We're on SUMMER BREAK! season 5 coming soon!
As we move from Pentecost to Ordinary time, we celebrate the beauty in the ordinary and take extra time for rest and play. We'll be taking a break from regular podcasting, but will be back in your feeds soon! Meanwhile, there are amazing resources continually available every week on our website: commentaries, discipleship, liturgics, music.
Our quote comes from An Altar in the World, by Barbara Brown Taylor

Customer Reviews
Refreshing & Helpful
Amazing podcast for Wesleyan Preachers. It is timely, refreshing, and scholarly. It’s on my weekly sermon preparation checklist when preaching from the RCL.
Helpful for Sermon Prep.
As a missionary in the Dominican Republic, I am so grateful for A Plain Account, both as a website, and through this podcast. I enjoy the exploration of the text each week, and yet the practical application to life and our congregations is just as valuable. Thanks for the excellent work!
Appreciation from an Anglican Priest
I thoroughly enjoy this podcast! As an Anglican priest in the convergence / ancient-future stream, this show has become a refreshing supplement to my weekly studies/reading of the lectionary passages. Well done! Keep it up!
