Podcasts about Weeping

Weeping is part of life but God has a way of wiping away our tears and giving us hope, especially as we consider His promise that is repeated three times that He will wipe away all tears. What He has promised in the future, He does practically in our everyday circumstances. Check out today's podcast for great hope that God not only sees your tears, He considers them precious and He provides a way of wiping away your tears today. 

The post From Weeping To Worship appeared first on Hixson Presbyterian Church.

Little Mary was certain she would play Mary, the mother of Jesus, in the Sunday school play. Her name was Mary. She knew the whole story. And when her teacher announced she would play Elizabeth instead, with very few lines, she smiled and clapped along with everyone else — and then cried in her mother's arms later that day. It is a small story, but it captures something true about what it means to be crushed in spirit. The disappointment does not have to be catastrophic to be deeply real. Psalm 34:18 holds one of Scripture's most tender promises: the Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. And the evidence of that nearness runs throughout Scripture. Even on the cross, in the midst of His own suffering, Jesus looked down and saw His mother's anguish. He did not look away. He made provision for her — entrusting her to John, offering both of them to each other in their grief, because He knew they were crushed and He would not leave them without care. That is the nature of this God: He draws near on His own to those who are broken, without waiting to be invited, because He knows that when we are crushed in spirit, we often cannot see the way out. Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning — and God walks with us through every dark hour in between. Today's Bible Verse "The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit."— Psalm 34:18, NIV Ponder Today God draws near to the crushed in spirit without waiting to be invited. Psalm 34:18 does not say God draws near when we seek Him — it says He is already near to the brokenhearted. A special closeness is reserved for those who are suffering. Jesus saw His mother's anguish from the cross and made provision for her. Even in the middle of His own suffering, He did not overlook her pain. That same attentiveness belongs to you. He sees your anguish too. Nothing can separate us from the love of God. Not betrayal, not loss, not the feeling of being chosen last or overlooked entirely. Not height or depth, not angels or demons, and not even death has the power to sever what God has secured. When you are crushed in spirit, you often cannot see the way out — and that is exactly why God comes close. He brings His strength and grace into the places where ours has completely run out. Trust the One who can see what you cannot. Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning. The night can feel long and unending. But God is present in every hour of it, and a breakthrough is on the way. Morning will come because God's promises do not fail. A Prayer for You Today Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for saving those who are crushed in spirit. I lift up everyone who has been invisible to others, chosen last, betrayed, and hurting in ways that feel endless. Let them feel Your presence and Your unwavering, unfailing, and perfect love. As they go through this pain, keep the source of comfort close to their weary hearts. May they place their hope and trust in You, because You will never leave or forsake them. Thank You for always keeping Your promises. Thank You for drawing near when the heart is broken and offering a way out when the spirit is crushed. I will place my trust in You, Lord, for You are my safety and my God. In Jesus' name, Amen.

John 21:3-12 Simon Peter said, “I'm going fishing.” “We'll come, too,” they all said. So they went out in the boat, but they caught nothing all night. At dawn Jesus was standing on the beach, but the disciples couldn't see who he was. He called out, “Fellows, have you caught any fish?” “No,” they replied. Then he said, “Throw out your net on the right-hand side of the boat, and you'll get some!” So they did, and they couldn't haul in the net because there were so many fish in it. Then the disciple Jesus loved said to Peter, “It's the Lord!” When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his tunic (for he had stripped for work), jumped into the water, and headed to shore. The others stayed with the boat and pulled the loaded net to the shore, for they were only about a hundred yards from shore. When they got there, they found breakfast waiting for them—fish cooking over a charcoal fire, and some bread.“Bring some of the fish you've just caught,” Jesus said. So Simon Peter went aboard and dragged the net to the shore. There were 153 large fish, and yet the net hadn't torn. “Now come and have some breakfast!” Jesus said. None of the disciples dared to ask him, “Who are you?” They knew it was the Lord. Then Jesus served them the bread and the fish. This was the third time Jesus had appeared to his disciples since he had been raised from the dead.Go back to the START, in order to MOVE FORWARD.When you don't know what to do, go back to the last time you were WITH JESUS.Revelation 2:5 Look how far you have fallen!

