Episodes

St. Thomas the Apostle - The Very Rev. Kate Moorehead

December 21, 2017 18:00 - 4 minutes - 1.84 MB

Thomas famously doubted. He had the opportunity to touch a miracle, and he did it. We can do it, too, if we look for evidence of God's miracles in our world.

The Feast of St. Andrew - The Very Rev. Kate Moorehead

November 30, 2017 18:00 - 3 minutes - 1.57 MB

Let us give thanks today for the quiet ones who faithfully go about the business of following Jesus.

The Feast of All Saints - The Very Rev. Kate Moorehead

November 01, 2017 18:00 - 2 minutes - 1.23 MB

Today, we celebrate all the saints.

St. Michael and All Angels - The Very Rev. Kate Moorehead

September 29, 2017 18:00 - 4 minutes - 2.04 MB

There is a struggle between good and evil. Angels are the warriors who inspire us to become agents of justice and mercy in this broken world.

St. Matthew - The Very Rev. Kate Moorehead

September 21, 2017 18:00 - 3 minutes - 1.7 MB

The fact that Jesus could reach Matthew shows us that nobody is beyond the saving grace of God.

Holy Cross Day - The Very Rev. Kate Moorehead

September 10, 2017 18:00 - 4 minutes - 2.14 MB

Today we fix our focus on the cross itself, a symbol of execution, terror and pain for the most precious person who ever lived. We think of what it means that Jesus went through all of that for us, and how that suffering was not the last word.

St. Bartholomew - The Very Rev. Kate Moorehead

August 24, 2017 18:00 - 3 minutes - 1.43 MB

Rather quiet in the Gospels, St. Bartholomew was anything but quiet after witnessing the resurrection. He witnessed to the life of Jesus in faraway, unfamiliar lands until dying a martyr's death.

St. Mary the Virgin - The Very Rev. Kate Moorehead

August 15, 2017 18:00 - 5 minutes - 2.53 MB

Her pain was extraordinary, her faith more so. Mary is defined by much more than the title we give her as she lived a life so entwined with the life of Jesus.

The Transfiguration - The Very Rev. Kate Moorehead

August 06, 2017 18:00 - 4 minutes - 2.19 MB

We always want to capture the moment, to take the cell phone picture, to take something wonderful and document it. That's going to happen, but... when something beautiful happens in your life, don't be afraid to just be present.

St. Mary Magdalene - The Very Rev. Kate Moorehead

July 22, 2017 18:00 - 3 minutes - 1.78 MB

One of greatest and most tragically misunderstood saints, Mary Magdalene suffered from mental health issues and physical ailments as well. But she was healed by Jesus, and she practiced wellness by staying close to Jesus. Mary Magdalene is an amazing role model for all who suffer from mental health issues -- that is, for all of us. Be well. Be well with God.

St. Peter and St. Paul - The Very Rev. Kate Moorehead

June 29, 2017 18:00 - 3 minutes - 1.79 MB

This commemoration is especially important in this era as it celebrates two people who argued, who disagreed, who had serious and deep differences -- but who engaged with one another, respected one another, and lived in loving service to the Lord. May we all meditate upon their example.

The Nativity of St. John the Baptist - The Very Rev. Kate Moorehead

June 24, 2017 18:00 - 4 minutes - 2.18 MB

Doubting God can silence us. Trust in God and allow God to speak through you!

St. Barnabas the Apostle - The Very Rev. Kate Moorehead

June 12, 2017 18:00 - 2 minutes - 1.36 MB

We are thankful for our friends, for those who make us feel connected, loved, understood. Saint Barnabas brought Paul to the early Christians, and in his public display of trust he allowed those formerly persecuted to accept Paul and move the church forward.

Trinity Sunday - The Very Rev. Kate Moorehead

June 11, 2017 18:00 - 3 minutes - 1.8 MB

Today we consider the incomprehensible -- including that we were made for the sheer joy of it.

The Day of Pentecost - The Very Rev. Kate Moorehead

June 04, 2017 18:00 - 4 minutes - 2.23 MB

The Holy Spirit allows us to become so much more than we were before. This Holy Breath sends us out to tell the story in many languages, even non-verbally, with capabilities we didn't realize we have.

St. Mark the Evangelist - The Very Rev. Kate Moorehead

Mark helped to show us how to do God's will together even when we disagree.
