anitamathias.com/2025/11/05/usi… Hi, I've recorded a meditation & written a blog meditation on Christ's parable of talents. Our happiness pivots on how we use our gifts! While neglected gifts wither, talents used bring joy & abundance, tilting the trajectory of our lives towards happiness

I've recorded a meditation on the shimmering kingdom of God, with peace & joy & God's presence so available to us, sometimes, though, sadly, all humans live with failure, frustration, grief, injustice and evil. anitamathias.com/2025/04/08/the…

I've recorded a meditation on Christ's paradoxical statement: those who those who exalt themselves, show off, will be humbled, while those who chose humility will be exalted by God. For we are created to love, to grow & to bless others, not to chase glory anitamathias.com/2024/11/07/all…

NEW podcast: anitamathias.com/2024/01/03/do-……A balancing act—being fearless yet prudent, as when Joseph obeys an angel's counsel not to be afraid but marry Mary, pregnant by God—words ratified by new stars& angel-sent shepherds. So he later prudently obeys the angel &flees jealous Herod

anitamathias.com/2023/10/18/how… I've recorded a podcast. Click green button in link :-). To the disciples wanting greatness by proximity to the boss, Jesus offers true greatness-be the one who "sees" people, listens intently, helps & loves. For these are the greatest people in our lives!

@ShaneClaiborne YES!!

Biden is wrong. We should never have unconditional support for Israel, or any other country. We must have unconditional love and endless compassion… but we should never support any country as it is poised to kill thousands of children and civilians. Punishing the people of Gaza for the evils of Hamas is wrong. The terrorized can quickly become the terrorizers. We must never stand with anyone that kills civilians and children, whether it is Hamas or the State of Israel.

anitamathias.com/2023/09/22/don… Hi Friends, I've recorded a new podcast--on Jesus's reflection that with God all things are possible: burdened camels squeezing through needles or distracted, weary women in fits and snatches having their hearts strangely warmed & experiencing God's peace!

anitamathias.com/2023/09/07/how… I recorded a new podcast. How to Find the Freedom of Forgiveness. Link to podcast and transcript above. Thanks, friends!

@djstrickland Perhaps thinking about legacy helps us ensure that what we are doing and producing is significant!

I hear a lot of talk about ‘legacy’ and it leaves me uneasy. Are we really concerned about what people think about us WHEN WE ARE DEAD? I mean, we are dead. 🤷‍♀️ I think more concern about how we live our lives RIGHT NOW would be better. Thoughts?

anitamathias.com/2023/08/16/the… I've recorded a podcast! Deciding to pay temple tax to avoid offence, Jesus guides Peter to find the needed silver coin–in a fish! God sometimes uncannily guides our finances, but not always, for we learn endurance, character & skills from our failures!

@needs_light And high time too that a complaint was made!

Evangelical organsiation Pioneer, founded by the late Gerald Coates, has announced today that an independent investigation into the organisation has begun after a complaint about Gerald Coates was made in July this year: pioneer.org.uk/independent-re…

@debrajgreen I am sorry to hear that, Debra. We attended Ivy in 2004, and remember you, and your 10 year old son, and Frank!

Hello to my praying friends. As you know I’m in hospital recovering from a ruptured brain aneurysm. I am hoping to be discharged on Aug 22. Please can you pray that all will be well for me to attend our daughters wedding on Aug 26th. I couldn’t bear to miss it.

Jesus says we are not worthy to follow him unless we embrace the discipline and "legitimate of suffering" of life in Jung's phrase, i.e. the cross. I've recorded a podcast meditation on this challenging statment. anitamathias.com/2023/08/06/fol…

“That hefty rock, which was meant to contain the Christ, turns out to be nothing more than a perch for God’s angel, who sits on it—possibly with a mocking grin?—inviting all who will to join him in the Easter joke.” —Christopher Bryan

anitamathias.com/2023/07/19/per… My latest podcast meditation A persistent, feisty woman argues with Jesus, contradicting him until his No turns to Yes Jesus praises her for her faith! When Jesus praises humans, it's for their faith, their honesty or their ability to hear from the Spirit

@mrmarkporter Oops, oops. The end NEVER justifies the means. Nothing's worth the deceit, I've come to think!

“years later I have realized that that was manipulative it was devious it was deceitful and it was shamelessly playing with a young teenagers emotions but I've also learned over the years if it works do it … that kid’s name is Matt Redman” youtu.be/O8AFZIRVMmo?t=…

Hi, I’m on Threads. Follow me if you are on it:-) I'm anita.Mathias on Threads and Instagram @anita.mathias" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">threads.net/@anita.mathias...

anitamathias.com/2023/07/08/gra… A NEW podcast meditation Since Peter asked Jesus for permission to try the impossible &walk on water, Jesus called him We sometimes long to do what seems impossible for us. Do it, if you sense God's okay &grab his hand rapidly when you feel you're sinking

@BethMooreLPM will keep both

I’m shook thinking of giving up Twitter. Are y’all keeping both??? I need another social media distraction like I need 10 broken toes. Man, y’all, we wouldn’t have made it through the pandemic without this place and each other. But I agree, Twitter’s about to destroy itself.
