The Faith and Science Podcast

12-25-22 - Observe but don’t Overlook!

The readings this week are either from Proper 1, [Isaiah 9:2-7, Psalm 96, Titus 2:11-14, and Luke 2:1-14, (15-20)] or Proper 2, [Isaiah 62:6-12, Psalm 97, Titus 3:4-7, and Luke 2:(1-7), 8-20] or Proper 3 [Isaiah 52:7-10, Psalm 98, Hebrews 1:1-4, (5-12), and John 1:1-14].  This week we discuss how it is easy to miss simple things or overlook them, but we see with God, this is exactly the way that God like to work.  This means we should probably become more accustom to them then.  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: 
What things have You typically overlooked, that now you're going to slow down to observe? #FaithandSciPod

12-18-22 - Cutting through the Noise

The readings this week are from Isaiah 7:10-16, Psalm 80:1-7, 17-19, Romans 1:1-7, and Matthew 1:18-25.  This week we look at the need to be able to sort through the noise to know what is coming.  This means we can sometimes look to science to be able to see the hypothesis that they think is coming to better understand the world that God has us walking into.  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 have you rejected instead of accepted in something that's new? #FaithandSciPod

12-11-22 - Don’t be Slow to be Sure!

The readings this week are from Isaiah 35:1-10, either Psalm 146:5-10 or Luke 1:46b-55, James 5:7-10, and Matthew 11:2-11.  This week we discuss the importance of recognizing things going on around us such as climate change. This also means that we can not sit still but have to be actively pursuing change in order to poetically see the change of how God is working. 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 in our own lives are We potentially missing where God is working? #FaithandSciPod

The readings this week are from Isaiah 11:1-10, Psalm 72:1-7, 18-19, Romans 15:4-13, and Matthew 3:1-12.  This week we discuss hope even when things are hard and are difficult.  We can see through studies that we were designed for hope and can see how nature doesn't give up either.

The readings this week are from Isaiah 2:1-5, Psalm 122, Romans 13:11-14, and Matthew 24:36-44.  This week we discuss the need to stop, look, watch, learn, and listen.  These are hard things to do, but we can learn so much by doing that!  Thanks again for taking the time out to listen to this and I hope this is a tool that you find useful.

The readings this week are from Jeremiah 23:1-6, Luke 1:68-79, (or Psalm 46), Colossians 1:11-20, and Luke 23:33-43.  This week we discuss the need  for perspective of a long horizon.  This often takes time and is something as humans we really struggle with as we like finding quick easy answers.  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: 
Do We spend enough time looking at the long horizon of Faith instead of the short horizons of Faith? #FaithandSciPod

The readings this week are from Isaiah 65:17-25 and Isaiah 12, or Malachi 4:1-2a and Psalm 98, 2 Thessalonians 3:6-13, and Luke 21:5-19.  This week we discuss the need for us to be open to God to change our plans. This also allows for us to see other sides of God and be able to see how God moves in the world.  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 do We need to let go?
This can be taken personally,
it can be as a community,
as a church community,
as a nation as a world!  #FaithandSciPod

The readings this week are either from Jeremiah 31:31-34, Psalm 46, Romans 3:19-28, and John 8:31-36 for the Reformation or Habakkuk 1:1-4; 2:1-4 and Psalm 119:137-144, or Isaiah 1:10-18 and Psalm 32:1-7, 2 Thessalonians 1:1-4, 11-12, and Luke 19:1-10.  This week we discuss being good house guests and have the question on if we have been that for our world.  Just because we are not home yet, does not mean we can just trash this place! 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: 
Since we talked about self-reflection last week. How often now, are You going to make sure that you're self-reflecting? #FaithandSciPod
