Readings for the 5th Sunday in Lent - Isaiah 43:16-21; John 8:1-11You know how some people have a face for radio? You get to listen to a voice made for silence for a lengthy bit of time today - but, thanks be to God, the readings are worth it. It can often be easy for us to fall into the trap of seeing God merely as someone who has acted in the past. In doing so, we miss the beauty and the opportunity of God's action right here, right now in our midst. God is not an event of the past, but a dynamic presence in the Present. And he invites us to set aside those past notions and move into a new space - if only we have the courage to imagine and perceive it. Special thanks as always to Shamus, Bridget and Mandy, without whom this podcast would even be a thing. And mostly, thanks to you for listening, for rating, for recommending this podcast. I am continually humbled at the places it has gone and that is all because of you. And yes, thank you for your patience during these past months when the drop schedule has been uneven.

Yeah, kind of an important reading - but there is so much there. Moses thought he was in a place where he couldn't be found. A bush is burning but not consumed.

This week on the Exciting & New podcast, Jason, Andy and Dana welcome first-timer Shamus to the podcast as we discuss the 1985 action flick Commando.  In this shoot-em-up, Arnold needs to murder just about everyone he comes in contact with, except Tommy Chong's daughter, all in the hopes of saving Tony Danza's TV daughter.   Even though this is our 3rd trip into the Arnold filmography, this is the one that really started all the things we love about him.  The one-liners, the close ups on this arms, his insane ability to avoid 10,000 bullets all flying at him at once.  Shamus is former military (thank you for your service), and it is fun to get his insight into how believable it is to jump out of plane and survive and how one swims to an island in a speedo and then changes into the most heavily armed person on the planet.  This was a fun one to discuss.  Enjoy the podcast.

We sleep walk through our days, our months, our years, our lives. But there are those days when the scales fall from our eyes, when we have the wherewithal or the ability to break through the cloud and we awaken. The veil parts and we see. They are mountaintop experiences and we realize the imminence and greatness of our God. And as long as we are able to remember, our lives are no longer the same. Until we get drowsy again.

Readings for the 1st Sunday of Lent - Deuteronomy 26:4-10; Luke 4:1-13We hear the same story every 1st Sunday of Lent, with the only difference being whose version it is. The story is the Temptation in the Desert and this year, we get Luke's perspective. And like so many of the Gospel stories, we can read them and think of them merely as stories that happened to Jesus all those years ago, showing us His wisdom, strength and confirming Him as God's Beloved. But we would be selling the Gospel short if that's how we hear it. The stories may be about Jesus, but they are our stories, too. Jesus is the pattern and shows us the way. We walk in His footsteps.

Readings for the 6th Sunday in Ordinary Time - Jeremiah 17:5-8; Luke 6:17, 20-26Jesus invites us down to a level place and shares a hard truth with us. And for many of us listening, it's a time to take a look in the mirror and see which side of the truth we've been living within. But as with all things God, there is a fork in front of us today and we can choose which road we take. Special thanks, as always, to Shamus and Bridget - to whom I owe much in this podcast. I also need to thank Mandy for her inspiration with the whole idea. Of course, I'm most grateful to all of you for listening, rating and sharing this pod. I'm incredibly humbled.

Readings for the 5th Sunday in Ordinary Time - Isaiah 6:1-2a, 3-8; Luke 5:1-11In today's readings, we hear about the call of God. But, thankfully, it doesn't just focus on the action of God. It focuses on the ones God calls - their thoughts, their response, how they see themselves and how they see God. And the more things change, the more they stay the same. The people we see, the barriers that are placed between God and their response, sound so familiar. They are us. If that is true - and it is - then what will be our response?Special thanks, as always, to two of my children - Shamus for helping me set up this whole project and Bridget for providing the music we hear as we enter and exit. I'm grateful for their support - and yours! Without your listening, rating and sharing this podcast, it wouldn't be what it is. Thank you - I'm humbled and honored. Have a question or comment?

Readings for the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord: Malachi 3:1-4; Luke 2:22-40Continuing my shameless ripping off of the titles of famous songs (and this time, my apologies to Bob Seger), we hear a familiar story that sounds so wonderful at first listen. A couple presents their child in the Temple and people come out of the woodwork to proclaim his title, mission and ministry. Who wouldn't be consoled by that? If only Simeon would've stopped halfway through. But he didn't. He looks directly and Mary and Joseph and tells them what lies ahead for them, should they continue to move forward. Yet they do. They steel themselves and walk into the future. Our faith invites the same from us. It's not all duckies and bunnies. Special thanks to my daughter, Bridget Zenk, for her composition and performing of our intake and outtake music. And thanks to my son, Shamus, for setting me up on this host and helping me figure all of this technical stuff out. Of course - thanks to you, as always. Thanks for listening, for trusting, for passing it along, for rating. I'm humbled and grateful. Have a question or comment? I can be reached at pdjoezenk@gmail.com
