Jacob and Aaron, Thanks for your reminder of And Can It Be. I appreciate your podcast ministry.

I love your show. But your new jolting, jarring theme song is so off-putting I almost unfollow you when I hear it. Hearken back to The Big Lebowski's Dude and his reaction to hearing The Eagles. I come eager to contemplate your good words, and ZANG! That song knocks me out of the stratosphere. If I'm the only one, ignore me. If not, please listen. Anything or nothing would be better. PLEASE!
We repeat the readings every three years. How can they continue to have a fresh impact on me?.Same Old Song shows me each week. And when I hear or read these readings on Sundays the depth Aaron and Jacob bring to each podcast makes everything that much richer.
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.

Across episodes, the hosts map texts from both Old and New Testaments to preaching angles, pastoral care, and lived faith, often weaving personal ministry stories and practical sermon hints into the discussion. A standout thread is how grace, mercy, and the Gospel are made accessible for both clergy and lay listeners, with an emphasis on applying Scripture in everyday life and in congregational leadership. A distinctive vibe comes from the hosts' warm rapport, willingness to engage questions about justice and inclusion, and a tendency to ground theology in pract... more
