Why was The Old Gray Moose podcast created? What inspired its name, its pace, and its prayerful purpose?

In this special bonus episode, Rev. Ana✝️ shares the heartfelt origin story of The Old Gray Moose: Short Devotions for the Wilderness Journey. From years of ministering behind barbed wire and locked doors—as a priest and chaplain in maximum security prisons, forensic hospitals, and nursing homes—Rev. Ana offers a glimpse into the deep wells that shaped this devotional ministry.

You’ll hear how this space was born: a Spirit-led response to a world overwhelmed with noise, urgency, and sorrow. This episode invites you into the slow, sacred rhythm of Christ-centered rest, and shares Scriptures, prayer, and reflection behind the tagline:

✨ A few quiet minutes.
✝️ One sacred Word.
🌿 A moment of grace.

Whether you’ve been listening from the beginning or just found this podcast, we pray this episode helps you connect with the heart of the ministry and draws you closer to the quiet presence of Christ.
