August 13, 2024 The New and True Ark of the Covenant (Aug 15, 2024)
Provided with two sets of first readings, the Church beckons us to look both backward and forward to understand our Gospel and the feast of the Assumption at hand. Diving into Luke as well as our Old Testament first reading we see the evangelist draw clear parallels between David's reception of the Ark of the Covenant at Jerusalem and Elizabeth's reception of the new Ark just outside Jerusalem. Then looking forward to our reading from Revelation we realize that just as Mary went up to Jerusalem at the visitation God brings her up to the new Jerusalem once and for all at her glorious assumption.

July 23, 2024 When the Messiah Comes the Manna Will Return! (Jul 28, 2024+)
Over the next several weeks the Church breaks from Mark’s Gospel, pivoting instead to John 6. Encountering the people’s hunger, Our Lord feeds them with the miraculous multiplication of loaves and fish. The Scriptures then recount a fascinating response to the miracle: the people want to make Jesus king. Delving into the history of the Old Testament manna as well as the Jewish tradition surrounding it, we explore an explanation for the people’s desire to place Our Lord upon the throne, one in which the multiplied bread is seen as none other than new manna!

July 16, 2024 Jesus Goes With His Gut (Jul 21, 2024)
The Twelve return from their initial missionary outreach, their success evidenced by the continually growing crowds. Unable to find time even to eat, Jesus invites the disciples to follow him to a place of solitude. The people, however, are undeterred and follow on foot, beating Jesus to his destination. What Our Lord does next shows the tenderness of his heart. Moved with compassion he provides for their needs and in so doing he continues echoing a new Exodus theme while taking upon himself the role of a new Moses and a new Joshua.

July 09, 2024 The Apostles and the New Exodus (Jul 14, 2024)
Jesus called the Twelve to himself in the beginning of Mark's Gospel. Now he sends them out two-by-two to do the very works that he has done. Exploring Our Lord's pre-departure instructions we discover several connections to not only the Old Testament but also first century culture. Through these connections we see Jesus distinguishing his followers from some (like itinerant Greek philosophers) but also associating them with others (like the Old Testament people of God). Through our Gospel we'll discover the Twelve acting in the person of Christ and in so doing inaugurating the New Exodus. Join Katie's weekly newsletter and get a free audio download of her

July 02, 2024 An Unwelcome Reception in Nazareth (Jul 7, 2024)
Jesus travels home to Nazareth in our Gospel today but the reception he receives is far from warm. Comparing and contrasting our episode with an earlier synagogue encounter in Capernaum we realize that those who reject God often have the same evidence for belief as those who accept him. At the end of the day we have to decide - with the same evidence that the people of Israel had - is this man who he says he is? Join Katie's weekly newsletter and get a free audio download of her

July 01, 2024 Jairus' Daughter and the Hemorrhaging Woman (Jun 30, 2024)
The long form of our Gospel today provides us with two miracles which Mark sandwiches together: the raising of Jairus' daughter and the healing of the hemorrhaging woman. Contextualizing these stories in light of Levitical purity laws reveals a deeper message lingering below the surface: not only does Jesus desire to heal us physically but he also wants to restore us spiritually. At the end of the day, the story serves as a spiritual summons to see life's happenings through the eyes of Him who banishes illness and reverses death itself.

June 18, 2024 Jonah, Jesus, and Sailing on the Sea of Galilee (Jun 23, 2024)
In one of his most amazing feats, Jesus sleeps through a mega-storm on the Sea of Galilee. We'll spend our time together uncovering the quite detailed picture archaeology can paint for us about seafaring in first century Palestine and we'll also unveil some fascinating parallels between our Gospel and the Old Testament Book of Jonah. At the end of the day what we discover in our Gospel is not so much a God aloof in the face of our fears but a Son carefree in His trust of the Father and desiring the same for us.

June 11, 2024 The Hardy and Invasive Kingdom of God (Jun 16, 2024)
We return to the heart of Mark's Gospel and Our Lord's teaching in our episode today, exploring some of his many parables. What becomes quickly evident in our survey of his teaching is that Jesus' words contain a surface profundity in and of themselves and yet at the same time reveal a depth of meaning that could be sounded for an eternity. Turning to the parables themselves, we'll unveil their subtle allusions to the Old Testament texts, revealing not only a poetic description of the Kingdom of God but a promise of spiritual life and conversion should we open ours ears to hear.

June 05, 2024 Jesus the Plunderer (Jun 9, 2024)
Jesus is in his adoptive hometown of Capernaum, visited by great throngs of both supporters and adversaries. Among the latter are scribes from Jerusalem and members of his own family traveling from Nazareth to confront him. Accused of being possessed by the devil, Our Lord uses the famed “House Divided” parable to put them to shame. Comparing and contrasting the ensuing dialogue, clear parallels emerge that paint Jesus as the mighty victor come to ransack Satan and steal us back for himself should we only be willing to accept His salvation.
