January 21, 2020 Episode 015: Capernaum by the Sea: Those Who Dwelt in Darkness Have Seen a Great Light! (Mass Readings for Jan. 26, 2020)
In our Gospel we hear that Jesus moves to Capernaum. Why Capernaum and what was first-century Capernaum like? Our Lord calls the first disciples who were fisherman. What was fishing like on the Sea of Galilee? You’ve heard it before, Jesus says the apostles will be “fishers of men.” Is there more to this phrase than meets the eye?

January 14, 2020 Episode 014: The Lamb of God and the New Exodus (Mass Readings for Jan. 19, 2020)
Our Gospel today comes from John, but wait, aren’t we reading through Matthew this cycle? John the Baptist identifies Jesus as the Lamb of God. Why and what connotations would this have brought up for a first century Jew? Did you know that some scholars believe John the Baptist was an Essene who belonged to the Qumran community (famous for the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls)? Was John really an Essene and if he was, why did he leave? We’ll talk about this and more today in our episode for the Second Sunday in Ordinary Time!
