  • Pod Tract 30 Withered Branches or Living Vine?

    This Pod Tract examines whether the Branch Theory fails as a descriptive map of the Church but retains value as an ecumenical compass: a discipline of acting toward other communions as though the unity of the Church were already real. We will assess whether the theory—rightly pruned—can still offer a hopeful and realistic vision for future unity, proposing that its honest heir is the pursuit of "reconciled diversity" embodied in the Anglican–Roman Catholic dialogue and in covenanted full-communion relationships.

  • Pod Tract 29 Is It I Lord? Affirming The Single & Married Christian Life in a Post Relational World
    Is it I, Lord? is a podcast where Christians are called to examine the callings of Christian life and vocation as instruments of God's Kingdom
    Two vocations, one Kingdom.
    In this episode of Podcasts for Our Times, we work through what it means to hold Christian Singleness and Christian Marriage both as equal eschatological signs of the Kingdom.
    We will examine:
    • What marriage teaches us about covenant fidelity and self-giving love?
    • What singleness teaches us about ultimate security and radical availability?
    • Why the Baptismal Covenant is the foundational vow for every Christian?

  • Pod Tract 28 Finding Spiritual Care In The Age Of Anxiety
    A pastoral tract that bridges ancient spiritual direction and modern spiritual challenges. It offers a Christian framework for understanding and responding to
    anxiety and depression, rooted in the reality of sin, suffering, and the hope of
    redemption, while also acknowledging the value of the ancient art of spiritual direction and companionship

  • Pod Tract 27 Called to the Wild Embracing the Christian Vocation in the Everyday Wilderness
    Ever felt like your "real" Christian life starts and ends at church doors?

    You're not alone. But you're mistaken.

    Our newest pod tract, "Called to the Wild," confronts the dangerous heresy that sanctification is reserved for those with clerical collars. Here's what we consider

    The baptismal foundation that makes you a priest unto God Why the accountant's integrity is liturgy ✓ The unique power of lay witness clergy can't replicate ✓ Three practical ways to consecrate your Tuesday morning

  • Pod Tract 25 For The Beauty of the Eatth
    What does it mean to care for creation? For many Christians, environmental concern feels like a political addition to the Gospel. But as Asst. Bishop Kevin Francis Donlon argues in this tract, creation stewardship is neither new nor partisan—it flows directly from the doctrine of the Incarnation. If God became flesh, then matter matters. If Christ sanctified the physical world, then we cannot treat it as disposable.

    Drawing on patristic voices, the Book of Common Prayer, and Anglican heritage, this meditation retrieves a forgotten thread: that caring for creation is inherent to the Church's mission, not optional activism. From Irenaeus to Hildegard, from Chalcedon to Romans 8, Bishop Donlon shows how the ground beneath our feet belongs to the same God who entered it in Jesus Christ.

    Listen as we recover an ancient faith for a burning world—and discover why ecological faithfulness is fundamentally Christological.

    "The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof.

  • Pod Tract 23 The Grammar of Transcendence The Vocation of Sacred Music
    Ever wonder why worship services sometimes feel more like concerts than prayer? 🤔

    What if everything we've assumed about church music is backwards?

    In our latest episode, Pod Tracts for Our Time explores: Music as offering, not entertainment The choir as liturgical ministers, not performers
    Your voice as essential—not optional—in worship

    Pope Benedict called it "the grammar of transcendence." We're calling it recovery.

    Share this with someone who cares about the future of worship.

  • Pod Tract 22 Sacramental Presence in a Digital World.
    Some promises weren't designed to go viral.

    For centuries, Christians gathered around one table. One loaf. One cup. Together.

    Then came a pandemic. Then came the screens.

    Now millions have worshipped online. Many found comfort. Some wonder if the Church finally went digital for good.

    But here's what no algorithm can deliver. What no livestream can consecrate. What no bandwidth can transmit.

    In this episode, we enter one of the most provocative conversations in modern Anglicanism: Can the Eucharist be virtual? And if not—why?

    This is not about rejecting technology. It's about discovering what remains irreplaceable when every other experience can be mediated through glass.

    Prepare to rethink presence itself.

  • Pod Tract XXI : Beyond the Worship Wars -What the Church Fathers can offer as a Vision for Liturgy Today!
    For much of the liturgical discussion of the past century has been conducted within strangely narrow horizons. One side asks whether worship should be traditional or contemporary. Another asks whether it should be formal or informal. Some debate ceremonial complexity while others debate accessibility. Some concern themselves with relevance, others with aesthetics.

    But these arguments often assume a framework that would have been entirely foreign to the Fathers of the Church. In this podcast we seek to recover  that which has been lost in the hopes of renewing the liturgical life of the church.