Sometimes the shortest lives leave the deepest footprints.Noah's story reminds us that a life isn't measured by its length, but by the love it gives, the lives it touches, and the hope it leaves behind.Even though we grieve… we can still choose love. Even though life changes… we can still choose hope. Even though loss hurts… we can still move forward. Today I'm with  with Matthew Efird—author, entrepreneur, podcast host, and co-founder of Even Though, We Will—to share the deeply personal story of his son Noah and the journey that forever changed his family's life. When Matthew and his wife Hannah learned that their unborn son had Trisomy 13, they were faced with heartbreaking decisions and unimaginable uncertainty. Instead of allowing fear to define their journey, they chose to embrace every moment they were given with Noah, celebrating his life while preparing for the grief they knew would come. Their son lived just 57½ hours, but his life continues to leave an extraordinary impact. Matthew shares what it was like to receive a terminal diagnosis during pregnancy, how his faith sustained him through profound loss, and why grief and hope can exist together. He speaks openly about the tension of weeping while worshiping, the beauty of loving fully despite knowing goodbye is coming, and the lessons Noah's life continues to teach their family. Together, Matthew and Hannah founded Even Though, We Will, a nonprofit organization that provides practical care packages—called "Arks"—to families walking through a terminal prenatal diagnosis. Their mission is to ensure that no family has to navigate this heartbreaking journey alone. This conversation is one of remarkable honesty, unwavering faith, and enduring love. Whether you've experienced the loss of a child, are supporting someone through unimaginable grief, or are searching for hope in your own difficult season, Matthew's story is a powerful reminder that even in our darkest moments, purpose can still emerge.

Big Idea: Don't let AirPods tune out God's megaphone!Numbers 11:15 “If you are going to treat me like this, please kill me right now if I have found favor with you, and don't let me see my misery anymore.” I. It might be God's preparation… 2 Corinthians 1:3-5Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort. He comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any kind of affliction, through the comfort we ourselves receive from God. For just as the sufferings of Christ overflow to us, so also through Christ our comfort overflows.II. or build your patience… Psalm 88:18You have distanced loved one and neighbor from me; darkness is my only friend.III. but it's never permanent.Psalm 30:5For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor, a lifetime. Weeping may stay overnight, but there is joy in the morning.Next Step:Believe: I need Jesus to give life to my dead soul today.Become: I will wait for God's will this week.Be Sent: I will minister to someone in pain this week.Discussion Questions: Has anyone walked with you through the same pain they once suffered? If so, how did it impact you?Do you look at depression as a spiritual problem or a mental health problem?  Explain your answer. Does seeing a mental health professional mean that your faith is weak?If we belong to Heaven, why do we allow circumstances on Earth to cause us pain?When was the last time God turned your weeping into joy? How can you comfort someone facing mental health problems this week?Pray for the opportunity to put that ministry into practice this week.

