Hashcast

Pastors Tuhina and Jason sit down with Dr. James Hill to talk about the haunting nature of Jesus' Sermon on the Plain. Because of the wide-ranging nature of the conversation – and the importance of taking time to tarry with Dr. Hill's words – this Hashcast will be in two parts, finishing up next week in time for Epiphany 6.

Pastors Tim, Tuhina, and Jason sit down to talk about the act of preaching in perilous times, and how best to approach this sacred task in today's world. Every once in a while, it's helpful to ditch a particular passage and, instead, take a bird's-eye view.

Jason and guest host Pr. Danielle DeNise sit down with the brilliant and thoughtful Rev. Mihee Kim-Kort to talk about signs and signals, the beginning of the church year, and how it's full of (apparent) endings. First Sunday in AdventLuke 21:25-36

Pastors Tim and Jason sit down with our seminary buddy and all-around fantastic human, Pastor Matt Keadle, to talk about the so-called "Christ the King" Sunday, how complicated the biblical (and theological) response is RE: kingship, and how a preacher can prepare for this tricky day. Reign of Christ SundayJohn 18:33-37

Pastors Tim and Jason sit down with the Rev. Tita Valeriano, Program Director for Asian and Pacific Islander Ministries in the churchwide expression of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA). It was a delight to welcome her on the pod to talk All Saints' Day, All Saints' DayJohn 11:1-41

Pastors Tuhina and Jason sit down with the multitalented and multifaceted Mashaun D. Simon to talk about the 24th Sunday after Pentecost, the shimmering story of Ruth, and how God might not show up in word, but absolutely does in deed. Pentecost 24Ruth 1:1-18

Pastors Tim and Jason sit down with Deacon Julie Stecker, the one and only, to talk about that one time Jesus called a woman a dog, and how the unnamed Syrophoenician on the margins shows her pure, desperate faith by challenging Jesus, reminding him (and God) who he is.

Pastor Jason is joined by Pastor Danielle DeNise, assistant to the Bishop of the North Carolina Synod, to talk with our brilliant guest, the Rev. Grey Maggiano, about this week's uneasy texts and what it means to pay attention to the shadow side of our faith. Pentecost 14John 6:56-69; Ephesians 6:10-20

Pastors Tim and Jason sit down with the brilliant Professor Steed Davidson to talk about the bread of life – not just spoken of in the Gospel, but fully on display in the Hebrew Bible text.
