Seventeenth Sunday after Pentecost (Year B) - 9/15/24

No Experts Allowed

We use our tongues a lot. We use them to swallow, speak, and help us chew food. They're the strongest muscle in the human body relative to its size. It likewise, has an outsized impact on our lives. The words it forms can edify or eviscerate. So, Jonathan and Seth discuss words and speech this week based on James' comment that "the tongue is a small member, yet it boasts of great exploits" (3:5). What makes speech so powerful? How can we use it to benefit others? How does human speech mirror God's speech? There are too many questions to answer in one podcast episode, but we tried nonetheless.

We're thrilled you're with us! As the lectionary moves to the end of Year B, the texts become more apocalyptic, so stay tuned for some wild stories and discussions about the other appointed texts (as we try to skirt talking about the end times week after week).
