  8-23-26 - Easy to Overlook, Impossible to Ignore

  Aug 17, 202629 min

  These are the readings for the Thirteenth Sunday after Pentecost; Genesis 45:1-15 and Psalm 133, or Isaiah 56:1, 6-8 and Psalm 67, with Romans 11:1-2a, 29-32, and Matthew 15: (10-20), 21-28. What do a dismissed body part and an overlooked Bible story have in common? This week dives into the lectionary readings for the 13th Sunday after Pentecost—stories of quiet defiance, unexpected blessing, and Peter's bold declaration about who Jesus is—paired with a fascinating look at the appendix, an organ written off as useless for over a century and only recently discovered to play a vital role in immunity and gut health. Together they raise a compelling question: what small, easy-to-overlook things might actually be essential to your community and your faith? Tune in for a fresh take on why the little things deserve a second look. Let me know what you think of it. Remember to answer this week's question: What is something so small and easy to overlook, but vital to a community? #FaithandSciPod If you're wanting to hear other podcasts on these texts check out: 8-27-23 - Knowing who You Are! 8-23-2020 - We are Rocks!

  8-16-26 - Built to Last: Faith, Cracks, and Calcium

  Aug 10, 202627 min

  These are the readings for the Twelfth Sunday after Pentecost; Genesis 45:1-15 and Psalm 133, or Isaiah 56:1, 6-8 and Psalm 67, with Romans 11:1-2a, 29-32, and Matthew 15: (10-20), 21-28. Roman concrete has outlasted modern concrete by over a thousand years — and the secret lies in its "imperfections." This week, we explore how the self-healing chemistry of ancient Roman structures mirrors a persistent Canaanite woman's faith, Joseph's forgiveness of his brothers, and a message that God's gifts are never revoked. Discover why a faith that's a little messy, cracked, and slow to cure might actually be the strongest kind. Plus: episode 450 milestone reflections on what keeps a long journey of faith going. Let me know what you think of it. Remember to answer this week's question: In your life, where is the quicklime that's still waiting to be made into concrete? #FaithandSciPod If you're wanting to hear other podcasts on these texts check out: 8-20-23 - Seeing Beyond the Situation 8-16-20 - Looking for the Overlooked!

  8-9-26 - Don't Look at the Wind

  Aug 3, 202627 min

  These are the readings for the Eleven Sunday after Pentecost; Genesis 37:1-4, 12-28 and Psalm 105: 1-6, 16-22, 45b, or 1 Kings 19:9-18 and Psalm 85:8-13, with Romans 10:5-15, and Matthew 14:22-33. When the world's data gets complicated, does that mean we stop trusting? This week we sit with Joseph's brothers, Elijah's sheer silence, and Peter sinking beneath the waves — and ask what it means to keep our eyes fixed on Christ even when the ground (or the science) feels uncertain. A closer look at a real, ongoing climate debate becomes an unexpected lens for faith, fear, and what it costs to do the right thing without knowing the full outcome. Come wrestle with the tension between trust and uncertainty — and what it looks like to keep moving forward anyway. Let me know what you think of it. Remember to answer this week's question: This wasn't stated question this week but here are a few: 1. How do we continue to move forward instead of having fear? 2. Is there a Faith and Science Episode that stands out to you? #FaithandSciPod If you're wanting to hear other podcasts on these texts check out: 8-13-23 - The ”Tension” we all NEED to Walk! 8-9-2020 - The Need for Doubt in Science and Faith!

  8-2-26 - The Vitamin C We Wouldn't Take

  Jul 27, 202630 min

  These are the readings for the Tenth Sunday after Pentecost; Genesis 32:22-31 and Psalm 17:1-7, 15, or Isaiah 55:1-5 and Psalm 145:8-9, 14-21, with Romans 9:1-5, and Matthew 14:13-21. For centuries, sailors died from a disease with a known cure — because people kept forgetting, doubting, or dismissing the evidence right in front of them. This week, that strange, maddening history of scurvy becomes a mirror for a much older story: a crowd fed by a miracle their own followers doubted was possible, even after watching miracle after miracle unfold that same day. What does it take to actually see the blessings already surrounding us, instead of waiting to be amazed all over again? A look at how faith and science both stall out when we stop building on what we already know — and what it means to finally open our eyes. Let me know what you think of it. Remember to answer this week's question: Where are you seeing God's blessings in the everyday? #FaithandSciPod If you're wanting to hear other podcasts on these texts check out: 8-6-23 - Abundance in Plants and Lobsters, Why not Us? 8-2-20 - Jesus Invites Us into a New Lifestyle!
