In this episode, we learn that in the midst of death and drought God provides life! A good word for us in the present climate!
In this episode, we learn with Nicodemus that following Jesus involves an “unsettling” of life as we know it and a call to be “born again!”
In this episode, we look at the 23rd Psalm and realize that God is the God who follows us. Our response then is to allow ourselves to be found and to live in the presence of God Fay by day!
In this episode, we learn that our fasts should ultimately lead us to work towards righting the wrongs in our world. This begins by loving our neighbor right where we are!

In this episode, we learn from the story of Samuel that God’s voice is often more bewildering than certain!
In this episode, we realized with Isaiah the depth of our own sin and we are called to confess our sin as well as the sins of our fellow human beings. We are challenged to not skip ahead to the resurrection, but to spend moments realizing the depth of our own sin, so we can understand more fully the joy of the resurrection!
In this episode, we learn that as we find ourselves in solidarity with those who are not in the “laugh crowd,” as Brueggemann states, we open ourselves up to the possibility of hope.
