In this episode, we discuss the readings for Proper 8 (Year C in the lectionary cycle): Luke 9:51-62; Galatians 5:1,13-25; Psalm 77:1-2,11-20; 2 Kings 2:1-2,6-14.
We discuss the town in Samaria rejecting Jesus and His followers' response, the freedom we have in the Spirit to love our neighbors as ourselves, the Psalmist's majestic description of God's glory revealed in nature, and the dramatic moment when Elijah is taken up in a whirlwind.

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.
