All the Mockingbird podcasts have literally saved me from existential despair. I’m not being sarcastic or joking at all. If you are someone hounded be a relentless accusing voice. Suffering from a heavy shame. Are absolutely exhausted by fighting sin with no sign of escape. Listen to this podcast along with the Mockingcast, the Mockingpulpit and Talkingbird. And hear the good news that God forgives you always, no matter what.

For folks whose faith traditions use the Common Lectionary this podcast provides insights to the weekly readings. Revs. Jacob Smith & Aaron Zimmerman help the listeners glean ways to understand the passages and how to apply them in the world in which we live. While, geared toward pastors who may be using the texts for sermons, it is helpful to lay people like myself.
