7-12-26 - Sowing for a Future We Won't See

These are the readings for the Seventh Sunday after Pentecost; Genesis 25:19-34 and Psalm 119:105-112, or Isaiah 55:10-13 and Psalm 65:(1-8), 9-13, with Romans 8:1-1, and Matthew 13:1-9, 18-23.  This week's episode wrestles with our tendency toward short-term thinking, from Esau trading his birthright for a quick meal to the "rocky ground" in the Parable of the Sower that springs up fast but never takes root. That same short-sightedness shows up in how slowly we adopt renewable energy, even as climate data keeps sounding the alarm. Real spiritual and environmental growth asks us to look beyond immediate comfort and self-interest toward a longer-term, collective good.  Let me know what you think of it.
Remember to answer this week's question:Where do you see yourself naturally being selfish instead of being a blessing? #FaithandSciPod

7-5-26 - Made for Emotion

These are the readings for the Sixth Sunday after Pentecost; Genesis 24:34-38, 42-49, 58-67 and Psalm 45:10-17 or Song of Solomon 2:8-13, or Zechariah 9:9-12 and Psalm 145:8-14, with Romans 7:15-25a, and Matthew 11:16-19, 25-30.  This week the texts take us through the full range of human emotion — from Isaac's joy and grief, to Paul's inner battle, to Jesus' invitation to lay down our burdens and rest. What does science have to say about all of this? We explore the fascinating and controversial story of Koko the gorilla and the groundbreaking research of Frans de Waal, whose work with primates suggests that empathy and emotional life are woven into creation far more deeply than we ever imagined. If emotions are by design, what does that mean for how we show up — for God, for each other, and for the church? . Let me know what you think of it.
Remember to answer this week's question:How are we going to unite people instead of divide people, and how are we going to handle that emotionally well? #FaithandSciPod

6-28-26 - What the Orchid Knows

These are the readings for the Fifth Sunday after Pentecost; Genesis 22:1-14 and Psalm 13, or Jeremiah 28:5-9 and Psalm 89:1-4, 15-18, with Romans 6:12-23, and Matthew 10:40-42.  This week we head underground and into the forest to explore mutualism — the stunning science of how plants, fungi, and bacteria are completely dependent on one another to survive. From nitrogen-fixing bacteria to the 15-year journey of Minnesota's Showy Lady Slipper, creation turns out to be full of living examples of radical trust. What does that have to do with Abraham on Mount Moriah, or a cup of cold water? More than you might think. Join us as we explore what nature can teach us about leaning into God's provision over our own understanding. Let me know what you think of it.
Remember to answer this week's question:Are you leaning into God and trusting that God will provide? #FaithandSciPod

6-21-26 - Embracing the Uncomfortable: From Smallpox to AI

These are the readings for the Fourth Sunday after Pentecost; Genesis 21:8-21 and Psalm 86:1-10, 16-17, Jeremiah 20:7-13 and Psalm 69:7-10, (11-15), 16-18, with Romans 6:1b-11, and Matthew 10:24-39.  This week in the podcast, we explore themes of fear, rejection, and trust in God's presence even in uncomfortable or uncertain moments. Our science tie-in dives into the controversial 1721 Boston smallpox inoculation campaign led by Cotton Mather and Dr. Zabdiel Boylston, sparked by the knowledge of an enslaved African man named Onesimus, and the violent backlash they faced for embracing this early breakthrough. We draw a modern parallel to the fears surrounding AI, especially its growing role in medicine. Tune in for a reflection on how faith calls us to embrace change, stay open to new ideas, and trust that God remains with us through it all.  Let me know what you think of it.

6-14-26 - You Are More Equipped Than You Think

These are the readings for the Third Sunday after Pentecost; Genesis 18:1-15, (21:1-7) and Psalm 116:1-2, 12-19, or Exodus 19:2-8a and Psalm 100, with Romans 5:1-8, and Matthew 9:35-10:8, (9-23).  "What if the key to understanding how God equips us was living inside your gut right now? This week we explore the fascinating world of the gut microbiome — the trillions of microorganisms that provision your body with vitamins, regulate your mood, and train your immune system, often without you even knowing it. Just as Abraham and Sarah, the people of Israel, and the disciples all discovered they were more equipped than they ever imagined, science is revealing that we are provisioned at a microscopic level far beyond what we could have designed ourselves. Join us as we dig into this week's lectionary texts and ask: how are you going to diversify your microbiome — and your faith?"  Let me know what you think of it.

