In this episode, we consider the readings for the Day of Pentecost (or Whitsunday), Year B in the Lectionary cycle: Acts 2:1-21 or Ezekiel 37:1-14; Psalm 104:25-37; Romans 8:22-27 or Acts 2:1-21; John 15:26-27; 16:4b-15

We tackle all the reading choices for Pentecost! We consider Paul's iconic words about the world, ourselves & the Spirit groaning in sorrow while waiting in hope, resurrection breath alighting on the Valley of the Dry Bones, the Psalmist's playful wonder at God's creation, the events of Pentecost Day, and Jesus' teaching on the promised Advocate.

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.
