The Faith and Science Podcast

2-26-23 -Reacting with God!

The readings this week are Genesis 2:15-17; 3:1-7, Psalm 32, Romans 5:12-19, and Matthew 4:1-11.  This week we look at how we are weird to react in the ways that God wants us to.  Our problem is that we often get in the way by overthinking.  Can we allow ourselves to give up on our "Will" to allow "Grace" to enter in? 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:
When was the last time that you trusted that God was in the instinct, instead of overthinking?    #FaithandSciPod

2-19-23 - Change is Required!

The readings this week are Exodus 24:12-18, Psalm 2, or Psalm 99, 2 Peter 1:16-21, and Matthew 17:1-9.  This week we look at how change is a part of the design that God has for everything outside of God.  We often try to avoid this fact, but if you look out to nature and everything else God created, including ourselves, it changes.  Why then do we fight it so much? Thanks again for taking the time out to listen to this and I hope this is a tool that you find useful.

2-12-23 - The Holy Ground of Sleep

The readings this week are Deuteronomy 30:15-20 or Sirach 15:15-20, Psalm 119:1-8, 1 Corinthians 3:1-9, and Matthew 5:21-37.  This week we look at sleep and how our bodies crave sleep.  Yet, we struggle in our modern society of putting aside enough time for us to get the sleep that our bodies crave so much.  Do we do the same thing with God?  Do we not allow ourselves to get to the messages that God has for us because we are not ready for the "solid food" that only God can provide? 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:Have you ever looked at sleep as a holy thing?  #FaithandSciPod

2-5-23 - Challenging our Faith and Science to Move Forward!

The readings this week are Isaiah 58:1-9a (9b-12), Psalm 112:1-9 (10), 1 Corinthians 2:1-12 (13-16), and Matthew 5:13-20.  This week we look at how tradition can hold us back at times from being everything that God is wanting us to be.  Are we allowing ourselves to let God lead us to the places that God is wanting us to be?  Or would we rather go and hide from a challenge?  Science is always up for a challenge and forces us to move forward, why can't faith be the same way? 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:Where are we going to challenge and reimagine our faith?  #FaithandSciPod

1-29-23 - The Difficulty of the Beatitudes!

The readings this week are Micah 6:1-8, Psalm 15, 1 Corinthians 1:18-31, and Matthew 5:1-12.  This week we look at how we can easily look past the beatitudes.  This is a difficult message to hear.  We also then have to realize that this message isn't just for us humans, but for creation as a whole as well. 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:When looking at the beatitudes, are You looking at these beatitudes beyond the human experience?  #FaithandSciPod

1-22-23 - Growing Together into our Calling

The readings this week are Isaiah 9:1-4, Psalm 27:1, 4-9, 1 Corinthians 1:10-18, and Matthew 4:12-23.  This week we look at how we need to work together in order for us to live up to the calling God has for us.  This often also means that we have to get out of our own way and realize the opportunities that are in front of us.  Risk is going to be part of making the most of these opportunities but following God's plan is not for the faint of heart. 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:When have you had to make a tough decision for the greater good?  #FaithandSciPod

1-15-23 - Come and See what You will Discover

The readings this week are Isaiah 49:1-7, Psalm 40:1-11, 1 Corinthians 1:1-9, and John 1:29-42.  This week we look at how we have to have the faith to be able to see the potential in something even if it is quite large and we might not fully understand it.  Then when we have done that, we must allow ourselves to keep exploring and be willing to go deeper to discover more than we originally thought.  That is the "come and see" of faith and in science as well!  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:When is or has your curiosity allowed you to look beyond where you are at?  #FaithandSciPod If you're wanting to hear another podcast on these texts check out:  1-19-20 - Finding the Messengers

1-8-23 - The Power within Water

The readings this week are Isaiah 42:1-9, Psalm 29, Acts 10:34-43, and Matthew 3:13-17.  This week we look at the power within water in all it's forms.  Yet, it also is used to clean and sustain us while being a symbol of God's forgiveness for us.  Quite amazing when you think about it.  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 often, when you interact with water, do you think about baptism in your forgiveness?  #FaithandSciPod

5th Birthday of the Podcast!

Surprise!  We have made it to 5 Years of doing the Faith and Science Podcast.  It has been quite a ride and I am so thankful for everyone tuning in and listening over the last half decade.  I am excited with some ideas for the podcast next year and I look forward to seeing where this continues to go.Here's to the next 5 years and Thank you for all the support,Tyler Bublitz

1-1-23 - Scientist Refugee

The readings this week are either from the First Sunday after Christmas, [Isaiah 63:7-9, Psalm 148, Hebrews 2:10-18, and Matthew 2:13-23] or the Holy Name of Jesus, [Numbers 6:22-27, Psalm 8, Galatians 4:4-7, or Philippians 2:5-11, and Luke 2:15-21] or New Year's Day [Ecclesiastes 3:1-13, Psalm 8, Revelation 21:1-6a, and Matthew 25:31-46].  This week we talk about how many scientists have been refugees and making sure that we all live up to the fulfillment of what God has called us to be.  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 going to welcome the "other"?  #FaithandSciPod
