In this episode we discuss the readings for the second Sunday in Lent (Year C in the lectionary cycle): Genesis 15:1-12, 17-18; Psalm 27; Philippians 3:17-4:1; Luke 13:31-35.

Things we mentioned in the Podcast:
-Encountering the Book of Isaiah: A Historical and Theological Survey, by: Dr. Bryan Beyer (with sidebar by seminarian Aaron - ;)
-Lettering through Lent: Prayers, Hymns, Scriptures and Saints, by: Lorelei Woreland
-What a Friend We Have In Jesus lyrics
-Resources for Lent from Advent Anglican, including a downloadable primer on Lent, book recommendations, and household compline service.

-Also: are there more grains of sand on earth or stars in the sky? Short version: Astronomers  mathematically estimate that, in a mind-blowing testimony to the complexity and majesty of creation, there are more stars in the observable universe than sand on earth's beaches. And we must fill in the blanks with our imaginations to hypothesize magnitudes beyond that.

Our outro music is an original song by our friend Dcn. Jeremiah Webster, a poet and professor whose giftedness is rivaled by his humbleness. You can find his published works, including After So Many Fires, with a quick Google.
