Joining Co-Hosts Eva and Darrell is a special guest J Kent "Red" Skelton. the first episode covers Genesis chapters 11 & 12. An interesting twist of things where Abram let his wife Serai, become a member of Pharaoh's household. the problem is that Abram told Pharaoh that Serai was his sister, not his wife. Abram did this to gain some of his own financial rewards and save his life. However, when Pharaoh found out that Sarai was not who he thought she was, he told Abram to take Serai and all the rewards with him and get out of country. What we discover is that humanity is once again at finding dysfunctional faults by building the tower of Babel (confusion) and God isn't having it. He scatters people into their own lands and cultures. This episode of The Revivalists includes a special second hour to cover the moral injury, healing, and recovery. We had quite the discussion and a new question that Eva asked to stimulate our brains. How did Satan survive the flood?

In this episode of From Pain to Purpose - Samantha Epperson joins me to talk about her start---stop journey in obtaining her education. Being a first generation college student, it has been a journey and goal of hers to embark on reaching higher education goals but also embody her spiritual growth.

As we finish out the year 2025 Darrell and Eva talked about two chapters - Genesis Chapters 9 & 10. After the Great Flood, Noah and his family were tasked with going forth and multiplying. Though we know that Noah still walked with God, his descendants, not so much. Canaan had an issue with how he found drunken Noah on the floor. Instead of honoring him as he was and covering him up, he made sure others knew. We also saw the growth of the family tree along with the nations of "ites". Most importantly, God signaled the forever covenant with people on the earth that he would never destroy the entire population again. The reminder of that covenant is the rainbows in the clouds. Though there will be storms in life, the reminder is the promise of the rainbow and the everlasting covenant of God's love for mankind. 

This week Brian Sims, current National Director of Project Rebirth joins us to share his pain to purpose journey and how the peer support network is shaping our veteran community. From the issue with the recent moral injury DSM designation and why PTS therapies are not working, how trauma informed care has its own issues with substance abuse compared to substance misuse, to veteran problem with mask wearing versus addressing the core issues.

Brian shares a BIG announcement at the end of the show so make sure you listen to the very end!  Funny how the delay in Brian coming on the show was delayed but it was meant to be in God's time! 

Thanks for joining us Brian and I'm sure our paths will cross in the future! 

Great discussion on Genesis Chapter 8 today! Noah and his entire family learned to play a bit of "hurry up and wait" after the flood. Took sending out ravens and then the doves several times before Noah could remove the cover off the ark and the ground to dry before everyone and the animals could depart the ark.

Wonder what it was like waiting for God to say when? How to have that kind of patience to follow instructions diligently for all those years? how to trust God that everything is in HIS time, not ours.

We cover the aspects of moral injury into moral healing and recovery. Perhaps the season of discovering new surroundings after getting out of the military is like the season of Noah and his family. Shedding the old self and discovering our new selves, our new purpose.

No guest this week, it is just me telling my Christmas stories of past and present. Some good, some not so good. This year feels a little different but I'm not going to live life any differently. I will keep putting one foot in front of the other and trusting God to direct my path. Merry Christmas all! Check 1! 

Join Chaplain Darrell Hartley and Eva Fulton as we cover Genesis Chapter 7 and the Great Flood. The Revivalist intent is to bring forth the gospel into our lives in such a way that we bridge the gap between moral injury into moral recovery and healing. We do this by discussing the biblical word and its context in human nature. Consider this, that Noah, his wife, sons and daughters in law followed God's direction to build an ark (Genesis Chapter 6) and now the rains come - 40 days and 150 more days for the waters to recede. That was surely traumatic! If you know us by now, we have questions for God too. What did they do on the ark all that time? Is that really the first time it rained? Come join the conversation! 

Thank you for listening to the Mighty People Garden Podcast. This series is the E-Effect which is a series of words that I found interesting to discuss on how we can live our lives better as people gardeners to navigate towards fulfilling God's purpose in us. Prior words have been Emmanuel, Evaluate, Elevate (my word for 2025), Evangelize. This episode focuses on the word Entrust from 1 Timothy 6:11-21. Entrust means to commit to another with confidence. God has entrusted us to share His news and be good stewards of his commandments. As we go about our lives and growing our confidence in God then let us go forward and be entrusted to share with others.