Welcome to Day 2894 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom. Day 2894 – “The Ultimate Close Encounter”  based on Luke 9:28-36 Putnam Church Message – 05/31/2026 The Good News According to Luke: “The Ultimate Close Encounter.”   Last week's message was “A Shocking Agenda,” in which we learned to deny ourselves, take up our cross daily, and follow Jesus, which is not the way to lose our life.  According to Jesus, that is the only way to truly find it. Today, we continue with our twenty-sixth message from Luke's narrative of the Good News of Jesus Christ. Today's message is: “The Ultimate Close Encounter.” Our core passage today is Luke 9:28--36, on page 1609 of your pew Bibles. The Transfiguration 28 About eight days after Jesus said this, he took Peter, John and James with him and went up onto a mountain to pray. 29 As he was praying, the appearance of his face changed, and his clothes became as bright as a flash of lightning. 30 Two men, Moses and Elijah, appeared in glorious splendor, talking with Jesus. 31 They spoke about his departure,[a] which he was about to bring to fulfillment at Jerusalem. 32 Peter and his companions were very sleepy, but when they became fully awake, they saw his glory and the two men standing with him. 33 As the men were leaving>Jesus, / Peter said to him, “Master, it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters—one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.” (He did not know what he was saying.) 34 While he was speaking, a cloud appeared and covered them, and they were afraid as they entered the cloud. 35 A voice came from the cloud, saying, “This is my Son, whom I have chosen; listen to him.” 36 When the voice had spoken, they found that Jesus was alone. The disciples kept this to themselves and did not tell anyone at that time what they had seen. Opening Prayer Father, we come before You today with grateful hearts. We confess that we often see only what is right in front of us — our problems, our pain, our schedules, our fears, our disappointments. But Your Word reminds us that there is more than what we can see with our eyes. There is glory beyond suffering, resurrection beyond death, and a Kingdom that cannot be shaken. Lord Jesus, as we look today at Your transfiguration, open our hearts to see You more clearly. Strengthen our faith. Quiet our fears. Teach us to listen to You. Help us follow You not only when the road is easy, but also when the road leads through sacrifice and suffering. May we leave this place with renewed confidence that Your will, Your way, all the way, is always best. Amen. Introduction: Our Hunger for Something More We live in an interesting age. I think we live in the most exciting age ever. That is why I would love to live another 70 years. We are at the threshold of major breakthroughs in all areas of life. Not everyone agrees with me. On one hand, skepticism is loud. Many people claim that nothing exists beyond what can be measured, tested, touched, or explained by science. They say the material universe is all there is. And yet, at the very same time, interest in the supernatural continues to grow. People watch shows about UFO sightings. They read books about near-death experiences. They watch movies about unseen worlds, spiritual forces, mysterious signs, angels, ghosts, and life beyond death. Even people who say they do not believe in God often feel that there must be something more. Why? Because deep inside the human soul is a longing to know that we are not alone. We want to know that our lives matter. We want to know that suffering is not meaningless. We want to know that death is not the end. We want to know that beyond the visible world lies a greater reality. That longing is not new. It goes back as far as humanity itself. Every culture in every age has looked beyond itself, searching the heavens for someone or something greater. In today's passage, three disciples receive what we might call the ultimate close encounter. Peter, John, and James are allowed to see behind the curtain. For a brief moment, the veil between earth and heaven is pulled back. They see Jesus in glory. They see Moses and Elijah alive. They hear the voice of God the Father. And they learn something they desperately needed to know. In the previous message, “A Shocking Agenda,” Jesus told His disciples that He must suffer, be rejected, be killed, and be raised on the third day. Then He said that anyone who wants to follow Him must deny himself, take up his cross daily, and follow Him. / That was not what they expected. They expected the Messiah to march into Jerusalem, overthrow Rome, and restore Israel's glory. Instead, Jesus spoke of suffering, rejection, death, and surrender. So now, about eight days later, Jesus takes three of them up a mountain to pray. There, He gives them a glimpse of the glory on the other side of the cross. The message is clear: The road of Jesus may pass through suffering, but it ends in glory. Let's look at four truths that will explain this in our bulletin insert. Main Point 1: Jesus Reveals His Glory in the Place of Prayer Luke tells us that about eight days after Jesus said these things, He took Peter, John, and James up on a mountain to pray. That detail matters. Luke has repeatedly shown us that Jesus prayed at key moments. He prayed at His baptism. He withdrew often to lonely places to pray. He prayed before choosing the Twelve. He will pray in Gethsemane before the cross. Here again, Jesus goes up the mountain to pray. In Scripture, mountains often become places of divine encounter. Moses met God on Mount Sinai. Elijah heard the gentle whisper of God on Mount Horeb. Later, Jesus would teach on mountains, pray on mountains, and eventually be crucified near Jerusalem on a hill called Golgotha. So, when Luke tells us Jesus goes up a mountain to pray, we should lean in. Something important is about to happen. / As Jesus is praying, His appearance changes. Matthew says His face shines like the sun. Mark says His clothing becomes dazzling white, whiter than anyone on earth could bleach it. Luke says the appearance of his face was transformed, and his clothes became dazzling white.  This is not stage lighting. / This is not imagination. / This is not the sun hitting His robe at just the right angle. / The glory that had always belonged to Jesus begins to shine through His humanity. For most of His earthly life, the glory of the eternal Son of God was veiled. People saw a real man from Nazareth. They saw Him tired. Hungry. Weeping. Sleeping in a boat. Walking dusty roads. Sitting at tables. Touching lepers. Holding children. Teaching crowds. / But on the mountain, for a few moments, the veil is pulled back. The disciples see that the One they follow is not merely a teacher. Not merely a prophet. Not merely a miracle worker. Not merely a wise rabbi. / He is the glorious Son of God. Object Lesson: The Covered Lamp Imagine a lamp covered with a thick cloth. The lamp is shining, but the cloth hides most of the light. You may see a little glow around the edges, but not the full brightness. / Now remove the covering. / The light floods the room. That is a simple picture of what happens on the mountain. Jesus does not become glorious for the first time. His glory is revealed. John later writes that the Word became flesh and lived among us, and “we have seen his glory.” Peter later writes that he was an eyewitness of Christ's majesty. / This moment stayed with them. Ancient Context For Jewish disciples, shining glory would immediately connect with the presence of God. When Moses came down from Mount Sinai after speaking with God, his face shone so brightly that the people were afraid to come near him. / But Moses reflected glory.  / Jesus reveals glory. Moses came down from the mountain with God's law. Jesus stands on the mountain as God's Son. / That distinction matters. Jesus is greater than Moses. Greater than Elijah. Greater than every prophet,...

