Listen "27 | The Ruin"
Episode Synopsis
Is it possible that what’s falling apart is more alive than what once stood strong?In this week’s episode of Sermons on the Side, we dive into an unexpected treasure: an ancient poem called The Ruin, discovered through an article sent to Richard by his daughter Carly. Written from the perspective of a translator of old poetry, The Ruin explores the haunting beauty of broken things and of once-mighty structures now crumbled by time.But this isn’t just about history or poetry. It’s about us.We ask: Could the ruins in our own lives - the broken dreams, lost relationships, or unexpected detours - actually hold more purpose, life, and sacred meaning than the "perfect" plans we once clung to?Join us for a reflective, heart-stirring conversation about God's mysterious work through weakness, the beauty in the breakdown, and how Plan A might not look anything like we expected… but might be exactly what God intended all along.Send us a textSermons on the Side Bible Readings Connect with us on our FACEBOOK page Connect with us on INSTAGRAM @sermons_on_the_side_podcast Check out our website HERE Love the show?
