The Anam Cara Three discuss the powerful nature (and wide array of liturgical possibilities!) of All Saints' Day.

All Saints' Day

Matthew 5:1-12

The Anam Cara Three are back for a mini-episode on Reformation Day – we're on location and discussing the mixed bag nature of this particularly Lutheran holy day.

Reformation Day

John 8:31-36

We sit down with writer, speaker, and all-around fantastic human Karen González to probe another one of Jesus' strange parables – and talk about how those parables are more like an episode of Black Mirror than we'd care to admit.

20th Sunday after the Pentecost

Matthew 22:1-14

We sit down with the multifaceted, multitalented Rev. John Tirro to talk about interstates of violence, looking at things sideways, and how Jesus is a walking parable. We feature Pastor John's own work as well! Find out more of what he does at johntirro.com.

19th Sunday after the Pentecost

Matthew 21:33-46

Isaiah 5:1-7

Psalm 80

The in-house Anam Cara team – Pastors Tuhina, Tim, and Jason – talk about the worst enemy of meritocracy, how a parable is like a labyrinth, and what it means to take forgiveness seriously.

16th Sunday after the Pentecost

Matthew 18:21-35

The in-house Anam Cara team (the Revs. Tuhina, Tim, and Jason) go off-lectionary and talk about the rich and varied Season of Creation – which runs September 1 to October 4 – and what it means to be human and hopeful in an age of climate catastrophe.

Pastors Tuhina and Jason sit down with the brilliantly snarky and funny Rev. Bre Roberts to talk about how she met Mary before she met her son, what it means to love and honor Mary (even as Protestants!), and how the Marys of this world are still cradling children lost to state violence.

Mary, Mother of our Lord (Assumption/Dormition of Mary)

Luke 1:26-38, 46-56

Pastor Jason sits down with the brilliant and bold Rev. Ashley Bathe Dellagiacoma to talk about those wild and crazy parables, and how one might approach a sermon on one (or all) of them. Lean into the mystery, y'all!

Ninth Sunday after the Pentecost

Matthew 13:31-33, 44-52

Pastors Tuhina and Jason welcome the Rev. Colleen Montgomery, the Director for Digital Ministries with the Virginia Synod of the ELCA, and a mission developer with All Places Together – a completely online worshiping community. They talk the prickly Gospel this week, how to follow the way of the cross, and what it means that Jesus brings holy disruption.

Pastors Tim and Jason sit down with the Reverend Sarah Mayer-Flatt to talk about healing and wonder, how Jesus is not a good model for pastors, and what it means to be in proximity to one another.
