Lectionary Hacks
The Ven. Laurie Brock Pankey 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 age old question, do you preach palms or passion or both? Laurie and Steve argue with each other a bit, and then decide that no matter what, you preach one sermon, not the 35 available to you.

After two weeks of illness, we're back (again), to talk about the Gospel lesson for Lent 4, Year A - the healing of the man born blind from John's Gospel. A Zoom downgrade means this week's episode is a little shorter than usual, but we think you'll be ok with that.

Welcome back to Lectionary Hacks! This week, we tackled the Prologue to John's Gospel, which is read only in Episcopal Churches and not the rest of the Revised Common Lectionary world. It's big stuff.
