Through a Glass Dimly: Recent Episodes
Morgan Stern
We walk through life thinking we know the truth. We base all of our decisions on what we think is the truth. We all think we have found it yet so many are miserable. I have experienced horrible things in my life. I have learned the truth the hard way. Join me as I share my stories, wisdom, failures, successes and the truth that sets us all free.
Is the church still alive? Is it still relevant? Are you showing your faith through doing what Jesus said? All of these things I discuss in this episode along with some relevant stories showing how the church is very broken and needs a wake up call.

In this podcast, I talk of what happens when we find out we have been deceived and betrayed by those we trusted. What leads up to our decisions to keep trusting those not trustworthy? So many times we look back and we made our decisions without thinking clearly...and we end up suffering the consequences for a very long time.

What does Jesus say about Cancel Culture and Critical Race Theory? Is it in alignment with scriptures?

Many people do not know what it is like to have an earthly Father's love and Father's Day can be a very sad day for many. This poem is about me finally finding a Father's love that heals all wounds and wipes away all tears. It is an unconditional and eternal love that will forever overflow.

I go through the history of the plagues and causes as well as discussing the first Passover and the preparations the Jews were commanded to do during their lockdown. We tend to want to blame God for evil and sickness in the world but I discuss how the Bible is designed to protect us from harm and disease and to bless us.

The fairy tale "Stone Soup" is a favorite. Sit back and enjoy while I narrate the story of how a community got together and shared what they had to create a great feast! Let's remember this lesson for times like this. We are all in this together and can help one another.

The Story of Chicken Little is kid friendly but also adults can learn a thing or two from listening to it. Be careful who you put your faith in...they could be leading you down a dark path of destruction.

How can a loving God allow bad things to happen to good people? We ask many questions when tragedy strikes. I talk about navigating through grief and trauma and grabbing onto hope and strength to keep moving forward.

ASLEEP IN THE LIGHT- Keith Green
Do you see, do you see
All the people sinking down
Don't you care, don't you care
Are you gonna let them drown
How can you be so numb
Not to care if they come
You close your eyes
And pretend the job's done
"Oh bless me Lord, bless me Lord"
You know it's all I ever hear
No one aches, no one hurts
No one even sheds one tear
But He cries, He weeps, He bleeds
And He cares for your needs
And you just lay back
And keep soaking it in,
Oh, can't you see it's such a sin?
Cause He brings people to you door,
And you turn them away
As you smile and say,
"God bless you, be at peace"
And all heaven just weeps
Cause Jesus came to your door
You've left him out on the streets
Open up open up
And give yourself away
You see the need, you hear the cries
So how can you delay
God's calling and you're the one
But like Jonah you run
He's told you to speak
But you keep holding it in,
Oh can't you see it's such a sin?
The world is sleeping in the dark
That the church just can't fight
Cause it's asleep in the light
How can you be so dead
When you've been so well fed
Jesus rose from the grave
And you, you can't even get out of bed
Oh, Jesus rose from the dead
Come on, get out of your bed
How can you be so numb
Not to care if they come
You close your eyes
And pretend the job's done
You close your eyes
And pretend the job's done
Don't close your eyes
Don't pretend the jobs done
Come away, come away, come away with Me my love,
Come away, from this mess, come away with Me, my love.

I recently was delayed in posting episodes due to losing my beloved dog. I talk about grieving and healing and inspiring stories of dogs and how they are angels without wings who have come to protect us and provide unconditional love.
This is the third and last installment of the series, "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" where I do a spiritual interpretation of the movie "The Wizard of Oz".

So many of us put on the perfect mask. It seems, the thicker the mask, the more painful and horrific the secrets. These secrets are making our minds and bodies sick. There is only one way to heal them. Listen to my journey and the stories of those I know who have kept secrets too and how I was healed.

This is a short version of my testimony. Fifteen years ago, I met someone on an an internet dating site that ended up being a predator. This is a story of being a prisoner in an abusive marriage and fleeing danger only to find myself homeless and hungry. This is just a short version of some of the horrific things I experienced but also hope that people can heal from the most devastating things. Thank you for listening.

As I swept up the leaves in my yard, I noticed a tree growing out of the cement. A lesson in focusing on the light and moving forward with perseverance. Rising from the earth, breaking through the hardness of tragedy to triumph and hope.
People are wondering what has happened to this country and what is to be done? I narrate the Grimm Fairy Tale Story of the Fisherman and His Wife and I give my spiritual interpretation of it. It's a story of ungratefulness. I tell some of my story from tragedy to triumph and weave it into a message that I hope will not only be informative but will bless everyone.
Ever sign a contract and find out that the person you made a contract with defrauded you? Why is it this happens so much in marriage? Why aren't these contracts determined, "Null and Void"? Why can't there be a simple procedure determining someone "defaulted" on their agreement? Here is a story of someone who found their marriage to be a bit overcrowded.
How do you handle when things don't go as you planned? Do you panic? Do you get upset? This is a story of me staying calm during a crisis and having faith and having a miracle happen. It's an inspirational story of hope.
This episode contains stories of trying to earn love from people who aren't capable of giving it. Of finally closing the door and opening yourself up to freedom to love and be loved by people who value and appreciate you as you are. Not having to earn love, but accepting the love from people who already value you for just being you.
A modern take on the old classic Pinnochio story and how some men hide behind the facade of putting on a false persona rather than presenting themselves honestly and authentically.
Welcome to my new podcast. I am here to tell my story and share truths that I have learned the hard way. This is just an introduction episode. We will be discussing many topics based on the fact that we believe things to be true that are complete lies.
