Mind the Gap: Lectionary Commentary

Whether you are using the assigned texts for All Saints or sticking to those for the 23rd Sunday after Pentecost, we spend some time in the psalms thinking about how our bodies express grief and carry reminders of God's promises. We also chat about things that literally and figuratively imprison us.

How do we find God's presence in the storms of life when God doesn't speak? Can promises and blessings impact generations the way trauma can? We're covering gaps from Genesis and the Psalms in this week's episode!

Listeners, each and every one of you is fearfully and wonderfully made. This is most certainly true. In this episode we discuss a gap from the semi-continuous Psalm for the 8th Sunday after Pentecost and gaps from the gospel readings for the 8th and 9th Sundays after Pentecost. If you're going to be at the Rostered Ministers Gathering in Phoenix, look for us to say hi!