What does it take to rehumanize our common life in a moment of cultural fragility, institutional collapse, and crisis of trust? Recorded at the Washington National Cathedral for Comment magazine's inaugural Understory Festival, this roundtable asks how culture, beauty, and faith might rehumanize a fractured public life. Mark Labberton is joined by Comment editor-in-chief Anne Snyder, The Sacred host Elizabeth Oldfield, Washington Post columnist Shadi Hamid, and Cardus co-founder Ray Pennings. "It is actually possible to have deep roots and wide open arms." In this episode, the panel reflects on building a gathering rooted in hope and Christian humanism rather than argument alone. They discuss why and how politics is downstream from culture, the role of religion in the public square, the limits of purely cerebral ways of knowing, toxic positivity versus honest hope, pluralism with deep roots, the beauty of "groaning," and learning to die well.

Have you ever been so disappointed — for so long — that you just stopped hoping anything good could happen next? That's exactly where these women are as they make their way to the tomb in the early morning hours of Mark chapter 16. They aren't coming with expectation. They're coming with burial spices. They have planned for a burial. And what they find instead is so shocking, so completely outside of anything they were prepared for, that they flee trembling and bewildered — which is, honestly, one of the most human responses in all of Scripture. We're in the final eight verses of Mark today, and I want us to really slow down here, because there is so much tucked into this ending. First — did you notice that the angel specifically calls out Peter by name? Go tell the disciples, including Peter. Remember where we last left Peter — weeping bitterly after his complete and utter failure. And yet the angel makes sure he's included by name. Because that was not the end of Peter's story. And it is never the end of ours either. We also talk about the way Mark ends — abruptly, with the women frightened and silent — and what that might mean for us. Whether the manuscript was lost or Mark intended this cliffhanger, I think there's something really beautiful about being left in the tension. Because that's where most of us actually live, isn't it? In the unresolved. In the not-yet-fully-clear. And what the resurrection says into that tension is: hope can begin before you have full clarity. Here's what we know is true from this passage and from the whole arc of the Gospel: death is defeated. Creation is being renewed. God brings life out of dead places — in history, and in your story too. The same God who said to Abraham is anything impossible for God? is the same God who rolled away that stone. Which means there is no relationship, no season, no place in your soul that is too far gone for Him. So as we close out the entire Gospel of Mark together, I want to leave you with this: is there a place in your life where disappointment has made hope feel foolish? Could you just tell God about that today — and then claim hope again anyway? What Does It Mean for Me? Questions to Consider: Is there a place in your life where disappointment has made hope difficult? Can you stay open to hope even when life is unresolved? What would change if I believed even more today that the resurrection was true? How would I live my life if I knew that nothing is impossible for God? Want More?

