In this episode, we consider the readings for Proper 17, Year A:

Exodus 3:1-15 & Psalm 105:1-6, 23-26, 45c; Jeremiah 15:15-21 & Psalm 26:1-8; Romans 12:9-21; Matthew 16:21-28.

We discuss Moses' call at the burning bush, Jeremiah's derail into desire for personal vengeance, Paul's beautiful picture of mutual love in Romans 12, and Jesus' teaching as He turns His face toward Jerusalem and the cross.

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.
