#1105: Nineteenth Sunday after Pentecost – October 4, 2026

Karoline Lewis, Matt Skinner, and Cody Sanders dig into the texts for October 4, 2026, the 19th Sunday after Pentecost (Ord. 27A). The hosts weigh new titles for the parable of the wicked tenants and warn against anti-Jewish readings. They explore Isaiah's vineyard song and Psalm 80, a rare lament in the lectionary. They also hear the Ten Commandments as a gift of freedom, not a list of rules. Paul's call to count everything as loss in Philippians 3 rounds out the conversation.
