The Faith and Science Podcast

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...
