For those of you who are walking with us daily through Advent over on Drawing Out Advent, this will be a bit of a replay, but for those of you who aren’t, I wanted to give you a chance to hear what it’s all about with a string of episodes that are some of my favorites.
Today I’ve strung together five episodes from Drawing Out Advent, the audio only, so you can hear the story a bit differently…and maybe head to the link bel...
Going back into the vault today and my audio editor doesn't want to cooperate, so I couldn't edit the intro for you...but I hope you enjoy this bit of light in the darkness of these winter days.
For today’s episode, I’m sharing a sermon I recently preached at Northminster Church in Monroe, Louisiana, on hands down the least well known book in the Bible: Haggai. Drop me a line if you've ever heard Haggai preached before...If you ever find yourself in north Louisiana, check Northminster out, and if you’d like for me to come preach or teach at your church, let me know that as well. Send me a message on social media.
We’re wrapping up this series on Rivers today with a look at the river that appears in John’s vision in Revelation. I’ve always found Revelation to be a bit like reading a fever dream and I didn’t grow up reading it or hearing it read often, so I might not get it right. If you’ve got questions about my take, let me know. All I know is I really love that this story ends where the first one began.
Let’s talk about that.

We’re back with another look at another river. This one, kind of like those in the stories from Daniel, isn’t a real river, but in some ways it could be. Let me know what you think.

Amos’s words from last week catapult us into the few river stories in the gospels and writings of the New Testament. Today, we’re looking at maybe the most famous one: Jesus’ baptism. What strikes me most about this whole ritual isn’t the ritual at all, but this little rant John goes on from the middle of the Jordan River...

Today’s story doesn’t exactly take place at a river, but I don’t know how to do a series on rivers without reading the prophet Amos’s comparison of God’s justice to a mighty, flowing river. Given the way the world is these days, it feels an appropriate story to sit with too. Let me know what you think.

We’re back with two more stories today. This time both from the book of Daniel, and sadly there are no lions. Just Daniel and some visions he sees from the banks of two different rivers. These are kind of bonkers stories that I won’t completely unpack because…well…I’m more interested in him being at the river than the dreams he had. I hope that will make sense in a few minutes.
Daniel 8, 10
I’m back from vacation so that means we’re back on the river. It’s a stretch to call today’s river, a river, but that’s what the psalmist and the prophet Ezekiel do, so I’m siding with them. It’s one you may not have heard of and will definitely struggle to find on a map. And the two stories are too long to share here, but if you want to find them and read them later, take a look at Psalm 46 and Ezekiel 47.

Hey y'all! I'm not working this week...taking some much needed R&R with family, so this episode felt appropriate to post.
Hope you enjoy it and take some time for yourself this week too!
Today, we’re at the Jordan River with a foreign army general named Naaman seeking healing for his leprosy. I love this story. God often moves in mysterious ways, but in this story God is pretty straightforward about how Naaman will find healing, and like us he doesn’t really know what to do with that. Let me know what you think!
II Kings 5
Life lifed this past week - from birthday celebrations and football games for one son to my other son's first lead in a play and a lot in between, the week was full, so here's a replay of one of my favorite older episodes from the first series of God Knows Where. Enjoy!
As we wind through all these stories by the riversides in our scripture, we’re confronted with one today that isn’t about healing or blessing. It’s about pain and punishment. And yet it still gives us something to chew on. Let me know what you think!

Taking a bit of a detour today, but still sticking with our exploration of the river stories in our scriptures to see where they guide us. True Fall is still a month away down here in south Mississippi, but this morning's crisp air got me excited about being outside again. And since we’re talking about rivers, I figured why not encourage y’all to get outside too!
So grab your coffee and go sit on the porch or ease off...
We’re exploring a new river in our series “Live Streams” today. It’s wild to me to me that it takes so long for us to start talking about the Jordan River given all that we know happens in and around it, but here we are visiting it for the first time. And it’s in one of my favorites stories too.
Let’s see what this story down by the riverside has to teach us today.

We’re going to leave the stories of Genesis behind and move on ahead to a story about Moses. They are some mentions of rivers in the stories of Jacob and Esau and in at least one dream Joseph interprets, but none that happen in the river…at least not like the story of the day Moses was found in a basket in the Nile.

From the rivers flowing out of Eden and the Nile where Moses was found to the crossings and healings and transformations that happen in other rivers, we’re looking at how our tradition has been shaped by the flowing, living water all around us, by both the boundaries they provide and the ones God breaks within them.

I’ve got a stack of books on my bedside table to read all on one topic: rivers. Actually, one river. The Pascagoula and all its tributaries, including the creek that runs not far from my house. I’m fascinated by this river system, but that's a story for another day (maybe another podcast?)
But they’ve had me thinking about rivers a lot and I realized how many great stories from our tradition take place in or on the ba...
