The Rev. Dr. Luke Powery is Dean of Duke University Chapel and Professor of Homiletics and African and African American Studies at Duke Divinity School. In this conversation, hear stories of what happened when teaching spirituals in a federal prison, and the ways prisoners became teachers and "outside" teachers and students became learners. Hear how the Spirit can move in a classroom and make such spaces sites of Divine Encounter. What if the remedy for oppression is unleashing the power of teaching as theopathy in classrooms? 

Reese, Kmac, Pam and Alex speak with Rev. Dr. Luke A. Powery. This is the fourth interview for the Salute To Champions Program! Our fourth  nominee is Rev. Dr. Luke A. Powery who is the Dean of Duke University Chapel and Professor of Homiletics and African and African American Studies.

In this episode, Fr. Lorenzo talks with the Rev Dr Sam Wells, Vicar at St Martin-in-the-Fields in Central London. They talk about a Theology of abundance. What is it? Where does it come from? What does it mean for ministry? And, perhaps most importantly, how we can change our mindset to have a posture of abundance in our work.   From the podcast Great Sacred Music: https://soundcloud.com/greatsacredmusic St Martin-in-the-Fields: https://www.stmartin-in-the-fields.org/ Vivaldi as Social Enterprise: https://www.gramophone.co.uk/blogs/article/vivaldi-and-social-enterprise  Revd Dr Sam Wells has been Vicar of St Martin-in-the-Fields since 2012.

Prayer is pervasive in the New Testament. Just as Jesus prays at all the major events of his life, even so the followers of Jesus pray at all the significant turning points in the book of Acts.

The Fruit of the Spirit is Joy. Katie and I can't imagine a more joyful day than when we welcomed Grace into the world. There was incredible pain that day. The kind of pain that in any other situation would cause you to wonder if God is even present, or if he cares about the suffering of my wife on the surgeon's table. But that's because joy is something far different from agreeable conditions or the absence of pain and sorrow. It's something deeper, more powerful, more sustaining, and bubbles up in the midst of the pains of the world, then transforms into a gushing river that overwhelms us, and defines the moment. So much so, that when we look at a picture from that day, the pain is never even mentioned. Whatever that is—this thing called Joy—I want more of it. Don't you?What Paul is talking about in Galatians 5 is not a joy that comes naturally because of our circumstances; it's a sustained sense of abundance, goodness, and love, hope and promise in the midst of the most difficult circumstances. For you and me, on our own, we might experience something like that a handful of times in our life. But God's joy—not ours—the kind given by the Holy Spirit, is not momentary, but everlasting. Like love, this is not a human-will-power-produced kind of joy; it's God's joy given to us. The sermon today is titled "Joy." It is the second installment in our "Fruit of the Spirit" Series. The Scripture reading is from Galatians 5:22. Originally preached at the West Side Church of Christ (Searcy, AR) on July 17, 2022.

Full-time ministry" usually makes us picture pastors in a church -- but in reality, everyone is called to do full-time ministry. We speak with two women who minister full-time in the non-profit world -- Joanne Rodriguez, Executive Director of the Hispanic Theological Initiative at Princeton Seminary, and Breana Van Velzen, Community Minister at Duke University Chapel.Disclaimer: The views, actions, and affiliations of guests invited on this podcast do not always reflect ISAAC's official stances; they belong to the guests.

A sermon preached by Dean Luke A. Powery on December 6, 2020, in Duke University Chapel.

We have a choice to make. As Americans, as humans, there is no doubt we are at the crossroads. Which way will we go? I asked that question of the Rev. Dr. Luke Powery, desperately wanting an answer that will make me want to get out of bed in the morning. Of course, nothing is that easy, but through the twists and turns of our conversation, I came out on the other side with a sense of optimism. And yes, hope.Powery is an author, singer, renowned preacher and the first Black Dean of The Duke University Chapel. So much of what he had to say resonated with me, but one statement in particular stood out: "Our technology has outpaced our humanity. We can go to space, but we can't make space for one another." That statement and many others took my breath away. He quoted W.E. B. Du Bois and Emily Dickinson. He shared jaw dropping experiences of how he's perceived as a Black man in America, despite his Stanford, Princeton and Duke credentials. And he framed it all in the context of confronting our pain on a path that leads to hope.It's the holiday season and we all want to feel that familiar sense of wonder and hope. But it's 2020. If you are struggling with the chaos and division that define this year, give yourself the gift of Dr. Powery's perspective and words of wisdom. You deserve it.www.ourvoicesmatterpodcast.comwww.lorellemedia.comThis podcast is devoted to empowering us all to better understand each other's differences...one story at a time.

