Hello, and welcome to another episode of the Red Couch Theology Podcast. This week in our episode, we'll be diving into the subject of advent and why in the world do we follow the lectionary at this season in advent, this particular year? And what is up with the church calendar? We're going to cover that. We'll also briefly cover the interpretation of scripture because one of you wrote a great question about the book of Isaiah. Can we even apply that to our lives directly? It's not even written to us, and we talk about that. So tune in.
