Dad Talk - Twentieth Sunday in Ordinary Time (Cycle C)
Dad Talk guide to the Sunday Mass readings
In today’s first reading, the prophet Jeremiah is dropped into a cistern. How does that story connect to today’s Gospel reading about divisions in the family, or to the second reading about running a race with our eyes fixed on Jesus? Quite beautifully. We’ll put all the pieces together in today’s Dad Talk. Please share with a friend, and God bless! Dad

About Podcast
Seeking to understand more about the Sunday Mass readings, I started reading Bible commentaries after Mass several years ago, then giving a 15-minute talk to our children about the context of the readings (history, geography, etc.) and their relationship to each other. We called these "Dad Talks." Over time, we started to share them with others. To dive even deeper, I recommend acquiring your own copy of my source materials: Brant Pitre & John Bergsma's "A Catholic Introduction to the Bible," the Catholic Commentary on Sacred Scripture set, and various books mentioned in the Talks. God bless!
