This is a wonderful resource for anyone planning worship, liturgy or sermons. My fave!
My first port of call in sermon prep each week.
This podcast combines great scholarship with thoughtful, contextual comment and application. The range of contributors ensures a variety of styles, and a breadth of theological and denominational perspectives, all the time in a way that is interesting and accessible to clergy or lay preachers. As a UK listener, it’s good to hear some nuance reflecting the Australian context, all the time with global awareness. At under 30 minutes, it’s a nice length.
Listening to a handful of lectionary podcasts each week is invaluable for preaching. I particularly look forward to pressing play on By the Well episodes. I appreciate the scholarship, breadth, depth, and insights that are shared with humility and honestly. Thank you for making my work easier and better! If I wasn’t a pastor I think I’d listen to your podcast anyway for a weekly dive into scripture.
