In this episode, we consider the readings for the fifth Sunday of Easter, Year A in the Lectionary cycle: Acts 7:55-60;  Psalm 31:1-5, 15-16; 1 Peter 2:2-10; John 14:1-14.

We discuss Jesus' words about preparing a place for His disciples and His unity with the Father, Peter's explanation that we are living stones made into a dwelling place for God, David's song about God Himself being our refuge and shelter, and the martyrdom of Stephen, who is received into the presence of Jesus.

Our outro music is an original song by our friend Dcn. Jeremiah Webster, a poet and professor whose giftedness is rivaled by his humbleness. You can find his published works, including After So Many Fires, with a quick Google.
