I have not been able to attend my church regularly for the past year due to travel schedule. This podcast affords me the opportunity to listen to an Episcopal sermon on demand. I really enjoy it along with Forward Day by Day.
This podcast regularly feeds my soul and also gives me ideas as I prepare sermons for my congregations
I’m not Episcopalian but I have a deep admiration for this tradition. I love these sermons and they feed my soul. These are a lifeline as I continue to try to find my way through Christianity.
This pod has been indispensable during a time of reawakening for me. I’ve listened to every sermon. Please add more! Excellent!

This show offers short, sermon-style episodes drawn from Episcopal traditions, focusing on themes like tenderness, love, unity, justice, and faith-filled action in daily life. Each episode pairs a written sermon with a reader, often exploring scripture through contemporary lenses, social concerns, and pastoral care. Noteworthy is the consistent emphasis on practical faith—love in action, community responsibility, and inclusive spiritual guidance—delivered in accessible, contemplative formats that work well for personal listening or sermon prep for congregations.
