Episode 7: The Gospel According to Matthew, Chapters 1-7
Back from a loooooooong break. I did a 10-week summer intensive training for chaplaincy at a hospital that's roughly 45mins from where we live. The commute, the work itself, the rest of life that still needed tending to = intense. So glad to be back at it here...Hope you all are hanging in there. On this episode, we dip our toes in the water of what's known as the New Testament. We start with Gospel According to Matthew, the first book sequentially in the NT. The book ki...

Episode 6: The Book of Job, Chapters 38-42
Back after a long break to finish out the book of Job. In this section, we hear from God directly. Finally! We've heard Job asking for God chapter after chapter, and in Chapter 38, God comes to Job and answers him (+ also questions him). Job is found guiltless and his righteousness with God and in his community is restored. Job's faithfulness is found to be so great that it extends even to his friends (those who were giving Job grief for most of the story). God explains ...

Episode 5: The Book of Job, Chapters 25-37
We're almost through the book of Job. It feels like Job is becoming more and more hopeless. He's definitely bitter. And his friends continue to be unhelpful. One thing that stuck with me after reading this section is how often we attribute natural events to the hand of God. This is something that I've long found interesting, and I hear it loud and clear in this passage. It brings to my mind the sacrifices and offerings that our ancestor humans would make in an effort to bring about...

Episode 4: Song of Songs
In this episode, we walk through Song of Songs, also known as Song of Solomon. We see the roots of this poem in ancient Egyptian and Sumerian poetry. This book landed in Scripture because of its interpretation as an allegory of God's love for humans, and specifically, for "God's people". There is no evidence or reason to believe that these words originated with King Solomon. Listen for yourself and see how you sense God in this text.

Episode 3: The Book of Job, Chapters 15-24
Back with more of the book of Job. I'm going to do my best to wrap up Job in the next two episodes. This book makes my heart heavy. I'm ready to move on! Important things for us to consider in this week's reading. How are we carrying an idea of a God who repays our actions with blessing or cursing? Let's listen and consider how we can get free - together.

Episode 2: The Book of Job, Chapters 6-14
Dearest Listeners - I got laryngitis this week and was not able to speak a prayer at the end of this episode so I'm typing it here instead. Also this week, my dad died. And with the passing of my dad, a new layer was added to these readings. When I read this week and last, the desperation of Job’s words broke my heart. The way that his friends chide and scold him was hard for me to read. When those we love are hurting, how do we show up for them? How can we show up authentically and l...

Episode 1: The Book of Job, Chapters 1-5
Join me as I read through the first 5 chapters of the Book of Job. Why Job? Job is supposedly the oldest book in the Bible. The story of Job also has timeless relevance - what are we to make of the events in our lives? How do we understand God speaking to us and God’s silence? What do we do with tragedy, pain and suffering in our lives and the lives of others? I read from the New Revised Standard Version, Updated Edition.
