Join Fr. Aaron & Marissa Burt for this week's episode, in which they consider the readings for the Proper 16, Year B in the Lectionary cycle: 1 Kings 8:1,6,10-11,22-30,41-43 & Psalm 84 or Joshua 24:1-2a, 14-18 & Psalm 34:15-22; Ephesians 6:10-20; John 6:56-69.

They discuss Solomon's prayer for the temple and the Psalmist's song about God's house, Paul's allusions in Ephesians 6, and Jesus' teaching on the Bread of Life.
