Hey hey! It's another episode of the podcast and today we chat about Jesus feeding the 5000 (even women and children!) from the 14th chapter of Matthew's Gospel. Jesus has compassion on the gathered masses and recruits the disciples to help fee...

Hey hey! It's the 9th Sunday after Pentecost and it's been awhile but we're back with another edition of O, Wounded Head Now Sacred. Here's some things I'm thinking about for this coming Sunday. Stay cool and hydrated!

In Jesus' High Priestly Prayer in the Gospel according to John, He makes a few petitions to God on behalf of the disciples, and in this episode, I focus on the one petition that seems a little inconceivable (and yes, Princess Bride fans, I know...

A GPS map can only do so much. Sometimes when we're stuck in the middle, it's important to know where we're going so we can better navigate the inevitable things that throw us off course. Jesus gives us a clue in the Gospel of John as to what t...

Jesus shows up to 2 disciples on their way to Emmaus on Easter Day. Jesus takes the route of asking the question of the now classic 4 Non-Blondes song, "What's up?"  from 1992. An even older reference could be Bugs Bunny's catchphrase, "Wh...

We end the church calendar year with Christ the King Sunday and our Gospel text is Luke 23: 33-43.  Kingly images that come to my mind are Simba, Aragorn and the Bratheons, but of c...

Jesus lays down the lumber in this little section of the Gospel of Luke and tells the people about all of the hardships that will take place. This isn't a prophecy, but rather a telling of the way things are. Jesus will later point them to what...

Jesus calls His disciples and immediately starts teaching. Jesus instructs them in the ways of viewing relationships with God's point of view rather than our own. I'm not really quite sure where the Partridge Family earworm came from, but I'm t...

In a borderland, Jesus heals 10 lepers; one turns back and loudly praises God and Jesus, saying thank you! This is more than a mere "thank you" like what I say whenever I get my coffee order because I'm Midwestern. Have a listen, I hope it help...

With apologies to George Michael, and for showing my age in the title, here's the Friday Edition.Forgiveness is hard. Following Jesus is harder. Good thing it's not up to us, as much as we wish it were." I believe that I can...

2 parables packed into this little Gospel text from Luke 15:1-10.Luke 15:1-10

Greetings! I've been on hiatus with vacation and Churchwide Assembly, but the podcast is back and today we talk about Jesus healing a crippled woman in Luke 13.

What does it mean to be a neighbor? We are hard-wired to be neighborly, but there are limits and those are hard-wired in as well.

Thoughts and musings for this upcoming Sunday, the 4th Sunday after Pentecost, Year C. The Gospel reading is

Don't look back, you might lose track of where you are headed.Gospel text Luke 9:51-62...

A little processing of the Gospel of Luke 9:51-62. A good article about Samaritans

Jesus just calms the storm and now pigs are jumping off cliffs! What would Jesus do, you might ask? Well, he'd get back into the boat, but not before sending someone on his way. Special thanks to our podcast musicians, Dakota Road Music!

Today's Gospel Text - John 16:12-15Here is some additional reading if you care to do so:Anna Madsen's Sermon on the Holy Trinity

This coming Sunday is Holy Trinity Sunday where we celebrate how God interrelates as Creator, Redeemer and Sanctifier and relates to us.(The dated Batman reference in the title has nothing to do with this podcast. I'm not even sure why ...

The very first pentecost was a time of great cultural intermixing. Something that we aren't as used to in our day and age.
