Monday through Friday, you are invited to read a portion of the Bible, and this podcast offers you the opportunity to enter into a "divine reading" of the text.

    Mark 16:1-8 - Lectio Divina

    The conclusion to the Gospel according to Mark, or at least one of them. The ending of Mark is so interesting and probably not what you think of when you think about resurrection stories.   As you hear the text, pay attention to how different it is from any of your preconceived notions about the resurrection story. And, pay attention to why Mark would end this story in such a way.   Mark's ending may seem abrupt, but there is an invitation as well...   Follow along here.

    Mark 15:42-47 - Lectio Divina

    There is a sense of finality in today's passage. At least if you were to hear this for the first time. Jesus has died. Now he is buried. There are witnesses to where he has been laid. That seems to be it.   Imagine reading this, rather hearing it read, for the very first time. Having been on an extensive journey with Jesus, and his disciples, it all comes to a dramatic end. The tomb is closed. That is it.   At least for today. I know you know the end of the story. But for today sit with this. Sit with the uncertainty, the finality, as if this were the first time you heard the story. Sit in solidarity with Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses. Sit with this...   Follow along here.

    Mark 15:21-41 - Lectio Divina

    Today's passage is heavy to say the least. From Simon carrying the cross for Jesus, to the crucifixion, and those who observed it.   There is a heaviness that comes with reading this passage. Pay attention to your feelings as you hear it. There are times to deeply investigate the words (some are in Aramaic), but today choose to move beyond the mind and allow the practice of Lectio Divina to ruminate in your soul.   Follow along here.

  4. 07/11/2019

    Mark 15:1-20 - Lectio Divina

    Today's passage includes some pretty violent imagery. Violence can invoke various responses for people. Pay attention to not only what your think about this text, but also how it makes you feel. Allow your heart to take over as you sit with this text.    Follow along here.

  5. 06/11/2019

    Mark 14:66-72 - Lectio Divina

    Today's passage moves us from entering into the humanity of Jesus, to the humanity of Peter. As you hear the text, I invite you to examine what feelings are associated with this passage. Move beyond just understanding with your head and engage, and pay attention to, your heart.   Follow along here.

  6. 05/11/2019

    Mark 14:53-65 - Lectio Divina

    As we draw closer to the crucifixion, the suspense hightens. We continue to be drawn into the humanity of Jesus. As you hear today's passage, may your become more and more aware of the fullness of your humanity. We join our brother, Jesus, in the experience of the human condition.   Follow along here.

  7. 04/11/2019

    Mark 14:26-52 - Lecito Divina

    Today's passage really highlights the humanity of Jesus. We are invited into his emotions, his struggle, the very essence of what it means to be human. This is a long passage, that covers a lot. Be sure to set aside time to experience the fullness of the text.   Follow along here.

  8. 01/11/2019

    Mark 14:1-25 - Lectio Divina

    There is a lot going on in today's passage. Due to the length it is only read three times on the podcast, if you need another read of the text take the time to read it and really let it sit in. There is a lot going on here. If you need to take it in pieces, allow yourself the time and flexibility to do so.    Toward the end of this passage is the institution of the Lord's Supper. This Sunday, the majority of United Methodist Churches (and churches in many other denominations) will celebrate Holy Communion in their worship services. Allow today's reading to sit with you. May these words both form your understanding of the Lord's Supper and transform your experience of Holy Communion.    Follow along here.