A conductor, composer, and scholar of sacred music, Rev. Dr. Zebulon Highben serves as both associate professor of the practice of church music at Duke Divinity School and director of Chapel Music at Duke University Chapel. He conducts the Duke Chapel Choir and oversees the Chapel’s extensive music program, which connects students, community members, staff singers, instrumentalists, and professional colleagues in myriad worship services and sacred concerts. He joins us to talk about the richness of a vocational life as a musician, teacher, and ordained Deacon. Rev. Dr. Highben gives us insights like why you shouldn't scold your acolytes for missing hymnals, how music can preach, when the rehearsal can be more satisfying than the concert, and how to find flow in church music.

On this episode of Rewrite Radio: Scott Hoezee, a noted preacher himself and the director of the Center for Excellence in Preaching at Calvin Theological Seminary, conducts a wide-ranging interview with Fleming Rutledge. Fleming Rutledge is an Episcopal priest and writer of nine books, including the award-winning The Crucifixion: Understanding the Death of Jesus Christ. Ordained to the diaconate in 1975, two years later, she became one of the first women to be ordained to the priesthood of the Episcopal Church. She has often been invited to preach in prominent pulpits such as the Washington National Cathedral, the Duke University Chapel, Trinity Church in Boston, and the Harvard Memorial Chapel. A native of Franklin, Virginia, Rutledge graduated magna cum laude from Sweet Briar College in 1959 and went on to complete her Master in Divinity at Union Theological Seminary. She was awarded an honorary Doctor of Divinity degree from Virginia Theological Seminary. For the first 14 years of her career, she served at Grace Church in New York City. Subsequently, Rutledge served as interim rector of St. John’s, Salisbury, Connecticut, and has twice been a resident Fellow at the Center of Theological Inquiry in Princeton. She has also been resident at Wycliffe College at the University of Toronto School of Theology, where she taught preaching, and a visiting scholar at the American Academy in Rome. Rutledge’s particular expertise is the intersection of biblical theology with contemporary culture, current events and politics, literature, music, and art. The Crucifixion, Christianity Today’s 2017 Book of the Year, examines the contemporary meaning of Christ’s sacrifice. Her latest book, Advent: The Once and Future Coming of Jesus Christ, was published by Eerdmans in September 2018.

Three deans of Duke University Chapel—one current and two former—hold a public conversation about the role of preaching in public discourse. Fewer people are coming to church to hear sermons and yet religious language and elements of the sermonic style continue to be present in various types of public speech. In this context, are preachers being heard and heeded? What is the place of the pulpit in the public square? And, how are sermons changing? Three prolific preachers, with experience on two continents, address those questions and others in a Duke Chapel Bridge Panel conversation moderated by Frank Stasio, the host of WUNC Radio's The State of Things. The panelists are: The Rev. Dr. Luke A. Powery, dean of Duke Chapel since 2012 and an associate professor of homiletics at Duke Divinity School The Rev. Dr. Samuel Wells, vicar of St Martin-in-the-Fields and former dean of Duke Chapel from 2005 to 2012 Bishop William Willimon, professor of the practice of Christian ministry at Duke Divinity School and former dean of Duke Chapel from 1984 to 2004

