Lectionary Hacks

Religion EN ↓ 20 episodes

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.
