Sometimes we all need a reminder to choose prayer over despair. In today's episode, we're doing another review of 4 of our favorite prayers from the Book of Common Prayer. These prayers challenge us to be meek (watch out brats, it's Meek Summer 2026) and they remind us that even though it can feel like evil is winning, God sustains.

Confession: we've never really paid that much attention to Epiphany. After the wonder and festivities of Advent and Christmas, this liturgical season can often get overlooked. But that changes today! In this very average discussion, we get back to our roots: "definition time"! We share what we know about the three wise men (it's not much), learn about Epiphany traditions (why chalk on the door?), and discuss the significance of the lectionary readings that connect these first few weeks of the year. We hope this episode inspires you to hang a paper star and get out your chalk!

He's backkkkkk! Father Drew Crowson, friend of the podcast, curate at St. Paul's Prosper, and up-and-coming church planter, has returned to teach us about evangelism-- or how to spread the Good News without getting embarrassed. We discuss why Episcopalians are scared of evangelism, good and bad forms of evangelism, and why we all still need to try anyway. Drew also shares his current reflections on the process of planting an Episcopal church, what it means to "die to self", and how to stay consistent and faithful to long-term goals for God.
