In this episode, we consider the readings for Proper 9 (Year C in the lectionary cycle): Luke 10:1-11, 16-29; Galatians 6:1-16; Psalm 30; 2 Kings 5:1-14.
We discuss Jesus’ commission to the 72 to go before Him, healing the sick and proclaiming that the Kingdom has drawn near; Paul’s closing instructions to the church at Galatia; the emotive rhythms of Psalm 30; and a young Israelite girls’s proclamation that healing could be found in the kingdom of Israel, even for an enemy Syrian commander named Naaman.
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.
