Austin and Adeline sit down with a piece that is part family history and part testimony, written by Margaret Harding about her mother-in-law, Leora. It's the story of a woman hardened by poverty, an abusive home, and decades of loss, who knelt at an altar at sixty-five years old and was never the same again.

Along the way: a grandmother who slipped a dollar to a six-year-old boy and told him a dime belonged to God, a tear-stained Bible left on a nightstand, a hospital room where a woman came back from death because her son had prayed, and a goodnight kiss that was the first of its kind.

Psalm 56:8 asks whether God puts our tears in His bottle. Margaret Harding says yes. She watched Him do it.

Juan Carlos has an announcement about something new happening Wednesday nights. You won't want to miss it, but you will have to show up live to catch it.

Join host Pastor Nathan Harding for the inaugural episode of Faith in Focus Live, the live Bible study edition of the Palominas Chapel podcast. In this first episode, Pastor Harding opens from Isaiah 40 as the foundation for a wide-ranging conversation covering a recent Supreme Court victory for freedom of speech in counseling, the power of God as revealed through nature, and reflections and takeaways from the 2026 Palominas Chapel Campmeeting.

Featuring guests Deacon Shawn Lohnes and Sister Jodee Harding, with Sister Anna McKinley as Executive Producer and Leah McKinley as Technical Director.

In this episode, Adeline and Juan walk through Sister Jodee Harding's post, looking into the question the title asks directly: do you actually realize how much God cares about you? Not people in general. You.

They trace the passage from Luke 12 through its practical and biblical implications, talk about why anxiety is so often a failure of sight rather than a failure of faith, and land on what it means to be valued by a God who clothes the grass of the field and thinks about you far more than that.

Juan Carlos also drops in from the producer's chair, and Austin has thoughts about birds, ranching, and which end of the pony matters. The Word has not changed, and neither has Austin's opinion on foolishness.

In this episode, Austin and Adeline walk through Pastor Nathan's post "What in the World is Happening in Iran?" tracing the conflict back to Noah's three sons, following the line through Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, and Esau, and asking the question the church doesn't always stop to ask: are America's wars automatically God's wars?

They also take an honest look at the theology that frames political support for modern Israel as a biblical requirement, why Jesus' own words about wars and rumors of wars are more stabilizing than any news anchor, and where the only real answer to all of this has always been found.

The full post covers the Temple Mount, the Sunni-Shia split, the Table of Nations, and closes with a pastoral charge worth reading slowly. Find it at palominaschapel.com.

Wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled.
