Year C, First Sunday of Epiphany; Baptism of Our Lord

Join Fr. Aaron & Marissa Burt for this week's episode, in which they consider the readings for the first Sunday of Epiphany, Baptism of Our Lord: Isaiah 42:1-9; Psalm 89:1-29; Acts 10:34-38; Luke 3:15-22.

They discuss Jesus' baptism, Isaiah's and the Psalmist's foretelling of God's freeing and redeeming work, and God's welcome to all people.
