In this episode, Rev. Beverly Gibson and Johnny Gwin discuss Bishop Kendrick's sermon illustrating the power of the name of Jesus and all of the ways we do and do not honor him when we use it. Plus, they examine the weekly lessons, themes, and readings. This week covers the topics of the necessity of love in power, inviting everyone to know Christ, showing our faith through truth and action, and the courage of declaring "I am Christian." Lastly, Rev. Gibson gives a behind the pulpit view of the events and orchestration of a Cathedral Celebration Sunday, the arrival of the Bishop, 6 Confirmations, and 3 Baptisms. This Broadway-like production is not just known to Christ Church Cathedral; most churches have very similar circumstances. Rev. Gibson shares how she struggles and tries to stay present during the Mass and the day with all of the movie parts and orchestration.
