Episode #5. With glee we celebrate Nadia Bolz-Weber’s, Accidental Saints. This is a searingly authentic, and often hilarious story of one minister’s foibles and failures leading her congregation of beautiful misfits. Tanya and Dawn discuss their experience of this game-changing book, and also take a look at Jonah the reluctant prophet.

Season One – Episode 4 Scripture Reading: The Letter to the Ephesians

3

Paul’s Letter to the Ephesians, with themes of reconciliation and unity, pairs sweetly with Richard Rohr’s book Simplicity. In six lively chapters, this iconic text holds some of our most treasured verses right alongside some of our lesser appreciated ones! Working through this tension is part of the beauty in considering the letter in it’s entirety. Take a deep breath, quiet your mind, and let’s give Ephesians a fresh full hearing.

Episode #2. This episode Tanya and Dawn are diving into contemplative prayer with a conversation about Richard Rohr’s Simplicity, and the accompanying scripture reading: The Letter to the Ephesians. Father Richard is a brilliant author and communicator, in touch with the current moving of the spirit and deeply steeped in the complex history of the Church. If you have never encountered this transformative leader you are in for a treat. So brew some coffee, get out your journals, or gather a friend or two, but get ready for inspiration and new ideas. We have a link to reflection questions based on The letter to the Ephesians, Simplicity, by Richard Rohr and the Gift Girls’ Faith Book Club’s conversation.
