<p><strong>Synopsis: </strong></p><p>As we wrap up June's reading, we explore three themes that emerge from the Minor Prophets, and Israel's kings: the challenge of rejoicing in God's mercy for others, the hope found in God's justice, and the growing anticipation of the promised Messiah.

Ep. 56 Cover to Cover Finishing 1 Kings, Psalms, Proverbs, Song of Solomon, Ecclesiastes and 2 Chronicles 13-22
<p><strong>Synopsis: </strong></p><p>In this first June reflection, we look back on finishing Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Solomon, Psalms, 1 Kings, and most of 2 Chronicles. Together, we explore three key themes from the reading: God’s faithfulness to His promises, the lasting impact of leadership, and the courage to receive and speak truth.</p><p>From God preserving David’s line for the coming of Jesus, to the ripple effects of leaders like Rehoboam and Jeroboam, to the bold example of the prophet Micaiah standing before King Ahab, these passages remind us that God remains faithful even when people fail. </p><p><strong>In this episode you will hear:</strong> </p><p>1) God’s promises remain secure as He faithfully preserves David’s lineage and continues His plan to bring Jesus into the world. </p><p>2) The leadership of Israel and Judah shows how a leader’s heart can influence families, communities, and even entire nations. </p><p>3) Micaiah’s boldness before King Ahab challenges us to speak truth faithfully and respond humbly to God’s conviction.</p><p>4) Following Jesus brings freedom, peace, and restoration as we learn the difference between serving God and following our own way.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Resources mentioned:</strong></p><p>- <a href="tasteandseek.org/">Cover to Cover</a> Bible Reading Plan</p><p>- <a href="https://amzn.to/4eovhYN" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Broken and Whole</a> by Stephen Macchia</p><p><strong>Connect with T+S!</strong></p><p>The Salt + Light Project is back for 2026!!

Ep 55 The Salt + Light Project: Changing the Community Through Families Serving Together
<p><strong>Synopsis: </strong></p><p>In this episode, we explore why serving together as a family is one of the most overlooked ways to shape our children's faith. Between busy schedules, activities, and daily responsibilities, it can be difficult to create margin for serving others. Yet service teaches us to see needs, practice generosity, build family unity, and experience God's work in everyday life. This is why <a href="https://tasteandseek.org/event/the-salt-light-project-2026/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">The Salt + Light Project exists. </a>We'll discuss practical ways to cultivate a family culture of service, why it matters for spiritual formation, and how even small acts of kindness can leave a lasting legacy.</p><p><strong>In this episode you will hear:</strong> </p><p><strong>1) Service forms the heart.</strong> Serving others helps children (and adults) develop compassion, generosity, humility, and awareness of the needs around them.</p><p><strong>2) Families grow stronger through shared experiences.</strong> Serving together creates meaningful memories and strengthens relationships within the home.</p><p><strong>3) Busy schedules can crowd out important opportunities.</strong> Good activities are valuable, but families need intentional rhythms that leave room for serving others.</p><p><strong>4) Service starts at home.</strong> Helping siblings, doing chores, and caring for family members are practical ways children learn to put others first.</p><p><strong>5) Following Jesus requires action.</strong> Faith is not only about learning God's Word but also living it out by caring for people and responding to needs with love.</p><p><strong>Resources mentioned:</strong></p><p>- <a href="tasteandseek.org/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Cover to Cover</a> Bible Reading Plan</p><p>- <a href="https://amzn.to/4wZY0LQ" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">On the Incarnation</a> by Saint Athanasius </p><p>- <a href="https://forms.gle/FZH1nM1G3LgvKjDv7" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Google sign up for card decorating</a></p><p>- <a href="https://a.co/09ZZ2au7" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">ELECT Amazon link</a></p><p>- <a href="https://tasteandseek.org/event/the-salt-light-project-2026/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">The Salt + Light Project </a></p><p><strong>Connect with T+S!</strong></p><p>The Salt + Light Project is back for 2026!!
