    A soul-deep remembering of the music that held us before theology could.

    MANTRA

    Some embers glow as silence. Others? They hum.

    CLOSING PRAYER


    God of melody and memory,


    Of humming hearts and aching silence—

    
For the ones who believe, and the ones who barely sing along—

    
I pray for each person who listens,


    That they might find what they need.


    A little harmony.
A little healing.
A little hum in the dark.

    
Amen.

    Episode 6: Truth Isn’t Fragile: Trusting the Questions That Won’t Leave You Alone

    Prayer O Sacred Mystery,


    the space between answers,

    
the quiet voice beneath the shouting ones,

    the love that holds us when belief escapes us,

    help us to trust the questions,


    to welcome the doubt,


    to walk the road

    even when it winds and loops back on itself.


    Remind us—

    that when we doubt or question,

    it doesn’t mean we’re lost. It means we’re finding our way.

    MANTRA Your questions are not a threat. They are part of your path.

    Episode 5: The Slow Return: Thawing Out and Trusting What Comes Next

    The ember for this episode: Emotions

    You can’t selectively numb.


    If you mute your pain, you muffle your joy.

    
If you silence the grief, you muffle the wonder.

    
If you don’t give yourself permission to feel, eventually, you stop feeling anything.

    PRAYER

    
God of every ember—

    
For the weary and the wondering,


    For those who believe and those who don’t—


    I pray for each person who listens.


    That they might find what they need.


    A little light.

    A little rest.

    A little grace.


    Amen.
