Ever noticed those missing verses from scripture passages in the revised common lectionary?
Sometimes we need a new way of looking at scripture as we prepare to preach. Mind the Gap is a podcast that pays extra attention to what gets left out. How does it change the context of the rest? Is there anything in there that could be fruitful for proclaiming the good news? Join us as we ponder these missing pieces.

Ep. 43: Pentecost in Year B (2024)
On Pentecost Sunday, it's also important to talk about why we need the Holy Spirit, our Advocate, and we think the gap text here helps us do that. Stick around for the end of the episode where we go on a tangent about translation and gender.

Ep. 42: Easter 7B (2024)
Similar to Maundy Thursday's gap, the verses for this week shorten the time we spend with Judas and his experience of Jesus' ministry.
