• Ep. 34 - Fellow Travelers on the Journey: The Road to Confirmation (feat. Janet Daniels & Susan Mailey)

  Cozy up with your coffee for a conversation about confirmation, questioning, listening, and more with the women who sponsored us for our own confirmation! Susan Mailey (Kate's confirmation sponsor) and Janet Daniels (Annie's confirmation sponsor) are dear friends, sage mentors, and fellow Episcopalians with abundant wisdom to share. We had so much fun discussing the sacrament of confirmation and what it means for us travelers on the road of faith. We also reflect on why it's worthwhile to commit to community, the role of doubt in our journeys, and the profound power of a listening ear.

• Ep. 33 - Lord, Hear Our (Intercessory) Prayer

  The Prayers of the People are a staple in the Episcopalian service, but they’re also reminiscent of a “Choose Your Own Adventure” book, with forms and collects abounding. We’re here to discuss the many forms that intercessory prayer can take and why it matters to pray in unison for our world and for each other. We break down the structure of the prayers, discuss why we pray for government officials, share our personal favorite prayers, and entertain a riveting sidebar discussion on “intinction”. Please excuse Annie’s audio this episode, it was a little wonky for some reason!

• Ep. 32 - But Seriously, How Do I Love My Neighbor?

  “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” Jesus said (Matthew 22:39). Okay… but how??? Who is my neighbor? What if they are really annoying? In today’s episode, we’re considering how to be the hands and feet of Jesus in our daily lives and in our neighborhoods. We propose tactical, tangible ways to turn “love” into action, share unsolicited opinions about service leaflets, reflect on how our lives should change when we know Jesus, and get on our soapbox about why you should have friends with whom you disagree.

• Ep. 31 - All Things Seasonal and Liturgical, All Feast Days Great and Small

  Liturgical Calendar 101 is in session. In this episode, we break down the seasons of the Episcopal church. We review the history of the liturgical calendar, discuss whether or not it’s Biblical, reflect on how it connects us to humanity and to history, and share personal practices that help us engage more with the church seasons. Why do the altar dressings change colors? What is a lectionary? What’s so holy about the passage of time? We hope this episode helps you answer these questions and more.

• Ep. 30 - Finding Our Whole Selves in the Psalms (feat. Wendell Kimbrough)

  Wendell Kimbrough, singer, songwriter, worship leader and friend, is here to teach us what the Psalms are really about. Christians have wrestled with this collection of poems and prayers throughout the ages. How can we find meaning in them today? Wendell went from arguing about Calvinism as a teen to leading Anglican worship services, where he learned to embrace the emotional side of spirituality. We discuss how psalms can help us untangle perfectionism, how to process psalms that call for violence, how to bring our whole selves to God, and why we should all write our own psalms.