Bishop Jim’s insightful messages help others find THEIR METRON through M~otivation E~nlightenment T~ranscendence R~enewal O~utreach and N~etworking Learn more: www.bishinthenow.com Follow Jim Swilley on Youtube to see the videos live Sundays at 11:11 am – https://www.youtube.com/bishinthenow In this Pentecost Sunday message on Metron Live, Bishop Jim Swilley reframes Pentecost as a celebration of inclusion, liberation, diversity, and spiritual alignment rather than religious legalism. He argues that the Holy Spirit dismantles barriers of gender, nationality, race, and exclusion, pointing to Acts 2 as proof that God's spirit is poured out “on all flesh.” Swilley contrasts the expansive, freeing nature of the Holy Spirit with fear-based religion, nationalism, and judgmental Christianity, emphasizing that true spirituality should make people more compassionate, more authentic, and more open-hearted. The core of the teaching centers on “alignment with the divine” through understanding the seasons of life: winter, spring, summer, and fall. Swilley teaches that many people mistake seasonal transitions for spiritual failure, when in reality they are simply moving through different phases of growth, rest, manifestation, or release. He encourages listeners to stop comparing themselves to others, discern their current season, and live authentically without shame or regret. The message closes with a call into spiritual alignment, freedom, and peace, reminding listeners that abundant life comes from being fully present and fully themselves. Main Takeaways Pentecost Is About Inclusion, Not Exclusion Swilley explains that Pentecost was never meant to become a system of legalism or external holiness rules. Instead, it represents the breaking down of barriers between people, cultures, genders, and nations. “The true message of Pentecost is inclusion, diversity, Universalism… deliverance from xenophobia.” — Bishop Jim Swilley The Holy Spirit Cannot Be Controlled The message repeatedly emphasizes that the Holy Spirit is beyond human categories, institutions, and prejudice. “The Holy Spirit is beyond your genitalia. It's beyond your sexual orientation. The Holy Spirit is beyond your racial prejudices.” — Bishop Jim Swilley Alignment Matters More Than Striving Swilley teaches that many people are exhausted because they are forcing manifestation instead of aligning with their current season. “If you're trying too hard, you might need to just focus more on the alignment.” — Bishop Jim Swilley Life Happens in Seasons The sermon outlines four spiritual life cycles: Winter — reflection, healing, rest Spring — new ideas and preparation Summer — growth, action, manifestation Fall — harvest and letting go He stresses that no season is permanent and none are failures. Stop Comparing Your Journey One of the strongest themes is learning to discern your own timing instead of measuring your progress against someone else's life. “Your prayer wasn't answered? It's not the season yet.” — Bishop Jim Swilley Spiritual Maturity Brings Peace Swilley describes spiritual maturity as reaching a place where you stop obsessing over control, appearances, judgment, and external validation. “Abundant life really is just living the life that you want and being happy with it.” — Bishop Jim Swilley Scriptures Referenced Acts 2 — The Day of Pentecost Joel 2:28 — “I will pour out my spirit on all flesh” Matthew 13:38 — “The field is the world” John 16:7 — “It is necessary that I go away” Isaiah 33:6 — “Wisdom and knowledge will be the stability of your times” Psalm 1 — Fruit brought forth “in his season” Ecclesiastes 3 — Seasons and times Galatians 3:28 — “Neither male nor female” 2 Corinthians 3:17 — “Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty” Philippians 2:12 — “Work out your own salvation” Psalm 30:5 — “Weeping may endure for a night” Psalm 112:7 — “Not afraid of evil tidings” Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 — “Two are better than one”

In this episode we'll take a look at Jesus' repeated warnings of “weeping and gnashing of teeth” and explore what these words reveal about eternal separation from God. Drawing from multiple passages in Scripture, we'll discuss the depth of sorrow, regret, and anguish described by Jesus, and also look at why these warnings were emphasized so many times throughout the Gospels. Using biblical commentary and powerful examples from Scripture, we'll share both the emotional and spiritual consequences of rejecting God's truth. Rather than focusing only on fear, we want to challenge listeners to reflect on eternity, personal accountability, and the urgency of repentance while there is still time.

This week, we jumped into part 1 of a new series about the unseen battle where truth is twisted just enough to deceive and entrap. Yet in the confusion, God speaks light and truth. In part 1, we combated the lie that our weeping is wasted by recognizing the truth of God's past faithfulness, his redeeming waters of life in present anxiety & the tears of redemption for future joy.

When hope feels distant or even gone, this passage reminds us that Jesus stepped into both the waiting and the weeping with power and compassion. Whether you're still asking or you've stopped praying altogether, He is not limited by what feels impossible to you. Real hope is found by trusting that God is working even when you can't see it yet.

