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.
