| 1/24/26 |  Ode to a Small Yellow House (replay) | When I was a kid, there was a place that was, hands down, my favorite place on earth. It was a little yellow house in the mountains of western Massachusetts. But now, when I go back to that magical place, the joy is mixed with sorrow and it makes me long instead for another, better place. Pictures/transcript | 13m 16s | ||||||
| 1/17/26 |  Peanut Butter on Trial (replay) | It's easy to make peanut butter. Just grind up a bunch of peanuts and... Voila! But if you try to market and sell your peanut butter in the United States, you'll discover surprisingly strict regulations. In this episode, I'll tell you the surprising story behind some of those rules and the woman who helped make them a reality. Sources/transcript | 12m 09s | ||||||
| 9/27/25 |  A Dark Pit in the Jungle (replay) | In 1828, veteran missionary Adoniram Judson left everyone and everything to move into a small hut deep in the jungle. But even when paralyzing grief drove Judson to the brink of despair, his life and ministry were not over. His story holds a lesson for us about the challenges of grief and how we can gently point others to the hope that is always available in God.

| 9/13/25 |  Arthur Conan Doyle's Fairies (replay) | Did you know that the author of Sherlock Holmes believed in fairies? He even wrote a book about it, detailing the supposed photographing of fairies by a couple of girls in a small English town. But how could such a smart man be so gullible? This “fairy tale” holds a lesson for all of us about why we believe what we believe and how to guard against falling for lies. exemplapodcast.com/2025/09/13/arthur-conan-doyles-fairies-replay/ | 15m 02s | ||||||
| 8/30/25 |  The Pineapple Craze (replay) | How much would you pay for a pineapple? For aristocrats in 17th and 18th century England and France, money was no object when it came to having and displaying pineapples. I want to tell you how that happened and share a lesson about how we view God’s good gifts. Sources/transcript: exemplapodcast.com/2025/08/30/the-pineapple-craze-replay/ | 16m 59s | ||||||
| 8/9/25 |  A Hard Story to Hear (replay) | I told a group of kids the story of young boy being saved from a fire. I was not prepared for how deeply my son would be affected by that story. It made me feel like a bad father, but over the next few days, I learned a valuable lesson about telling others things they don’t want to hear.

| 7/19/25 |  The Man Who Hated LEGOs (replay) | Godtfred Kirk Christiansen is responsible for turning LEGOs into a global phenomenon.

| 7/5/25 |  Is It Still Well With My Soul? (replay) | It’s hard to fathom the suffering and sorrow faced by Horatio and Anna Spafford. Even after facing one of the greatest tragedies of his life, Horatio penned the words to the hymn “It Is Well With My Soul”. But Horatio's life took a strange turn that casts a shadow on his legacy. Still, the Spaffords’ sorrow holds some valuable lessons for us today. Pictures/sources/transcript Episode 5 of the Counseling Talk podcast | 16m 06s | ||||||

| 6/7/25 |  Accidental First Date (replay) | When I first met my wife, I was attracted to her—but I thought she was way out of my league. And I was right. But that didn’t keep us from accidentally ending up on a date… that led to a relationship… that led to marriage. In this replay of an episode from season 2, I tell the story of that first date and how maybe it wasn’t as much of an accident as I originally thought.
