OK. So. GSMC Bible Study Podcast now has a Blog. I'm guessing it will evolve over time, as everything does, but at the moment I'm visualizing it as a place to relate God moments as they happen. A podcast episode is a bit long for these kinds of sightings, depending on what they are, so hopefully I can share them here and possibly relate them to the podcast. We'll see how it goes, and I welcome your prayers as I move into this journey.
My God moment right now actually directly relates to
yesterday's podcast, an installment of Friends on Faith on Fridays, where I spoke with my friend Angela Breidenbach. Angela is an author, a speaker, a podcaster, a mother and grandmother, and much, much more. I originally had her on the GSMC Book Review Podcast to talk about her books, both fiction and nonfiction, but as we were talking I was reminded of just how faithful a person she is.
Angela is a member of Atonement Lutheran Church, in Missoula, MT, which is where I had my first call as Associate Pastor, so we've know each other about 10 years. Ang lives her faith every day, and it is present in her writing, her podcast, and her everyday activities. She truly lives her vocation through the work that she does, and she uses the gifts and abilities that have been given to her by the Holy Spirit to preach the gospel in everything she does. Because of this, I asked her if I could air that interview on the GSMC Bible Study Podcast as well, and she graciously said yes.
So Angela is my God moment right now, because she reminded me what living a life of faith can look like. I all too often get caught up in the acedemics of my faith, or what my faith "should" look like, and to see it spoken of and lived out in such an integrated way was an excellent reminder. God speaks to us in so many different ways, and this week God spoke to me through Angela.
