Preaching every week isn’t easy in normal times, but Holy Week — in a pandemic — presents a special challenge, to say the least. Same Old Song is here for you!
Join the Rev. Jacob Smith and the Rev. Aaron Zimmerman each week as they break down the lectionary texts for the coming Sunday with Gospel insight, a few (in)appropriate cultural references, and a heart for the sufferer in the pew — and the pulpit. All in a half an hour or so. Lectionary readings can be found here.
Below is the episode for the entirety of Holy Week, along with the episodes from a few weeks prior in Lent.

Yes please!
I listen every week to prepare for attending church or preaching. Love the focus in grace! It might be helpful to have an occasional sermon (text or video) to see how Jacob and Aaron situate their biblical commentary within their sermons.
