The Lukan Jump episodes
- Homily for the Encounter - February 2, 2026
Jesus Christ submits to His own law. Why does this matter?

A saying from the Desert Fathers relates rather well to the Parable of the Prodigal Son

On the Sunday after Theophany, I reflected on the true signs of the Kingdom of God.
6 min - Excused from Joy? - December 14, 2025
When we make excuses for not living a Christian life, are we in fact excusing ourselves from a good time?
5 min - Finding the Will of God - December 7, 2025
We can overcomplicate discerning God's will. Hopefully this homily will help simplify things.

Christians are called to be more than just good people. But what exactly are we called to? I took a swing at explaining it.

St. Paul tells us that we are the place where God dwells. Are we living accordingly?

Do we practice our faith, with faith? Or do we live it out the same way we "read and understand the terms and conditions" of a EULA?

My homily from a few weeks ago on the feast of Bl. Theodore Romzha, martyred bishop of Mukachevo.

About The Lukan Jump
From the publisher's feed
The homilies and reflections of a young Byzantine Catholic priest trying to figure it all out!
The (actual) Lukan Jump is a more or less yearly occurrence in the lectionary of the Byzantine rite. "The Lukan Jump" is the podcast location of homilies by a Byzantine Catholic priest who starts bouncing around when he gets excited about something.
Fr. Luke is a priest of the Byzantine Catholic Archeparchy (Archdiocese) of Pittsburgh, and serves as administrator of St. Mary's Byzantine Catholic Church in Weirton, WV and St. John the Baptist Byzantine Catholic Church in Avella, PA. He can often be found at such fine institutions as Tudor's Biscuit World, Osaka Japan, and Chico Fiesta, all in Weirton.