A weeping cherry tree begins to “bleed,” revealing what lies beneath—from soil stress to planting missteps. Plus, seed-starting tips and a reflection on where we're truly meant to grow. In this episode, I share what gummosis can tell us about tree health and planting practices, and why repeated plant failure in the same spot deserves a closer look. We also revisit how weeping cherry trees are grafted, what reversion means, and how to care for them thoughtfully.Along the way, I share a few clever seed-planting techniques from listeners and a small correction from last week's episode—because the garden is always teaching.Link to the Companion Blog Post: When a Weeping Cherry “Bleeds”: What Lies Beneath

This sermon explores the resurrection narrative through the lens of Mary Magdalene's encounter with the risen Christ in John 20:11-18. The pastor examines Mary's profound grief at the tomb and how Jesus meets her in her moment of deepest mourning. The message emphasizes that even in our darkest times of grief and loss, Jesus is present, knows us intimately, and gives us purpose. Through Mary's transformation from weeping to worship, believers are encouraged to find comfort in three foundational truths: we are not forgotten, we are not abandoned, and we have purpose. The sermon addresses the reality of grief in the Christian life while pointing to the hope of resurrection and Christ's ongoing ministry of intercession. It balances the need for proper mourning with the call to mission, encouraging those who grieve to eventually share how they have "seen the Lord" in their suffering.

This is a story about loss - In memory of Kira Johnson Charles welcomed fatherhood with joy. He and Kira were so excited to start their family, and their second pregnancy would bring them back-to-back boys. The first pregnancy had been healthy, but ended in an emergency surgical birth as Baby Charles experienced heart decelerations that became concerning. Welcoming their second child during a transition from Atlanta to Los Angeles provided an opportunity for them to seek world-class care. Kira and Baby Langston were healthy throughout the pregnancy. Kira and Charles took intentional steps to select a provider that met their needs. They opted for a scheduled surgical birth with a provider who had excellent reviews and had privileges at Cedar Sinai Hospital. Their doctor assured them that this was the safest approach to delivery due to her history. A Vaginal Birth After Cesarean (VBAC) was never presented as an option.  Their provider, Dr. Kasanji introduced them to Dr. Naim as a backup provider for the procedure. Spoiler alert - It was a racket. Dr. Kasanji could no longer stand for surgeries continued to accept patients, billed for prenatal care, and  then transferred their care to an incompetent, negligible, and callous butcher. We said what we said.  *The following timeline is not exact, but it's not exaggerated.  2:00 pm - Surgical birth began. 2:02 pm Incision complete on a patient with a previous cesarean scar. Cue internal bleeding. Just before 4:00 pm - Signs of hemorrhaging. Charles rings the alarm. 5:00 pm - CT Scan ordered STAT 6:00 pm - No CT Scan. Charles rings the alarm. 6:15 pm - Declared Surgical Emergency 7:00 pm - No CT scan. Kira is shivering uncontrollably.  8:00 pm - No CT scan. Charles rings the alarm. The CT never happened. Charles rings the alarm! 9:00 pm - Your wife just isn't a priority right now. 10:00 pm - No CT scan.  11:00 pm - No CT scan.  12:00 am - Baby, I'm scared.  12:00 am - “blind surgery” to find the bleed. It's not a big deal. She'll be back in 15 minutes. Incision. Crashed. Condition is critical, continuing to work on her.  Bring my wife back.  In a blink of an eye Kira was gone. There is nothing routine about not surviving a non-emergent surgical birth. The care, compassion, and skill that Kira deserved from her medical team never showed up.  There's a biblical verse that people quote when faced with loss, “Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.” It's intended to provide encouragement for a person to move forward. But what if it was intended to give permission to grieve. “For a night,” gives the illusion of temporality. Night is symbolic of darkness and death. Could it be, “Weeping may endure for darkness or weeping may endure for a death. Grief has cycles, it does not end. But joy comes in the morning. Joy comes in the light. It's the grief cycle of darkness and light - night and morning.  Charles Johnson shared his birth story that ended in the tragic, senseless, and avoidable death of his wife, Kira Dixon Johnson. Kira was a healthy 30-year-old woman in her second pregnancy when she trusted her vetted doctor and the reputation of an accomplished hospital system to ensure safe delivery of her child and her recovery. A rushed surgical birth that nicked her bladder caused internal bleeding; she lost her life after a series of pleas for support when she showed signs of hemorrhaging. Charles describes the formula that accompanies nearly every story of a Black woman losing her life in childbirth as, “We expressed our concerns, our concerns were dismissed or delayed, and by the time they did something, it was too late.”  The attending doctor, Dr. Naim, was later found negligent by the California Medical Board. Charles was inspired to keep fighting for better care and accountability. He founded 4Kira4Moms as a force multiplier in spreading the message of systemic change in medical care. This includes better care provider training, transparency, and accountability. The disproportionate impact of maternal mortality on Black women is at the center of his legislative advocacy, better doula and midwifery support, and increased awareness and education among fathers and non-birthing parents. Charles believes that revolutionary care  is that there has to be a fundamental standard of care in this country for all birthing people and doctors, midwives, whoever is performing these services, and who's getting paid for these services, their compensation needs to be tied to their ability to meet that standard period. Charles brought their baby home without Kira. He has faced fatherhood headfirst, allowing his sons to be his guiding force. They sustain him. They are the tools in his mental health toolbox, along with consistent therapy. He works for Kira's legacy and the future of change. She'd burn it all down. Charles has lit the match.

