1. We Worship & Adore… You? In this episode, we discuss the intersection of liturgy and politics as we read Oliver Olson’s essay, Politics, Liturgics, and Integritas Sacramenti. It’s a historical survey of liturgical practice and politics from ancient Israel to the present, discussing the importance of symbolism, meaning, and the purpose of liturgy for faith and life.
  2. Hidden Streams is exploring songs that are found in the canon of scripture.
  3. . . . which, as you and I (and Craig and Troy) know is a very very bad idea. Why don't the people in the book of Judges recognize the bitter irony in what they say and do?
  4. Joy and the promise to the king.
  5. You know what the most amazing thing about the story of Samson is?
  6. If we ever feel abandoned, for one thing that puts us in good company, like King David.
  7. Feasts, funerals, and the durability of joy.
  8. Well, it appears Samson didn't learn his lesson after all.
  9. Hidden Streams has now recorded devotional meditations and songs for all of the Book of Psalms.
  10. Let your words to God be few.