Duke University Chapel hosts a public conversation with U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders and the Rev. William J. Barber II, "The Enduring Challenge of a Moral Economy: 50 Years After Dr. King Challenged Racism, Poverty, and Militarism." The event was to be part of Duke's 2018 Martin Luther King, Jr. Commemoration and Duke Chapel's Bridge Panel series, which seeks to connect people from disparate walks of life to discover shared pathways toward the community of God. "In joining with others to begin organizing the Poor People's Campaign 50 years ago, Dr. King was working out of a Christian conviction that racial equity, economic justice and peace among nations were interrelated issues -- and all matters of faith," said Chapel Dean Luke A. Powery, who moderated the talk held on April 20, 2018. "Through this public conversation, we have an opportunity to bring together the insights of a preacher and a politician on the present-day work toward a just, moral economy." Barber is a national co-chair of the Poor People's Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival, an initiative that aims to address issues of systemic racism, poverty, the war economy, ecological devastation and the nation's morality. He is also the president and senior lecturer of Repairers of the Breach, a nonprofit organization that seeks to build a moral agenda. An alumnus of Duke Divinity School, Barber is the pastor of Greenleaf Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in Goldsboro, North Carolina. Sanders is an Independent senator from Vermont. His 2016 campaign for the Democratic nomination for president focused on policy issues that included universal health care, free tuition at public universities and a $15-per-hour minimum wage. He was first elected to public office in 1981 as mayor of Burlington, Vermont, and has since served 16 years in the U.S. House of Representatives and 11 years in the U.S. Senate. In addition to his role as dean of Duke Chapel, Powery is an associate professor of homiletics at Duke Divinity School. His most recent book is "Rise Up, Shepherd!: Advent Reflections on the Spirituals." Ordained to the Ministry by the Progressive National Baptist Convention, he was inducted in 2014 into the Martin Luther King, Jr. Collegium of Scholars at Morehouse College for his ethical and spiritual leadership in the academy, church, and broader society. Co-sponsors of the event include Duke Divinity School and Duke's Sanford School of Public Policy and Office for Institutional Equity.

A public discussion on March 30, 2017 moderated by the Rev. Dr. Luke A. Powery, Dean of Duke University Chapel with the Rev. Dr. William Turner, Jr., James T. and Alice Mead Cleland Professor of the Practice of Preaching at Duke Divinity School; Bishop William Willimon, bishop in the United Methodist Church, former dean of Duke Chapel, and professor of the practice of Christian ministry at Duke Divinity School; and readings from the Duke Chapel Recordings Archive.

On this program, I talk with Fleming Rutledge about her new book, The Crucifixion: Understanding the Death of Jesus Christ (Eerdmans, 2015), and the themes and motifs surrounding the topic in the history of biblical interpretation. While theologians and preachers have often focused exclusively on concepts such as atonement or justification, Rutledge highlights many other biblical motifs and themes of no lesser value and importance. Ordained to the diaconate in 1975, Rutledge received her Master of Divinity degree from Union Theological Seminary in New York and was one of the first women to be ordained to the priesthood of the Episcopal Church in January 1977. Widely recognized in the United States, Canada, and in the UK not only as a preacher and lecturer but also as one who teaches other preachers, Rutledge is an expert on the intersection of Biblical theology with contemporary culture, current events and politics, literature, music, and art. She has often been invited to preach in prominent pulpits such as the Washington National Cathedral, the Duke University Chapel, Trinity Church in Boston, and the Harvard Memorial Chapel. She is the author of many books, including God Spoke to Abraham: Preaching from the Old Testament and The Battle for Middle-earth: Tolkien’s Divine Design in The Lord of the Rings, both published by Eerdmans.

On this program, I talk with Fleming Rutledge about her new book, The Crucifixion: Understanding the Death of Jesus Christ (Eerdmans, 2015), and the themes and motifs surrounding the topic in the history of biblical interpretation. While theologians and preachers have often focused exclusively on concepts such as atonement or justification, Rutledge highlights many other biblical motifs and themes of no lesser value and importance. Ordained to the diaconate in 1975, Rutledge received her Master of Divinity degree from Union Theological Seminary in New York and was one of the first women to be ordained to the priesthood of the Episcopal Church in January 1977. Widely recognized in the United States, Canada, and in the UK not only as a preacher and lecturer but also as one who teaches other preachers, Rutledge is an expert on the intersection of Biblical theology with contemporary culture, current events and politics, literature, music, and art. She has often been invited to preach in prominent pulpits such as the Washington National Cathedral, the Duke University Chapel, Trinity Church in Boston, and the Harvard Memorial Chapel. She is the author of many books, including God Spoke to Abraham: Preaching from the Old Testament and The Battle for Middle-earth: Tolkien’s Divine Design in The Lord of the Rings, both published by Eerdmans.
