In this episode, Fr. Lorenzo Lebrija welcomes the Rev. Peter Levenstrong, Associate Rector at St. Gregory of Nyssa in San Francisco, to discuss the transformative power of Living Stories. This innovative preaching model shifts the sermon from a monologue to a communal act of storytelling and reflection, inviting congregations to co-create meaning through shared experiences. Peter shares insights into how this method fosters deeper connections within worship, enhances participation, and allows for a multisensory approach to scripture. They explore the practicalities of implementing Living Stories in diverse congregations, including the resources available for those looking to engage more fully with their communities. Additionally, the conversation touches on the intersection of Living Stories and artificial intelligence, highlighting how AI can both enhance and challenge traditional forms of preaching. Rev. Peter Levenstrong is the Associate Rector at St. Gregory of Nyssa Episcopal Church in San Francisco and the creator of Living Stories Sermons, an innovative, Montessori-inspired preaching model that transforms the sermon into a communal act of storytelling and reflection. Through tactile storytelling and open-ended wondering questions, Living Stories invites participants of all ages to co-create the sermon, deepening spiritual connection and fostering intergenerational belonging. Peter is also the co-host of the AI Church Toolkit podcast, and he's currently writing a theological manual on Living Stories Sermons to help congregations across the Church bring this transformative model to life. Workshop sign-up: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfvw2IRZYgVJYY7EZtz_iz7FXladoagZ5Ky-gx5KCG8rtVOZg/viewform Newsletter: https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/sl/fAtQQZu/livingstories Website: https://www.livingstoriessermons.org/

Welcome back to our podcast! This Advent season, we've been delving into the profound mystery of the incarnation—the incredible truth that Jesus chose to come to us in the flesh. This exploration has been deeply influenced by my studies with the Franciscans, prompting me to reflect on the idea that Jesus would have chosen this path even without the fall. What does this mean for us? We're also taking a closer look at a fascinating intersection of science and faith. Recently, we came across a compelling article on microchimerism—an astonishing phenomenon where cells from a fetus can move across the placenta, creating a lasting connection between mother and child. This discovery opens the door to a theological conversation that resonates with our celebration of the incarnation: What does it imply about the relationships we form and the depth of God's presence with us? To explore these questions, we are excited to welcome the Rev. Dr. Amy Peeler, an Associate Professor of New Testament at Wheaton College and an Associate Rector at St. Mark's Episcopal Church. With her expertise and insights, we'll unpack the implications of being intimately connected through the miracle of life and consider what it means to have a God who desires to walk among us. So, sit back and join us as we journey through these ideas, celebrating the incredible closeness of God with us during this special season.Links: Connect with Rev.

This week on Faithfully Memphis, join the Rev. Laura Gettys, Associate Rector for Community Engagement and Congregational Development at Grace-St. Luke's, for a conversation with Ann Perry Wallace. Ann is an actor and writer from Memphis, Tennessee who is daring to confront the stereotype of an aging actress. Her new one-person show, Live Rich Die Poor, is based on the life of Zora Neale Hurston, the famed folklorist and Harlem Renaissance writer, and is "a call to action to empty yourself of all of your talent and deny the grave your gifts and determine your worth for yourself."

Today we're joined by the Rev. Caitlyn Darnell, Associate Rector of St. Martin-in-the-Fields Episcopal Church in Columbia, S.C. We talk about Taylor Swift, pastoral care, and the Psalms. Questions for reflection: - Where have you encountered God this week? - How do the Psalms reflect the breadth of human experience? Readings for next week: Keep reading your favorite Psalms!

This week the Rev. Mary Cat Young, Associate Rector for University Ministry, sits down with three seniors from the Episcopal Campus Ministry.  Seniors Bella Dunn, Maggie Hall, and Simon Palmore reflect on their college experiences as members of the Class of 2023 at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill and at ECM at The Chapel of the Cross.

If you thought bad evangelical sex books were a thing of the 80s and 90s, guess again. Last week The Gospel Coalition lit the interwebs on fire by publishing an excerpt from an upcoming book by one of their (now former) fellows. This conversation untangles the sloppy reading of Ephesians 5, disturbing Roman Catholic roots, and what happens when we misuse biblical metaphors.  Partner with us for $3/month to join us for The Big Debrief, a zoom call where we discuss all the things you heard in this episode and more. You also get romcom recaps, Purity Culture News & Views, and special partner-only episodes.
