Lectionary Lab Live

Lec Lab Live: Twenty-fourth Sunday after Pentecost (Year C)

For this 24th Sunday after Pentecost, Delmer and John debate who was shorter: Zacchaeus or Jesus? We also have a nice tune from Gaelic favorite Enya, performing Book of Days, soundtrack for the movie Far and Away.

Lec Lab Live: Twenty-second Sunday after Pentecost (Year C)

For this Twenty-second Sunday after Pentecost, the Bubbas are praying --well, at least we're talking about praying. It's pretty important! Special musical guests are the a capella singing folks from Pilgrim's Praises, aficionados of Anabaptist-Mennonite Hymnody extraordinaire, offering Sweet Hour of Prayer.

Lec Lab Live: Twenty-first Sunday after Pentecost (Year C)

For the Twenty-first Sunday after Pentecost, the Bubbas are back -- sorry for the technical interruption last week! It's Naaman and the Ten Lepers today -- guys who definitely had a lot of skin in the game! Our special musical guests are the Rijssen Manenkoor (Men's Choir of Rijssen) from Eusebius Church in Arnhem, The Netherlands, performing God and God Alone (composed by Steve Green.)

Lec Lab Live: Nineteenth Sunday after Pentecost (Year C)

For the Nineteenth Sunday after Pentecost, Delmer and John are jawing around 'bout the rich man and Lazarus. It's a hell of a show! Special musical guest is Mr. Bob Dylan performing Poor Lazarus.

Lec Lab Live: Eighteenth Sunday after Pentecost (Year C)

For the Eighteenth Sunday after Pentecost, the Bubbas are talking "heart and soul" -- where do you put your heart, and just what exactly is your soul worth? Guest artist is the late and great Luciano Pavarotti, offering one of opera's most poignant arias, Nessun Dorma ("No One Will Sleep") -- a tribute to love that will not be denied.

Lec Lab Live for September 11, 2016

The Bubbas are back...though running a mite tardy...for the Seventeenth Sunday after Pentecost. The theme for today is the "overwhelmingness" of God's grace. We might've made that word up, but we like it! Special musical guests are the Chorale Singers of the Islington Baptist Church in Toronto with Wonderful Grace of Jesus.

Lec Lab Live: Eleventh Sunday after Pentecost (Year C)

For the Eleventh Sunday after Pentecost, John and Delmer are talking texts and slinging the homiletical hash. Our special guest is His Holiness, Pope Francis, who will close our broadcast with his opening of the Mass for the Solemn Feast of Corpus Christi. 

Listen to the end for a special announcement about our upcoming Lectionary Lab Preaching Workshop, scheduled for August 22-24 in the great state of Texas! There's still time for you to register and come join us.

Also, this will be our last session of Lectionary Lab Live until we resume podcasting in September. See y'all after some vacation!

Lec Lab Live: Tenth Sunday after Pentecost (Year C)

Our apologies for the missed show last week -- but, we're back for the Tenth Sunday after Pentecost, hopefully as strong as ever! Delmer is talking prayer with Jesus and John has a whole lot to say about Hosea. Special musical guests are Lester "Roadhog" Moran and His Cadillac Cowboys (aka, The Statler Brothers) in their classic comedy role performing, Honky Tonk Girl.

Lec Lab Live: Eighth Sunday after Pentecost (Year C)

For the Eighth Sunday after Pentecost, Delmer and John hold forth on the Samaritan who Showed Mercy -- some might say he was "good." Was he? Tune in to find out! Special musical guest is Michael Jackson, who offers Man in the Mirror for your introspective listening pleasure.

Lec Lab Live: Seventh Sunday after Pentecost (Year C)

This week brings the Seventh Sunday after Pentecost, as well as for those who preach in the USA -- Independence Day. A little thought about this dual nature of preaching for today, with the gospel and pastoral responsibility helping us find some balance. Our musical closing features the late, great Dr. Ralph Stanley and the Clinch Mountain Boys singing, Almost Home.
