In this episode, we consider the readings for Proper 14 (Year C in the lectionary cycle):Luke 12:32-40; Hebrews 11:1-16; Psalm 50:1-8,23-24; Isaiah 1:1,10-20.

We discuss Jesus' teaching about stewardship, specifically the story of a household waiting expectantly for the master's return. We consider the exemplary heroes in the faith who speak and act as though they are seeking the city God prepares for them. We briefly look at the Psalmist's reminder of God's preeminence as Judge of the earth and pair it with Isaiah's damning proclamation of judgment against injustice clothed in religiosity. Over all, we welcome the Lord's invitation to listen and repent and reflect on His generosity.

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.
