And how are the gospels themselves adaptations for different audiences.Here’s the article MaryAnn referenced about a fellow Substacker and his experience listening to Greta Gerw...

Pop Culture Pastors Hour PodcastPCPH - Ted Lasso S4.08 - “Follow the Anger”Wow this season of Ted has gone fast! And given this packed episode, we expect the last two to be similarly thick with stuff to think about. We discuss the power of presence and present our theories about who’s the mastermind behind recent events... and are both thoroughly on board with a Leslie Higgins detective spinoff. We also process Alice and Gemma’s interactions, and the extent to which having specific gifts and talents obligates us to use them.Here’s MaryAnn’s post about the power of co-regulation, Lasso-style.See you next Monday as we di...

We’re also all in on Tanya Reynold’s incredible acting but especially with her eyes. Yes! (and). We dig into conversations about what it means to be a captain (and extend that out to companies, organizations, churches, etc) and how those three things (Keep people focused on the goal, stand up for what’s right, and look to others before yourself) are pretty good ways to live.

Purse ham, anyone?This New Year’s Eve-themed episode was among our favorites of the season. Despite relying on a couple of sitcommy tropes, there was lots to chew on.

Pop Culture Pastors Hour PodcastPCPH - Spider-Man: Brand New DayIt’s a Brand New Day! That’s not just the title of the most recent Spider-Man movie, but what we hope is a new emphasis in the world of Marvel films—less planetary peril and more inter- and intra-personal conflict. (Thunderbolts would be a great double feature with this one.)We do a little 9/11 reflection in light of the pop culture shoot-em-ups from the last 25 years, and why more modest stories with lower stakes feel refreshing right now.

The first two were messages that were done in a way that was not conducive to sharing in a traditional audio format - they were more conversational and interactive. This week, based on the story in Luke 7:36-50 - the story of the unnamed woman anointing Jesus’ feet at the home of the Pharisee named Simon. It begins with “clearing some misconceptions” then the reading by our liturgist and then the sermon in full. As I note at one point, it is a wee bit longer than my normal...
