Justification, Maccabees, and Comparative PoliticsThis is an episode inspired by Prof. Matthew J. Thomas' recent appearance on The Way podcast by Fr. Dustin Lyon.

In February 2020, prior to the pandemic, our normal english liturgy was graced by a new brother in Christ who is half Guatemalteco and half Ethiopian. So that the good news could be maximally shared, I spent a few minutes in my broken Spanish feeding his kinfolk. There’s nothing like hearing the good news in your own tongue. See the acts of the apostles, when paul begins speaking in the hebrew (aramaic?) tongue. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Throughout the universe they will glorify the name of yhwhI encouraged my friend Qalkeedan (Kalkidan) Amare to sing scripture. Many hymns and spiritual songs are written. Some are fine, some are error-prone. To weed out the wheat from the chaff, I told her we could sing scripture and form hymns and spiritual songs from scripture. I had her and another friend flip through and play with Matthew 5 & 23, and Galatians. On her own, she played with Isaiah 55-59. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

KRSONE answers a riddle many have had on their mind for eons. What is the difference betwixt rappers and emcees? Rappers spit rhymes that are mostly illegal, emcees spit rhymes that uplift they people. The Apostle Jacob commands us all to put jealousy, self-ambition, and the entire american rugged individualism corpus aside in place of lifting up our community that intentionally gathers to hear the life-giving word of god. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Susanna is unavailable in the Masoretic Text (MT), which is the Hebrew collected centuries after the destruction of the 2nd Temple in 70 AD. It is available in the Old Greek (OG), collected by diasporic Hebrews centuries before Christ. The OG is the Older Testament used by the authors of the Newer Testament. Nevertheless, the OG tells you to read the Hebrew that preceded it and preceded the MT, most of which the MT preserves. Susanna's story is a story of hope for those who face injustice in the here-and-now. This was shared, digitally and telephonically, with the youth of Mount Calvary Savior of the World EOTC in Nashville, Tennessee. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

I said to him, “My lord, you know.” And he said to me, “These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
