For the First Sunday after Christmas Day, the Bubbas discuss one of the more "loaded" gospel texts that confront us, the story often known as "The Slaughter of the Innocents." There are weighty theological issues to be considered and John and Delmer try to offer preachers some ideas for preaching. The closing song is Adagio for Strings, composed by Samuel Barber -- offered here as a memorial to the innocents of Judah, and all innocent sufferers through time.

The Fourth Sunday of Advent is arriving and the waiting is almost over! John and Delmer discuss Isaiah and his complex relationship with Ahaz, a baby (or two) born with the name, Immanuel, and what that all means for preaching the gospel on this day. Joan Osborne tops it all off with, (What If God Was) One of Us?

The Third Sunday in Advent finds the Bubbas visiting with John the Baptist, the young Virgin Mary, the crusty old prophet Isaiah, and James the brother of Jesus. Johann Sebastian Bach drops by to give us a spin of his #1 hit, Magnificat. All in all, it's good clean homiletical fun!

Happy New Year, everybody! Well, new church year, that is... it's the First Sunday of Advent for Year A and the Bubbas get things rolling with discussion of the texts and other items on their minds. It's our 3-year Anniversary of the beginning of the Lectionary Lab (www.lectionarylab.com) and we're pretty pumped. To celebrate, we've invited special musical guests Chicago to stop by and perform the album cut of Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?
