Show Notes Chapter Markers
In this episode, we consider the readings for Proper 20 (Year C in the lectionary cycle): Luke 16:1-13; 1 Timothy 2:1-7; Psalm 79:1-9; Jeremiah 8:18-9:1.

We discuss the surrounding context of Jesus' teaching of the shrewd steward as well as His wise words about the love of money, take a brief look at Paul's "first of all" charge to Timothy,  and meditate on the lament of the Asaph the psalmist and Jeremiah the prophet.

Notes:
-The Lord is My Courage: Stepping Through Shadows of Fear Toward the Voice of Love, by: K.J. Ramsey
-The Subtle Power of Spiritual Abuse, by: Johnson and Van Vonderan
-Redeeming Power: Understanding Authority and Abuse in the Church

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.
