies four primary filters for coalition membership: defensibility, cost, resolve, and power. Defensibility is the ability of a nation to hold on long enough to contribute to the collective effort, while cost is critical because U.S. interests in Asia, though vital, are not existential for the American public.

A fast-track proposal to develop a gold mine near Alaska's Cook Inlet and Lake Clark National Park and Preserve is alarming scientists, environmental groups and local communities because of the devastating effects it is expected to have on the region's critically endangered beluga whales. Cook Inlet is home to a small and genetically distinct population of beluga whales that has struggled for decades from habitat loss, industrial activity, pollution, and underwater noise. Supporters of the mining project say it will bring jobs, economic growth and profit to Native Alaskans. This week Traveler's Lynn Riddick talks with Cooper Freeman, Alaska Director of the Center for Biological Diversity. His organization along with many others argue that the gold to be extracted isn't worth the cost of threatening a species already vulnerable to extinction and forever desecrating a magnificent landscape.
How do we preserve family, community, and truth in a culture that seems to be moving faster and faster away from them?In this episode of Everyday Homesteading, I sat down with my friend Rory Groves for a thoughtful conversation about modern culture, technology, family economy, and what many families are sensing right now: that something important has been lost.Using the republished book Henry and the Great Society as a starting point, we talked about how modernization changed family life, community, work, and even the way we think about self-sufficiency. We also discussed why history matters and how looking backward can help us move forward with more intentionality.This conversation touches on: Family economy and durable living The tension between independence and community Why intentionality matters more than ever Building culture for future generations Encouragement for families trying to live differently in uncertain times I really appreciated Rory's perspective and his heart for helping families think deeply about what it means to build a life that lasts.Links Mentioned:- Grab your copy of Henry and the Great Society here: https://homeward.press - Find Rory's book, Durable Trades here: https://www.thegrovestead.com/product/durable-trades/- Learn more about the Gather and Grow events here: https://gatherandgrow.us

After years of pushing hard on our homestead, we reached a point where we had to ask a tough question: Is everything we're doing actually sustainable?Last year, we intentionally slowed down. Not completely, but enough to take a step back and evaluate what was working and what wasn't.And what we learned changed how we're approaching this year in a big way.In this episode, we're sharing the real-life changes we're making on our homestead. The projects we're moving forward with, the systems we're simplifying, and a few things we're choosing to let go of entirely.Because here's the truth most people don't talk about... You don't have to do everything to build a successful homestead.
There is something deeply sobering about watching history decay from neglect — a farmhouse left to the weeds, rooms full of untold stories slowly becoming one with the field around them. Without intentional effort to preserve the past, everything eventually disappears. What was meant to instruct and inspire future generations simply vanishes, and those who come after are left to stumble through the same mistakes with no warning and no map. The same is painfully true in our spiritual lives. Paul's words in 1 Corinthians 10 are a direct and urgent reminder that Israel's history was not recorded merely as interesting ancient literature — it was written down as a warning for us. The golden calf, the grumbling in the wilderness, the testing of God — these were not isolated events from a distant people. They are mirror images of the temptations we face today, preserved in Scripture precisely so we do not have to repeat them. When we skip over the parts of the Bible that feel less relevant or too unfamiliar, we leave rooms of our spiritual house unexamined and uncared for. God regularly called Israel to remember, and He calls us to do the same — to be faithful students of His whole Word, both Old and New Testament, so that the lessons of those who walked before us become the guardrails that keep us on the path of righteousness today. Interested in creating something new with us!? Take Our Newsletter Survey! Today's Bible Verse "These things happened to them as examples and were written down as warnings for us, on whom the culmination of the ages has come. So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don't fall!" — 1 Corinthians 10:11-12, NIV Ponder Today History left unpreserved is history lost — the same is true spiritually: when we neglect the recorded accounts of Scripture, we forfeit the warnings and wisdom they were written to give us. Israel's failures were not recorded to shame them but to protect us — Paul makes clear that their stories serve as direct warnings for believers living today, not relics of a disconnected past. No part of Scripture is irrelevant — even the passages we find difficult, unfamiliar, or less immediately applicable hold lessons that can protect us from the snares of sin. God repeatedly called Israel to remember His past work, and He calls us to do the same — actively engaging with how God has moved in history deepens our faith and anchors our trust in Him. Being a doer of the Word, not just a reader, is the ultimate goal of studying Scripture — the past is only truly preserved when it changes the way we live in the present. Today's Prayer God, thank You for providing us with Your Word, which has everything we need to faithfully follow You. Help me create rhythms in my life that encourage me to remember how You worked in the past and to learn from the saints who have gone before me. I do not want to skip over parts of Scripture merely because they seem distant from daily life — increase in me the desire to be a faithful student of Your whole Word, Old and New Testament alike. May I not be a reader only, but a doer of the Word, allowing what I learn to shape the way I live. In Jesus' name, Amen. Enjoy Today's Prayer?
