The readings for this week are either for the 23rd Sunday after Pentecost which are either Ruth 1:1-18 and Psalm 146, or Deuteronomy 6:1-9 and Psalm 119:1-8, Hebrews 9:11-14, and Mark 12:28-34. Alternatively the Reformation Sunday texts are Jeremiah 31:31-34, Psalm 46, Romans 3:19-28, and John 8:31-36. This week we talk about trees. First how similar these texts are and second how we need to continue to expand either personally or in the community as a whole. Thanks again for taking the time out to listen to this and I hope this is a tool that you find useful.

Remember to answer this week's question: How are you challenging your faith right now so it can grow? #FaithandSciPodcast

I look forward to all of your feedback, Tyler Bublitz
