Posting from the archives again this week! 3-years-ago Aaron and Marissa would live to have you join them for Proper 11.

In this episode, we consider the readings for Proper 11, Year A:

Genesis 28:10-19a & Psalm 139:1-11, 22-23; Isaiah 44:6-8 & Psalm 86:11-17; Romans 8:12-25; Matthew 13:24-30, 36-43.

We discuss the Lord's promise to Jacob at Bethel, Isaiah's declaration of the Lord's unparalleled lordship alongside the absurdity of idolatry, Paul's beautiful exploration of the weight of glory, and Jesus' parable of the wheat and weeds.

Marissa is back this week!

We talked about the benfits of a chronological Bible. My (Aaron’s) favorite version is this one:

Hello, friends! This week it’s just Fr Aaron without my lovely wife, Marissa. However, my dear friend Dcn Ben Acone joined me on this episode for a great conversation around the readings. Thank you, Ben for such a fun time! And listeners, enjoy the slightly different flavor this week. Marissa will be back next week!
