About this episode

This episode explores the connection between the gut microbiome and spiritual equipping through biblical texts.

These are the readings for the Third Sunday after Pentecost; Genesis 18:1-15, (21:1-7) and Psalm 116:1-2, 12-19, or Exodus 19:2-8a and Psalm 100, with Romans 5:1-8, and Matthew 9:35-10:8, (9-23). "What if the key to understanding how God equips us was living inside your gut right now? This week we explore the fascinating world of the gut microbiome — the trillions of microorganisms that provision your body with vitamins, regulate your mood, and train your immune system, often without you even knowing it. Just as Abraham and Sarah, the people of Israel, and the disciples all discovered they were more equipped than they ever imagined, science is revealing that we are provisioned at a microscopic level far beyond what we could have designed ourselves. Join us as we dig into this week's lectionary texts and ask: how are you going to diversify your microbiome — and your faith?" Let me know what you think of it.
