    Cleaning and Commuting: The Good News of Ordinary Time (feat. Rev. Jordan Griesbeck)

    We have officially entered the liturgical season of "Ordinary Time", and we're wondering… does ordinary just mean boring? Our guest today, Rev. Jordan Griesbeck, claims to be just an ordinary priest descended from a long line of accountants, but his insights on this topic are anything but ordinary. In our conversation, we come to the shocking realization that we might love the liturgical calendar too much, we push back on society's expectation that we each strive to be extraordinary, and we reflect on why this overlooked season is so critical to our salvation and to living out our faith. As a bonus, this episode features the most epic, extended, insightful, hilarious, and non-rapid rapidfire segment of all time. Can't get enough of the Average Episcopalian?

  2. We Need a Sabbath Workshop

    We Need a Sabbath Workshop

    Remember the Sabbath, and keep it holy. This is perhaps one of the most overlooked of the 10 commandments in modern civilization, and that makes it worthy of  a deeper dive. Today, we are attempting to figure out how to make time for rest in a sea of full calendars and endless to-do lists. We remind ourselves that the Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath, and of the "why" behind this ancient ritual. We also discuss the traps of modern-day perspectives on rest, what activities are "allowed" on the Sabbath, and how to achieve inner peace in the Sam's Club parking lot.

    It Is Right to Give Him Thanks and Praise

    What is worship, and why do we do it? In today's episode we're dissecting the Episcopalian perspective of worship, including questions about sacrifices, reflections on adoration, and our own misconceptions and hesitations. In the end, worship is something that unifies us with God and with one another, and we hope this conversation inspires you to pursue that union with a lifted heart. Bonus: a lengthy tangent about church microphone systems. Can't get enough of the Average Episcopalian?

  4. Searching for God (And for Scientific Evidence) (feat. Rev. Ben Wyatt)

    Searching for God (And for Scientific Evidence) (feat. Rev. Ben Wyatt)

    Three nerds walk into an Episcopal church… and begin to question whether or not science and religion are compatible. Is that how the joke goes? In this episode, we welcome fellow Episcopalian podcaster (and fellow nerd) Rev. Ben Wyatt to help us tackle our questions about science and Christianity. Ben's degrees in physics, religion, and counseling are put to the test as we grill him on dinosaurs, evolution, and Biblical fundamentalism. We ask questions like… Can I believe in dinosaurs and in Jesus? What is "truth", and how do we find it? How have scientific discoveries influenced the church throughout history? And is Eucharistic Prayer C scientifically accurate? If you're like us, you'll leave this episode feeling slightly less certain but certainly more curious.

  5. BCP Prayers for The Collapse of Civilization

    BCP Prayers for The Collapse of Civilization

    Sometimes we all need a reminder to choose prayer over despair. In today's episode, we're doing another review of 4 of our favorite prayers from the Book of Common Prayer. These prayers challenge us to be meek (watch out brats, it's Meek Summer 2026) and they remind us that even though it can feel like evil is winning, God sustains.

    Epiphany: A Season for Stargazing and Transformation

    Confession: we've never really paid that much attention to Epiphany. After the wonder and festivities of Advent and Christmas, this liturgical season can often get overlooked. But that changes today! In this very average discussion, we get back to our roots: "definition time"! We share what we know about the three wise men (it's not much), learn about Epiphany traditions (why chalk on the door?), and discuss the significance of the lectionary readings that connect these first few weeks of the year. We hope this episode inspires you to hang a paper star and get out your chalk! Can't get enough of the Average Episcopalian?

    Grassroots Episcopalianism (feat. Father Drew Crowson)

    He's backkkkkk! Father Drew Crowson, friend of the podcast, curate at St. Paul's Prosper, and up-and-coming church planter, has returned to teach us about evangelism-- or how to spread the Good News without getting embarrassed. We discuss why Episcopalians are scared of evangelism, good and bad forms of evangelism, and why we all still need to try anyway. Drew also shares his current reflections on the process of planting an Episcopal church, what it means to "die to self", and how to stay consistent and faithful to long-term goals for God.
