Mind the Gap: Lectionary Commentary

Sometimes measurements are not about comparison, but about celebration. Revelation can be a difficult book to study let alone preach from, but this gap ended up being a really spiritual experience for both of us. Join us as we talk about dozens of dozens and the childlike wonder of the New Jerusalem.

There has been an occasion or two during the course of this project where we have recorded an episode and then simply been unable to do all the work necessary to publish it before the Sunday of the readings. Since there are currently no gaps in the lectionary until the 6th Sunday of Easter, today we are posting one of those “lost episodes.” Just for funsies and completeness. Please join us for a discussion on the book of Ruth that we recorded back in late October of 2024.

God's steadfast love endures forever, and we steadfastly cling to the promise of the resurrection. Blessings to all the preachers heading into Holy Week. You've got this.

Affliction. Expectations. Trouble. It might be the third year in a row we've talked about these gaps, but the Holy Spirit is always bringing up new perspectives for us. We found some really fruitful directions for Maundy Thursday sermons, not to mention getting to talk about preaching choices for Good Friday, and we hope you'll tune in to listen to us talk about them.

Hmmm, some old patterns are showing up again with this gap. Plus, we get to play with light/dark imagery!

This episode marks the second anniversary of Mind the Gap! We talk about wildfires and climate disaster, Christian nationalism, and our deep need for God's mercy.

It's a double text episode! We talk forgiveness and reconciliation in the Joseph narrative, and we also get to fangirl over mysticism in the epistle reading. If you're still looking for some sermon prompts and illustrations, we hope you'll listen in on our conversation.
