We had a great time from Advent to Pentecost! We’re really proud of this content we’re producing! And we want it to be sustainable for the long haul! To that end– we’re taking a summer break– from June to August. Expect us back in your podcast feeds the first week of September discussing the Gospel of Luke
In the meantime, we’ll be working hard to find ways to make this project sustainable for the team– exploring options for funding and listener support. Fill out our listener survey here:
Also, we know that many lectionary preachers take a break during the summer– that’s us too! If that’s your plan as well, here are some things to consider for sermon planning:
- Topics that need to be addressed—vision, discipleship, prayer, worship, service, etc…
- Biblical books; only 10% of the OT is in the lectionary, so there's a lot to choose from! Consider shorter narrative books like Ruth, Esther, Jonah, Nehemiah, etc...
- Interests/struggles of the congregation… lament, spiritual gifts, vocation, etc...
- Sermon Series: Beatitudes, line by line. Lord’s Prayer, line by line. Fruit of the Spirit >>> the book Alicia mentioned is Analog Christian: Cultivating Contentment, Resilience, and Wisdom in the Digital Age by Jay Y. Kim, out July 26.
