An announcement of a new chapter for Trinity School for Ministry's online audio content.  We will be taking a break from doing the TSMcast as it has been done now for almost 2 years, to focus on putting together a more intentional, higher quality podcast.

Many thanks to everyone who has been listening over the past couple years.  You can be confident that our team here at Trinity School for Ministry is remaining committed to providing enlightening, refreshing, and most importantly: God honoring educational materials in an Anglican context.

Look out for updates on the new seasons on social media.  Also, in the meantime, check out our youtube page for sermons, special lectures, and much much more!

Farewell for now!

***UPDATE***
Season 1 of our new podcast - "The Anglican Curiosities Podcast" is now available here: https://theanglicancuriositiespodcast.buzzsprout.com ,  and wherever else you get your podcasts.  We'd be honored if you gave it a listen!

A sermon on Ephesians 1 from the Fall semester of 2000 by the Very Rev. Dr. Henry L. Thompson III, or 'Laurie' for short.  Throughout this sermon Laurie reminds us of our identity as part of the bride of Jesus Christ.  We are called out, deeply loved, and united together despite our many differences and imperfections.

Thanks for listening.

An interview with the Rev. Dr. Johannes W. H. van der Bijl (DMin '12) about his life, ministry, and the sacred purpose of his most recent book titled:  Breakfast on the Beach - The development of Simon Peter.  Johann spent many years teaching at a theological training college in Ethiopia.  There he learned (among other things) the potency of storytelling when teaching the truths of God's Word, especially in the context of aural learning communities.  His book teaches the cultural context of the gospels through a narrative from the eyes of Simon Peter:  "The Rock" on which Jesus built his church.

How about yet another change of pace?  We've prepared two sermons from September of 2019 by two of our faculty members:  Dr. Erika Moore, and The Rt. Rev. Dr. Grant LeMarquand.

The first one was given by Dr. Moore on Psalm chapter 1.  She explains the significance of chapters 1 and 2 as the gateway to the Psalms.  Setting the tone for the whole rest of the book.  Dr. Moore is the Academic Dean, and Professor of Old Testament and Hebrew here at Trinity School for Ministry.

The second sermon was on John 4, and was given by Bishop Grant LeMarquand.  He challenges the common theological emphasis put onto the end of the chapter, by encouraging us to look more closely at Jesus' words: "I am doing the will of my Father who sent me."  In doing so, we take the focus off of ourselves and are able to observe more clearly the works of our Savior: the Prince of Peace.  The Rt. Rev. Dr. Grant LeMarquand is a Co-Director of the Stanway Institute for World Mission and Evangelism, and Professor of New Testament here at Trinity School for Ministry.

This week we begin a series from our tape archives titled:  "Hungry Hearts—A Fresh Look at Equipping Women for Ministry,"  given as a part of the January InterTerm of 2003 by Mary M. MacGregor.  Mary begins her study of raising up women for ministry by doing a character study on the "Godly women mentors" who came alongside each person in the audience at critical points in their lives.  After that she gives her own backstory and testifies to Gods amazing ability to create new life inside us.  She finishes by involving the audience in a discussion about generational dis-unity and how to repair those divides within the church.

Our InterTerms occur every January and June at the Ambridge campus.  More details about the upcoming January InterTerm will be available on our website (www.tsm.edu) soon!

This week, we listen to an interview that was recorded during our "Pastoral Responses" day-long  seminar that was held at the end of June InterTerm 2021 at Trinity School for Ministry.  The Rev. Dr. Jack Gabig facilitates the interview, and is joined by three of our students: Sam Ferguson (MDiv), Kelsey Regan (DMin), and Linda Schlafer (DMin). The interviewee was Curt Thompson, MD,  author of "The Anatomy of the Soul" and "The Soul of Shame."  
Dr. Thompson answers various questions throughout the interview, including:  

• What is the difference between guilt and shame?
• How should the church respond to the overall decline in mental health since the pandemic shutdown?
• How important is it for pastors and therapists to recognize the role of shame in their lives as well as the lives of the people they serve?
