Episode 21: Pentecost 19, 2024

In this episode of Working The Lectionary, your hosts, John Bottomley and Brendan Byrne, examine a passage from The Gospel According to Mark, in which the disciples try to stop an exorcist who is not part of the disciple group from performing miracles in Jesus' name - and how Jesus' response and his injunction against placing obstacles in the path of others calls on Christians to reflect on the ways in which their own formation blinds them to God's movement in the world, including the world of work and economics.
