The Faith and Science Podcast

The readings this week are either Acts 1:1-11, Psalm 47 or Psalm 93, Ephesians 1:15-23, and Luke 24:44-53 or Acts 1:6-14, Psalm 68:1-10, 32-35, 1 Peter 4:12-14; 5:6-11, and John 17:1-11.  This week we look at the Frog Cycle.  A frog goes through its life and gets to the point where it has to take the "leap" of faith and leave the water and everything it's known and go into the world beyond the wat...

The readings this week are Acts 17:22-31, Psalm 66:8-20, 1 Peter 3:13-22, and John 14:15-21.  This week we look at how we can see how "the Advocate", the Holy Spirit, has been working with us for decades.  An easy example of this is seeing that the breakthroughs in understanding and being able to use DNA over the last 150 years has helped us prepare for what is coming.  Are we willing to see these...

The readings this week are Acts 7:55-60, Psalm 31:1-5, 15-16, 1 Peter 2:2-10, and John 14:1-14.  This week we look at how succession is a part of everyday life in nature.  When Jesus starts to prepare the disciples for his leaving they resist.  Are we going to allow for natural succession to happen in our lives? Thanks again for taking the time out to listen to this and I hope this is a tool that...

The readings this week are Acts 2:42-47, Psalm 23, 1 Peter 2:19-25, and John 10:1-10.  This week we look at how trust is a major part of creation even though as humans we struggle with this idea.  We can see bats and penguins doing huge amounts of trust in their daily lives.  Do we do the same with our faith with God? Thanks again for taking the time out to listen to this and I hope this is a tool...

The readings this week are Acts 2:14a, 36-41, Psalm 116:1-4, 12-19, 1 Peter 1:17-23, and Luke 24:13-35.  This week we look at an overlooked figure, along with overlooked caterpillars, and the power of music.  All of these have helped us, or can help us put the pieces together.  Are we going to allow ourselves to be curious so that God can then help us put pieces together that God wants to share wi...

The readings this week are Acts 2:14a, 22-32, Psalm 16, 1 Peter 1:3-9, and John 20:19-31.  This week we look at how quantum computers are coming quickly and have the possibility of being able to help us solve problems that recently seemed almost impossible to do.  In the same breath, many of us have a hard time understanding how classical computing works.  Is this similar to what was happening wit...

The readings this week are Acts 10:34-43 or Jeremiah 31:1-6, Psalm 118:1-2, 14-24, Colossians 3:1-4 or Acts 10:34-43, and John 20:1-18 or Matthew 28:1-10.  This week we look at how quickly we as people have made the impossible possible.  We can see it simply in how we are now able to fly when 120 years ago flying was much different.  Jesus Christ did this for us also in regards to our sin and we s...

The readings this week are Psalm 118:1-2, 19-29, and Matthew 21:1-11, or Isaiah 50:4-9a, Psalm 31:9-16, Philippians 2:5-11, and Matthew 26:14-27:66 or Matthew 27:11-54.  This week we look at how quickly we forget and thus take things for granted.  Do we not recognize how far we have come with our mobile technology over the last 15 years?  If we can't recognize that, how are we to recognize the bea...

The readings this week are Ezekiel 37:1-14, Psalm 130, Romans 8:6-11, and John 11:1-45.  This week we look at how time is quite different to God then us.  When God is looking at a long horizon that is over many generations, it is easy for us to miss the intent of what God is doing just looking at our here and now.  It often takes a lot of time for us to understand it and we see this as a continuin...

The readings this week are 1 Samuel 16:1-13, Psalm 23, Ephesians 5:8-14, and John 9:1-41.  This week we look at ocean plastics and how they are affecting the ecosystems around us.  Are we really going to stand by and allow this to happen and be happy with the results of business as usual?  Or will we allow ourselves to be like Jesus and change the culture around us?  Thanks again for taking the ti...

The readings this week are Exodus 17:1-7, Psalm 95, Romans 5:1-11, and John 4:5-42.  This week we look at how easy it is for us to overlook things and to conveniently forget things.  In doing this, it also makes it easy for us to miss the power of things going on or downplay the power of what God is doing or can do through us.  Thanks again for taking the time out to listen to this and I hope this...

