It’s common to go through seasons when we feel out of control. Most of us try to resist feeling vulnerable at all costs. Jesus addresses this dilemma in today’s teaching. Text Matthew 11 Cousin John’s Dark Night of the Soul. Pod 203

In a world that often feels disconnected from ancient wisdom, the Celtic Preacher podcast offers a grounded, weekly conversation. Hosted by Glenda J Wilson, this series explores the rich, sometimes challenging, teachings of the Bible, framing them not as distant historical artifacts but as vibrant, practical guides for modern living. The discussions avoid theological jargon, focusing instead on the core human experiences of faith, doubt, love, and purpose found within scripture. Each episode feels like a thoughtful chat, unpacking stories and parables to reveal their enduring relevance for our relationships, work, and inner lives. This isn't about lofty sermons but about finding tangible connection and quiet reflection. Whether you have a long-standing faith practice or are simply exploring spiritual questions, the Celtic Preacher provides a thoughtful and accessible space. You'll hear a perspective that values depth over dogma, inviting listeners to consider how these age-old lessons can bring clarity and compassion to today's complexities. It’s a podcast for anyone seeking a moment of thoughtful pause and a deeper, more relatable engagement with spiritual life.
