  • Great content. More time to contemplate.

    Each week, I find great content and interesting insights that are new or challenging. Yet when the posting of this podcast is mid-week, it doesn’t give much time to contemplate or incorporate new ideas into sermon preparation. I would like mull these gems over a while and late posting prohibits that.

    Content = GREAT.

    Timing = COULD BE BETTER.

The details of life may change decade to decade, but the sacred and profane theme... more

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Narrative Lectionary 619 (NL333): Rich Man and Lazarus - March 30, 2025
Q: Do you think it matters that sometimes it's just translated wealth or money, but that Jesus often calls wealth mammon?
The choice of the word 'mammon' suggests a deeper issue of idolatry, where wealth becomes the ultimate goal in one's life, causing neglect of others.
Narrative Lectionary 612 (NL326): More than a Prophet - February 16, 2025
Q: You understand it, Kathryn? You know more about wisdom in the Old Testament. Sophia?
Kathryn explains that she interprets this as Jesus identifying himself with the figure of wisdom from the Old Testament, inviting people to choose the way of life.
