9-28-25 - Blood, Wealth, and the Call to Give
Sep 22, 2025
Sep 22, 2025
29 min
The readings for this week for the Sixteenth Sunday after Pentecost are Jeremiah 32:1-3a, 6-15 and Psalm 91:1-6, 14-16, or Amos 6:1a, 4-7 and Psalm 146, with 1 Timothy 6:6-19, and Luke 16:19-31. This week we look into some major breakthroughs with artificial blood. Even with these breakthroughs, we still have big discussions about making sure that we keep reinvesting in the community through research. We have to look into ways where we work to benefit others other than just ourselves. 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 you going to invest: in yourself, or in the community of all of us? #FaithandSciPod

Hello Everyone,
I hope you enjoy this week's podcast and I would enjoy hearing your thoughts about it. The readings for this week for the Fifteenth Sunday after Pentecost are Jeremiah 8:18-9:1 and Psalm 79:1-9, or Amos 8:4-7 and Psalm 113, with 1 Timothy 2:1-7, and Luke 16:1-13. This week we learn from Ernst Leitz II and see how it is important to care for those who are seen as poor in some way. This often means that money and efficiency will not be as high but sometimes we are called to that. As we look at the current environmental crisis, this is a question that we are still working on currently. 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 become less efficient? #FaithandSciPod

The readings for Holy Cross Sunday are Numbers 21:4b-9, and Psalm 98:1-5, or Psalm 78:1-2, 34-38, with 1 Corinthians 1:18-24, and John 3:13-17 or for the Fourteenth Sunday after Pentecost are Jeremiah 4:11-12, 22-28 and Psalm 14, or Exodus 32:7-14 and Psalm 51:1-10, with 1 Timothy 1:12-17, and Luke 15:1-10. This week we talk about the recent potential breakthrough of the Milli Spinner for blot clots. It is taking some ideas that we have had in the past and building upon them instead of staying put and being satisfied with what we have discovered. Instead we push forward and potentially have found a great breakthrough that could impact many people's lives. Thanks again for taking the time out to listen to this and I hope this is a tool that you find useful.

Where are you going to grow with new ideas? #FaithandSciPod

The readings for this week for the Thirteenth Sunday after Pentecost are Jeremiah 18:1-11 and Psalm 139:1-6, 13-18, or Deuteronomy 30:15-20 and Psalm 1, with Philemon 1:1-21, and Luke 14:25-33. This week we talk about the example of a dead tree and what that can teach us. What appears to be "dead" still can provide a lot to the living and is seen as a vital part of the tree cycle. It is a very important part for many parts of God's creation being part of a life/death/life cycle. Thanks again for taking the time out to listen to this and I hope this is a tool that you find useful.

The readings for this week for the Twelfth Sunday after Pentecost are Jeremiah 2:4-13 and Psalm 81:1, 10-16, or Sirach 10:12-18 or Proverbs 25:6-7 and Psalm 112, with Hebrews 13:1-8, 15-16, and Luke 14:1, 7-14. This week we look at flowering plants. Have you ever considered that plants don't all flower at once? Why don't plants flower all summer long? How did plants get to a point of understanding when their "competition" was blooming so that they could make sure not to flower at the same time. There is a humbleness that we can see in nature that needs some exploring that we get into this week. Thanks again for taking the time out to listen to this and I hope this is a tool that you find useful.

Where is pride taking over your Sabbath? #FaithandSciPod

The readings for this week for the Eleventh Sunday after Pentecost are Jeremiah 1:4-10 and Psalm 71:1-6, or Isaiah 58:9b-14 and Psalm 103:1-8, with Hebrews 12:18-29, and Luke 13:10-17. This week we look at this history of Penicillin. We see that there were multiple people who saw potential in it but yet were not able to pursue studying it. The first major paper that goes through some of the benefits of Penicillin, didn't lead to a major breakthrough right away. There was a period of rest to process what had been learned and then it appeared it was something to be pursued. We as people need to be able to take our Sabbath in order to do the same. 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 you take and when do you take your Sabbath? #FaithandSciPod

The readings for this week for the Tenth Sunday after Pentecost are Isaiah 5:1-7 and Psalm 80:1-2, 8-19, or Jeremiah 23:23-29 and Psalm 82, with Hebrews 11:29-12:2, and Luke 12:49-56. This week we look at our environment. It can no longer be ignored. We must address that we need to take care of the place that we live in before we lose it. If we are truly following Christ, we must be willing to give up what we know as comfortable and move into a place that may seem challenging but is following closer to what God is wanting us to do. Thanks again for taking the time out to listen to this and I hope this is a tool that you find useful.