Ecclesiastes 3 presents life as a rhythm of seasons we don't control, where joy and sorrow arrive like tides and never stay forever. Solomon urges preparation instead of resistance, reminding us that each season is temporary and that wise living means building a life ready for both storms and sunshine, often with the help of others. The passage then lifts our eyes to God's timing, where even broken moments can be woven into something beautiful over time. Rather than overanalyzing life, we're invited to enjoy simple gifts, serve others, and find meaning in everyday work. In the end, God is the master craftsman, shaping the mixed ingredients of life into something lasting, pursuing people with redemption and forming a story that stretches beyond the moment.

Jesus Followers Need to Acknowledge the Sufficiency of Jesus, Through Praise, Irrespective of Our Trials and Problems MESSAGE SUMMARY: Some of us and some of our acquaintances have gone through horrendous circumstances. Therefore, we ask, given these circumstances, how can we rejoice in the Lord? Paul tells us, in 2 Corinthians 12:10, that Jesus Followers need to acknowledge the sufficiency of Jesus, through praise and thanksgiving, irrespective of our trials and problems: “For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.". To fulfill God's exhortation “to rejoice always”, you can rejoice “always” if you keep your eyes on Jesus. David tells us, in Psalm 30:4, to: “Sing praises to the LORD, O you his saints, and give thanks to his holy name. For his anger is but for a moment, and his favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may tarry for the night, but joy comes with the morning.”. Paul instructs us for continuous thanksgiving in 1 Thessalonians 5:16-19: “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. Do not quench the Spirit.".   TODAY'S PRAYER: Father, I confess that when difficulties and trials come into my life, large or small, I mostly grumble and complain. I realize the trials James talks about are not necessarily “walls,” but they are difficult to bear, nonetheless. Fill me with such a vision of a transformed life, O God, that I might actually consider it “pure joy” when you bring trials my way. I believe, Lord. Help my unbelief. In Jesus' name, amen. Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 94). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, because I am filled with the Holy Spirit, I will not be controlled by my Evil Ways. Rather, I will walk in the Spirit's fruit of Goodness. “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.” (Galatians 5:22f).

Easter Service (4/5/26) // John 20:11-18 (ESV) // Jesus Appears to Mary Magdalene // 11 But Mary stood weeping outside the tomb, and as she wept she stooped to look into the tomb. 12 And she saw two angels in white, sitting where the body of Jesus had lain, one at the head and one at the feet. 13 They said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping?” She said to them, “They have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid him.” 14 Having said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing, but she did not know that it was Jesus. 15 Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?” Supposing him to be the gardener, she said to him, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away.” 16 Jesus said to her, “Mary.” She turned and said to him in Aramaic,[a] “Rabboni!” (which means Teacher). 17 Jesus said to her, “Do not cling to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to my brothers and say to them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.'” 18 Mary Magdalene went and announced to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord”—and that he had said these things to her.
