  Sep 11, 202614 minS2

  If you’d like to share encouragement or questions about today’s message, you can text us. We may not respond individually, but your feedback helps us pray for you and shape future episodes.” What can we offer when someone is hurting and there are no words that can take the pain away? In this episode, Hoyt explores the ministry of presence—the faithful act of showing up, listening, and remaining beside someone when we cannot remove their burden. Drawing from Job’s friends, the tears of Jesus at Lazarus’s tomb, and his own experience with dialysis, Hoyt considers how simple acts of compassion can reflect the presence of Christ. We may not have the answers or the power to repair every loss, but through Christ, we can help one another carry the burden. “Sowing seeds of the Gospel, trusting God for the harvest.”™ ✝️ “Intro/Outro music: Ambient Guitar Magic, courtesy of Transistor.fm (CC BY-SA 4.0 license).” The Spray UMC Podcast is a conversation for ordinary people seeking to follow an extraordinary Savior.

  S2E34 Power Made Perfect in Weakness

  Sep 4, 202618 minS2

  If you’d like to share encouragement or questions about today’s message, you can text us. We may not respond individually, but your feedback helps us pray for you and shape future episodes.” What happens when we pray for relief, but the burden remains? In this episode, Hoyt reflects on Paul’s “thorn in the flesh” and Christ’s promise: “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is perfected in weakness” (2 Corinthians 12:9, CSB). Drawing from Scripture and his own experience with dialysis, Hoyt explores unanswered prayer, human limitations, and the strength God provides for the next faithful step. Weakness is not spiritual failure, and needing help does not mean that our faith is inadequate. When our strength comes to an end, God’s grace does not. “Sowing seeds of the Gospel, trusting God for the harvest.”™ ✝️ “Intro/Outro music: Ambient Guitar Magic, courtesy of Transistor.fm (CC BY-SA 4.0 license).” The Spray UMC Podcast is a conversation for ordinary people seeking to follow an extraordinary Savior.

  S2E33 Sabbath in a Restless World

  Aug 21, 202614 minS2

  If you’d like to share encouragement or questions about today’s message, you can text us. We may not respond individually, but your feedback helps us pray for you and shape future episodes.” In a world that never seems to stop, rest can make us feel uncomfortable—or even guilty. We may begin measuring our worth by how much we accomplish, forgetting that God never intended our value to depend upon our productivity. In Episode 33, “Sabbath in a Restless World,” Hoyt explores Sabbath as God’s gift of worship, freedom, mercy, and restoration. We consider its roots in creation, its connection to Israel’s deliverance from slavery, and Jesus’ reminder that “the Sabbath was made for man and not man for the Sabbath.” Sabbath should never become a weapon against people whose work, caregiving, illness, or medical treatment makes traditional observance difficult. It is an invitation to trust that God remains at work when we stop. Primary Scriptures: Genesis 2:2–3; Deuteronomy 5:12–15; Mark 2:23–28; Matthew 11:28–30 “Sowing seeds of the Gospel, trusting God for the harvest.”™ ✝️ “Intro/Outro music: Ambient Guitar Magic, courtesy of Transistor.fm (CC BY-SA 4.0 license).” The Spray UMC Podcast is a conversation for ordinary people seeking to follow an extraordinary Savior.

  S2E32 Loving without Agreement

  Aug 14, 202610 minS2

  If you’d like to share encouragement or questions about today’s message, you can text us. We may not respond individually, but your feedback helps us pray for you and shape future episodes.” How do we stand by our convictions without treating those who disagree with us as enemies? In this episode, Hoyt considers what it means to speak the truth in love, listen before answering, and remember that every person is created in the image of God. Christian love does not require agreement, but it does require patience, humility, and respect. Drawing from Ephesians 4:15, James 1:19, Romans 12:18, and John 13:35, we are reminded that people are not arguments to be defeated. We can disagree without becoming enemies—and allow the love of Christ to remain visible in us. “Sowing seeds of the Gospel, trusting God for the harvest.”™ ✝️ “Intro/Outro music: Ambient Guitar Magic, courtesy of Transistor.fm (CC BY-SA 4.0 license).” The Spray UMC Podcast is a conversation for ordinary people seeking to follow an extraordinary Savior.

  S2E31 When the Soul is tired

  Aug 7, 202614 minS2

  If you’d like to share encouragement or questions about today’s message, you can text us. We may not respond individually, but your feedback helps us pray for you and shape future episodes.” There is a kind of tiredness that a good night’s sleep cannot cure. You may still believe in God and love Jesus, yet prayer requires more effort, worship feels distant, and familiar words begin coming from the mouth instead of the heart. In Episode 31, Hoyt considers what it means when the soul becomes tired. Drawing from Psalm 23, Matthew 11:28, Romans 8, and familiar truths of the Christian faith, he reminds us that a weary soul does not always need something new. Sometimes it needs to receive an old truth with fresh attention. A tired soul is not a faithless soul—and it is not a forgotten soul. Jesus still invites the weary and burdened to come to Him and find rest. “Sowing seeds of the Gospel, trusting God for the harvest.”™ ✝️ “Intro/Outro music: Ambient Guitar Magic, courtesy of Transistor.fm (CC BY-SA 4.0 license).” The Spray UMC Podcast is a conversation for ordinary people seeking to follow an extraordinary Savior.
