Today, it's the Delmer Show (sort of) -- as Bubba #1 bravely carries on with the texts for the Twenty-sixth Sunday after Pentecost. John is down and out with a case of laryngitis, so you won't hear from him. But, it's all good as Delmer gives a few ideas on preaching the "Little Apocalypse" in Luke and its attendant passages. Special musical guests are Tennessee Ernie Ford and Andrae Crouch, with Soon and Very Soon.

The Bubbas are switch-hitting today and covering texts for All Saints Day, as well as the 25th Sunday after Pentecost (Proper 27.) Give a listen as we talk about "Who's a Saint, Anyway?" and getting ready for the "Big Day Coming." Musical commentary provided by Isaiah, G.F. Handel, and the London Symphony Orchestra with Comfort Ye.

For this 24th Sunday after Pentecost, Delmer and John debate who was shorter: Zacchaeus or Jesus? We also have a nice tune from Gaelic favorite Enya, performing Book of Days, soundtrack for the movie Far and Away.

For this Twenty-second Sunday after Pentecost, the Bubbas are praying --well, at least we're talking about praying. It's pretty important! Special musical guests are the a capella singing folks from Pilgrim's Praises, aficionados of Anabaptist-Mennonite Hymnody extraordinaire, offering Sweet Hour of Prayer.

For the Twenty-first Sunday after Pentecost, the Bubbas are back -- sorry for the technical interruption last week! It's Naaman and the Ten Lepers today -- guys who definitely had a lot of skin in the game! Our special musical guests are the Rijssen Manenkoor (Men's Choir of Rijssen) from Eusebius Church in Arnhem, The Netherlands, performing God and God Alone (composed by Steve Green.)

For the Nineteenth Sunday after Pentecost, Delmer and John are jawing around 'bout the rich man and Lazarus. It's a hell of a show! Special musical guest is Mr. Bob Dylan performing Poor Lazarus.

For the Eighteenth Sunday after Pentecost, the Bubbas are talking "heart and soul" -- where do you put your heart, and just what exactly is your soul worth? Guest artist is the late and great Luciano Pavarotti, offering one of opera's most poignant arias, Nessun Dorma ("No One Will Sleep") -- a tribute to love that will not be denied.

The Bubbas are back...though running a mite tardy...for the Seventeenth Sunday after Pentecost. The theme for today is the "overwhelmingness" of God's grace. We might've made that word up, but we like it! Special musical guests are the Chorale Singers of the Islington Baptist Church in Toronto with Wonderful Grace of Jesus.

For the Eleventh Sunday after Pentecost, John and Delmer are talking texts and slinging the homiletical hash. Our special guest is His Holiness, Pope Francis, who will close our broadcast with his opening of the Mass for the Solemn Feast of Corpus Christi. 

Listen to the end for a special announcement about our upcoming Lectionary Lab Preaching Workshop, scheduled for August 22-24 in the great state of Texas! There's still time for you to register and come join us.

Also, this will be our last session of Lectionary Lab Live until we resume podcasting in September. See y'all after some vacation!

Our apologies for the missed show last week -- but, we're back for the Tenth Sunday after Pentecost, hopefully as strong as ever! Delmer is talking prayer with Jesus and John has a whole lot to say about Hosea. Special musical guests are Lester "Roadhog" Moran and His Cadillac Cowboys (aka, The Statler Brothers) in their classic comedy role performing, Honky Tonk Girl.
