  • Revelation for the Rest of Us 2 - Kingdom Dissidents

    Is the Book of Revelation a prediction of the events surrounding the end of the world? Is it a code or blueprint for determining the key players and signs? Or is St. John giving us something more like a playbook for the whole of the Christian life?


    Welcome to "Revelation for the Rest of Us"! Over the next several weeks, we will be reading and engaging with the major themes of the book by Scot McKnight and Cody Matchett. Our goal is to gain a better understanding of the Revelation, and to discover how the images and stories intersect with our daily lives, then & now!


    In this Episode:

    Check out this wonderful piece of poetry from Malcolm Guite - "Your Poetry is Jamming My Machine"

    The clip of Cherith Nordling is from a longer roundtable course "Discussing Revelation", available to purchase from Open Table Conference


    We highly encourage you to pick up a copy of McKnight and Matchett's ⁠⁠book from their publisher,⁠⁠ or wherever you purchase books.

        • "Rattle of Bones" and other poems (Halloween Special)

          Welcome to our Halloween Special!

          Join Fr. Lee for a little spooky fun, as he shares a couple of his favorite seasonal stories.

          WARNING: the stories here are spooky - not scary, just thrilling. But if that might upset you, then just skip it and wait for the Sunday sermon!

          If you're still on-the-fence, let me share a short poem I include along with our Halloween candy each year:

          "On the Eve of All Saints' Day,
          Jack-o-Lanterns light the way.
          God's children need no longer fear
          the ghosts and goblins gathered here.
          For evil ghouls with icy breath
          must bow to Him who conquered death."

          Stories in this episode:

          'Rattle of Bones" (1929)
          and the poems "The Ghost Kings" (1938 -posthumous)
          and “The Song of the Bats” (1927)

          by Robert E. Howard

          Have a safe Hallowmas friends!
