Episode 29: An Interview with Melanie Springer Mock

In this episode we can wax rhapsodic about the gentle breezy days of the Spring of 2019. That’s when the interview with Melanie Springer Mock was actually recorded.

Episode 28: Mark Karris and Religious Refugees

Mark Gregory Karris is one of those deconstructionists that like to help people put things back together again. We wanted to learn about his recent book, Religious Refugees: (De)constructing Toward Spiritual and Emotional Healing after our church, Emmaus Christian Fellowship, had read his earlier book, Divine Echoes: Reconciling Prayer with the Uncontrolling Love of God ., and I thought his latest book would be good for our congregation to learn about....

episode 3.12 in which our host agree Peter was not a dolt & interview with Preston Pouteaux

Topics: Fasting; Time management; Lent; Country music; return of the sun and gardening; and Hockey, or soccer, or badminton. Check out the links below, or go to https://www.themissionplace.org/allthatsholybluecollar/ to review the lists of books, articles, music, movies, and other resources. Some of these might be great to worship resources, but more likely, ways to expand our imaginations.

episode 3.11 in which our hosts discuss dust & ashes

Liturgical Seasons Transfiguration Why is this the “entry point”/transition in to Lent? Divinity gazing at humanity gazing at divinity (Mutual gaze of humanity and divinity) Was Peter an idiot? OR a genius? Ash Wednesday Why ashes? Why the forehead? Why is it an “imposition of ashes”? Who does it? What is said? Focused on sin or focused on humility and mortality? Lent Many associations, which to focus on? 40-days in the wilderness or 40-years in the exodus? Fasting as refraining from, or clearin...

episode 3.10 in which our hosts discover their signature sound

Episode 3.10 IN WHICH OUR HOSTS DISCOVER THEIR SIGNATURE SOUND We’re still in one of the longest seasons after Epiphany, but it is not too soon to think about Ash Wednesday coming up, and the season of Lent. There’s all kinds of symbolism and tradition mixed in with this season. Also, baseball begins ( https://www.springtrainingonline.com/reporting-dates/ ). Baseball is coming, pitchers and catcher report in a couple of weeks. Time to remember why baseball is better than football with George Car...

episode 3.9 in which our hosts demonstrate that they don't edit their podcast

continuing conversation regarding the Season after Epiphany and resources for preaching, teaching, and shaping mission

episode 3.8 in which our hosts learn about volleyball and hospitality

We have an episode co-host and interviewee, Sarah Jackson of Casa De Paz, Denver, Colorado (Note: take a look at the photo, by Anthony Camera on the podcast page , I love the netting on the volleyball net and the ball that looks like a globe - cool!) We blathered and yacked (verb, past tense: trivial or unduly persistent conversation) about some of the following topics and ideas in the podcast. But for the most part, we got to know Sarah Jackson and life at Casa De Paz. Please look at the follow...

episode 3.7 in which our hosts seek a daily apocalypse

As we get ready to jump into Epiphany, we look at the key themes of the season and grab onto an idea that helps us frame our conversations around the season. Of the many themes that arise in the lectionary texts for this year in the lectionary, the epiphany theme of “revealing” and of “unveiling” emerge. That which is being revealed is the light of God in Jesus of Nazareth. With each week, a new story unveils a previously unseen aspect of God-with-us.

Episode 3.6 in which Christmas is almost here!

Please, don’t leave Christmas so soon. We have twelve days to let the idea of hope, peace, joy, and love sink in a bit. For some, there are days of from work. For others, there are days off from school. And for some, there are no days off at all. So lengthen out the season, so that when Epiphany comes along on January 6th, Christmas can lift you into a season of seeing God show up in the simple and the subtle.

Season 3.5 in which we talk to The Outlaw Theologian of Love, Advent 4

We go to the school of love with our special co-host, The Outlaw Theologian of Love, a.k.a. Dr Thomas Jay Oord. Tom helps us understand the broader theological themes of love and the different types of love described in the Bible. As we go through the lectionary texts for Advent Week 4, Tom helps us see themes of love in selected texts.

Season 3.4 in which Christmas takes on a blue-ish shade

Not everyone, all the time, experiences the season of Advent and Christmas with the same feelings of joy and celebration. Some days may be better, some days may be difficult. There might be gaps in the family circles where broken relationships, distance, or death are broken bonds. Disappointment, regret, and sorrow are often magnified. Feelings of inadequacy, of “not measuring up”, or just not meeting our own expectations of where we thought we’d be 12 months ago when the year was fresh and new ...

Season 3.3 in which our hosts talk about joy - Advent 3

Cody and Craig have put together a bunch of resources for you to peruse and get more background on the topic of joy and happiness. Articles, research, books, movies, and music are here for you to dive into to bring all the joy you can muster. These are not bible studies, commentaries, or history on the bible. Just stuff about happiness, well-being, and music that makes us happy. Cody interviews Gavin Rogers, a pastor walking with the migrant caravan.

Season 3.2 in which our hosts begin a two week streak

While not quite qualifying as real movie critics, we discuss the issues related to wandering underdogs and aliens (real intergalactic aliens), and refugees at our borders. The contemporary news bears witness to the relevance of the Advent themes.

Season 3.1 ...in which our hosts try to remember how to

Codemaster Cody and Crash-test Craig decided to record their conversation. After about two years of talking about podcasting and planning podcast episodes, we just decided to record. So here it is. What is different this time around: * It is just us on this recording. If we can get Christina to join us, or Justin, we’d be thrilled. * We are planning interviews, but there are not any on this episode. * Editing is a slow process and a pain in the neck. So we are playing around with technology that...
