Lectionary Hacks
The Ven. Laurie Brock and The Rev. Dr. Steve Pankey bring you a weekly podcast on the Lectionary Gospels. In the horse world, where Laurie lives, a hack is an easy, non-competitive ride to relax both horse and rider. In golf, where Steve likes to spend his time, you occasionally have to hack your way out of the rough. At Lectionary Hacks, we’ll try to make it easy for you, but we might take a few wild swings as well.

The Lectionary gave us 2/3s of the Parable of the Losts, and we tried to stick to the script. We weren't always successful.

We are using a new recording platform, which we probably won't use again. Apologies for some glitches and it sounding like a recording from the 1980s.

Two weeks in a row! Don't get spoiled. This week, we tackle the Gospel lesson for Proper 16C, ponder what it means to keep the Sabbath holy, and allow our imaginations to roam through the Synagogue.

We missed another week, but WE'RE BACK BABY! It is a tough Gospel lesson this week, but we dig in and offer some angles to hack your way through. Steve left his laptop in Lexington, so the usual intro music is missing, but you'll survive.

The tech gremlins got us last week, but we're back and better than ever with another episode of Lectionary Hacks. This week, we talk about Luke 12:13-21 and touch briefly on the Track 2 lesson from Ecclesiastes.
The Working Preacher post Steve mentions is here.

We're back. Taking a vacation after 5 weeks might seem odd, but that's just how we roll. Anyway, this week, the new engaged hosts spend a lot of time looking at the very short story of Martha and Mary. We touch on Genesis as well, and offer what we think is sage advice on preaching Colossians.
