June 01, 2026 Sowing and reaping cuss words
Send me a Text Message or ask a question. — Jerrie
What if the greatest damage in your relationships isn’t caused by what happens—but by what’s said?
In this episode, we take a look at the words we use in marriage, politics, and even in faith conversations—and how those words follow an unchanging law: you reap what you sow.
If you’ve ever wondered why conflict escalates instead of heals, this discussion may challenge you to rethink not just what you say—but what you’re planting.

May 25, 2026 A porch, a podcast, and 100 mustard seeds
Send me a Text Message or ask a question. — Jerrie
Ninety-nine episodes ago, Gleaning Mustard Seeds began with a simple idea suggested by members of our family.
In this special milestone episode, I'm joined by our daughter, Christi, and our grandson, Braden, who first encouraged me to start the podcast.
They reflect on how it began, the joy it's brought, and the impact these conversations are having on listeners.
If you’ve ever wished you could sit in a rocking chair on a porch in the Smoky Mountains and listen to stories that make you think, grow, and smile, this episode invites you to pull up a chair.

May 18, 2026Is my picture printed here?
Send me a Text Message or ask a question. — Jerrie
If a faithful member of your congregation quietly disappeared for three weeks, would we even notice — or would we only notice when it was time to print a new directory?
If you went missing from your church today, how many weeks would pass before someone filed a "spiritual missing persons report”?
Are we functioning more like a gym or Walmart — serving those who show up — or like the body of Christ that searches for its missing members?
What’s more tragic: the member who stops attending, or the congregation that waits until someone’s "deleted" from the directory to notice they’re gone?

May 11, 2026 A dose of humility
Send me a Text Message or ask a question. — Jerrie
In this episode, I tell the story of a moment that’s stayed with me for more than forty-five years—a simple comment from a friend that exposed a blind spot I didn’t know I had.
I thought I understood humility. I preached about it. Quoted it. Admired it.
But one honest sentence from a friend made me see myself more clearly than any compliment I ever had. If you’ve ever needed a gentle correction—or been grateful for a friend brave enough to give one—this episode is for you….

April 27, 2026 Where do I find the time to do what I need to do?
Send me a Text Message or ask a question. — Jerrie
Most of us don’t struggle with laziness—we struggle with too many meaningful things to do and not enough hours to do them.

In this episode, I tell the story of a day when ministry duties, family needs, study, and hospital waiting rooms collided—and the prayer that reshaped my approach to time ever since.

If you’ve ever wondered how to choose wisely, refuse kindly, and end the day at peace with what you did (and didn’t) do, this conversation’ll give you a simple, practical philosophy for putting first things first.

April 20, 2026 Do you have a head elder?
Send me a Text Message or ask a question. — Jerrie
Every eldership says it believes in shared leadership—until one man’s voice consistently ends the discussion.
In this episode, Do You Have a Head Elder?, I name a dynamic most churches recognize but rarely confront: the leader of the leaders.
Sometimes he’s kind and life-giving.
Other times he’s controlling, wounded, or quietly corrosive—and the group helps him stay that way.
If you’ve ever left a meeting knowing decisions were settled before discussion began, this episode may explain why—and what it would take to change it.

April 13, 2026 People who planted mustard seeds
Send me a Text Message or ask a question. — Jerrie
Most of the people who changed my life never tried to. They weren’t aiming to be memorable or influential—they were simply doing what came naturally.
In this episode, I reflect on the men and women who planted small mustard seeds in my life and opened doors I didn’t know existed.
Decades later, their influence continues to grow.

March 30, 2026 When a church splits
Send me a Text Message or ask a question. — Jerrie
Church splits leave scars that last for decades—not just on congregations, but on hearts.
In this episode, I revisit a painful division involving people I loved on both sides, the fear of being “marked,” and the long road toward understanding what scripture really teaches about doctrine, conflict, and unity.
Episode 92 isn’t about choosing sides—it’s about choosing faithfulness, long-suffering, and biblical wisdom when a church tears itself apart.
If you’ve lived through a church split—or fear one may be coming—this conversation is for you.