6-7-26 - Wired for Trust

These are the readings for the Second Sunday after Pentecost; Genesis 12:1-9 and Psalm 33:1-12, Hosea 5:15-6:6 and Psalm 50:7-15, Romans 4:13-25, and Matthew 9:9-13, 18-26.  What if trust isn't just a spiritual virtue — but something written into your biology? This week we dig into the common thread of faith and trust that runs through Abraham's radical journey, Hosea's call to return, Paul's letter to the Romans, and Jesus's healings in Matthew. We explore the neuroscience of oxytocin — the "moral molecule" — and what it reveals about why vulnerability, empathy, and trust are central to both human flourishing and the life of faith. Your faith has made you well — and science might just help explain why. Let me know what you think of it.
Remember to answer this week's question:When was the last time you really let oxytocin take hold? #FaithandSciPod

5-31-26 - From One Cell to the Magnificat

These are the readings for the Visitation of Mary to Elizabeth or Holy Trinity Sunday.  The texts for Visitation of Mary to Elizabeth are 1 Samuel 2:1-10, Psalm 113, Romans 12:9-16b, and Luke 1:39-57.  The texts for Holy Trinity Sunday are Genesis 1:1-2:4a, Psalm 8, 2 Corinthians 13:11-13, and Matthew 28:16-20.  This week the podcast asks a question that connects two very different celebrations — Holy Trinity Sunday and the Visitation of Mary: what happens when things come together? Science has discovered that at every level of reality, from atoms bonding into molecules to single cells evolving into complex life, relationships consistently produce something that could never exist in isolation. Explore how that same pattern runs straight through Hannah's song, Mary's Magnificat, Paul's vision of the church, and the very nature of the God who is three persons in one.    Let me know what you think of it.

5-24-26 - When the Spirit Moves

These are the readings for the Day of Pentecost. The readings are Acts 2:1-21 or Numbers 11:24-30, Psalm 104:24-34, 35b, 1 Corinthians 12:3b-13 or Acts 2:1-21, John 20:19-23 or John 7:37-39.  This Pentecost reflection explores how the Holy Spirit moves through the biblical images of wind, fire, and living water to bring change, renewal, and growth. Drawing from Acts 2 and other lectionary texts, the episode connects scripture with scientific concepts to examine how transformation often comes through disruption and transition. Listeners are encouraged to consider how God works through life’s changing seasons and how the Holy Spirit continues to shape and guide believers today. The episode closes with a reflection on where change has been difficult, yet necessary, in our lives.  Let me know what you think of it.

5-17-26 - The Space Between

These are the readings for the 7th Sunday of Easter or the Ascension of the Lord. The readings for the Ascension are Acts 1:1-11, Psalm 47 or Psalm 93, Ephesians 1:15-23, and Luke 24:44-53.  The readings for the 7th Sunday of Easter are Acts 1:6-14, Psalm 68:1-10, 32-35, 1 Peter 4:12-14; 5:6-11, and John 17:1-11. As the Easter season draws to a close and Pentecost approaches, this episode explores the often-overlooked period between Christ's Ascension and the coming of the Holy Spirit — a time of waiting, uncertainty, and hidden transformation. Drawing on the science of phase transitions, the episode unpacks how elements like water require enormous amounts of energy before any visible change occurs, and how that mirrors the quiet but powerful work happening in our own lives and faith. Just as the disciples gathered in prayer and uncertainty before the explosive growth of the early church, our own seasons of apparent stillness are often where the deepest growth takes root. This week's reflection invites listeners to consider where they are in their own phase transitions — and to trust that the energy being poured in is never wasted. Let me know what you think of it.
 
Remember to answer this week's question:What have been phases of transition for you where you were pumping in energy and it appeared like nothing was happening, but really a lot was going on? #FaithandSciPod

5-10-26 - The Advocate Within

These are the readings for the 6th Sunday of Easter  The readings this Sunday are Acts 17:22-31, Psalm 66:8-20, 1 Peter 3:13-22, and John 14:15-21.  What if the answer to feeling alone and abandoned was literally written into your body? This week we explore how the immune system — with its T-cells coordinating the response and B-cells sacrificing themselves to protect the whole — mirrors the promise Jesus makes in John 14 of an Advocate who will never leave us. Drawing on the 6th Sunday of Easter lectionary texts from Acts, Psalm 66, 1 Peter, and John, we discover that the way our bodies fight for us might be one of the most profound pictures of how God fights for us. You were never designed to face this alone — and the science agrees.  Let me know what you think of it.
