  • Episode 5: Proper 22 (27) - October 6, 2024

    Welcome to The Lectionary Lounge! We hope we found us for the practical Bible commentary and sermon prep inspiration (while we have MDivs, professional Bible scholars we are not), and stay for the vibes. Each week Pastor Byrnese (she/her) and Pastor Mikayla (she/her) will chat about what scripture(s) they are preaching on that week, as well as what in life is keeping them from writing their sermons in a timely fashion.

    This week we discuss preaching both the Gospel Text (Mark 10:2-16) and the Psalm (Psalm 8), listed for the Twentieth Sunday after Pentecost in Cycle B from the⁠⁠ ⁠Revised Common Lectionary⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. You'll hear the Psalm text read in today's episode from the Common English Bible.

          • You may have caught Pastor Mikayla use the term "kin-dom of God" in today's episode. This term was coined by Cuban-American theologian Ada María Isasi-Díaz, and you can read more about her thoughts on the use of kin-dom versus kingdom in her book, Mujerista Theology: A Theology for the 21st Century.