The readings this week are Genesis 12:1-4a, Psalm 121, Romans 4:1-5, 13-17, and John 3:1-17 or Matthew 17:1-9.  This week we look at how perspective is so important to understand as it can be a bias on how we look at the world around us.  Will we allow ourselves to see beyond our own perspective, so that we might glimpse what God has in store for us?  Thanks again for taking the time out to listen...

The readings this week are Genesis 2:15-17; 3:1-7, Psalm 32, Romans 5:12-19, and Matthew 4:1-11.  This week we look at how we are weird to react in the ways that God wants us to.  Our problem is that we often get in the way by overthinking.  Can we allow ourselves to give up on our "Will" to allow "Grace" to enter in? Thanks again for taking the time out to listen to this and I hope this is a tool...

The readings this week are Exodus 24:12-18, Psalm 2, or Psalm 99, 2 Peter 1:16-21, and Matthew 17:1-9.  This week we look at how change is a part of the design that God has for everything outside of God.  We often try to avoid this fact, but if you look out to nature and everything else God created, including ourselves, it changes.  Why then do we fight it so much? Thanks again for taking the time...

The readings this week are Deuteronomy 30:15-20 or Sirach 15:15-20, Psalm 119:1-8, 1 Corinthians 3:1-9, and Matthew 5:21-37.  This week we look at sleep and how our bodies crave sleep.  Yet, we struggle in our modern society of putting aside enough time for us to get the sleep that our bodies crave so much.  Do we do the same thing with God?  Do we not allow ourselves to get to the messages that G...

The readings this week are Isaiah 58:1-9a (9b-12), Psalm 112:1-9 (10), 1 Corinthians 2:1-12 (13-16), and Matthew 5:13-20.  This week we look at how tradition can hold us back at times from being everything that God is wanting us to be.  Are we allowing ourselves to let God lead us to the places that God is wanting us to be?  Or would we rather go and hide from a challenge?  Science is always up fo...

The readings this week are Micah 6:1-8, Psalm 15, 1 Corinthians 1:18-31, and Matthew 5:1-12.  This week we look at how we can easily look past the beatitudes.  This is a difficult message to hear.  We also then have to realize that this message isn't just for us humans, but for creation as a whole as well. Thanks again for taking the time out to listen to this and I hope this is a tool that you fi...

The readings this week are Isaiah 9:1-4, Psalm 27:1, 4-9, 1 Corinthians 1:10-18, and Matthew 4:12-23.  This week we look at how we need to work together in order for us to live up to the calling God has for us.  This often also means that we have to get out of our own way and realize the opportunities that are in front of us.  Risk is going to be part of making the most of these opportunities but...

The readings this week are Isaiah 49:1-7, Psalm 40:1-11, 1 Corinthians 1:1-9, and John 1:29-42.  This week we look at how we have to have the faith to be able to see the potential in something even if it is quite large and we might not fully understand it.  Then when we have done that, we must allow ourselves to keep exploring and be willing to go deeper to discover more than we originally thought...

The readings this week are Isaiah 42:1-9, Psalm 29, Acts 10:34-43, and Matthew 3:13-17.  This week we look at the power within water in all it's forms.  Yet, it also is used to clean and sustain us while being a symbol of God's forgiveness for us.  Quite amazing when you think about it.  Thanks again for taking the time out to listen to this and I hope this is a tool that you find useful. Remember...

Surprise!  We have made it to 5 Years of doing the Faith and Science Podcast.  It has been quite a ride and I am so thankful for everyone tuning in and listening over the last half decade.  I am excited with some ideas for the podcast next year and I look forward to seeing where this continues to go. Here's to the next 5 years and Thank you for all the support, Tyler Bublitz

The readings this week are from Isaiah 7:10-16, Psalm 80:1-7, 17-19, Romans 1:1-7, and Matthew 1:18-25.  This week we look at the need to be able to sort through the noise to know what is coming.  This means we can sometimes look to science to be able to see the hypothesis that they think is coming to better understand the world that God has us walking into.  Thanks again for taking the time out t...

The readings this week are from Isaiah 35:1-10, either Psalm 146:5-10 or Luke 1:46b-55, James 5:7-10, and Matthew 11:2-11.  This week we discuss the importance of recognizing things going on around us such as climate change. This also means that we can not sit still but have to be actively pursuing change in order to poetically see the change of how God is working. Thanks again for taking the time...
