About this listen

 We are two old friends who happen to be pastors! Each episode revolves around one question we explore through stories from our past, current ministerial context, and a passage from the Bible. We offer pastoral care to those whom, like us, are still working through these questions. Together we look for God in the unexpected, mundane places, in the moments of joy and tension that make us laugh, cry, and cry while laughing. Join us as we encounter God in the sick and hAlarious!

    Episode 51 Lost Episode “What is up with Delilah”

    Abigail and Layne totally forgot they had recorded this episode and are elated to dust it off and share it with their listeners. With too many outdated pop-culture references to count, they discuss Delilah’s role in the downfall of Samson. Layne and Abigail delve into how this story has shaped purity culture, perpetuating harmful stereotypes of women, and the pervasiveness of the patriarchy, offering an alternative perspective on how we can approach this biblical narrative. Join them and encounter God in the sick and hAlarious!

    Episode 50: Why Was I Not Allowed to Trick or Treat?
    Oct 31 2022

    Happy Halloween! Layne and Abigail are back after a long a break and are asking the Question “why was I not allowed to trick or treat?”  They remember all of the alternative Halloween options of their childhood and Abi tells a HAlarious story in which her regular clothes were mistaken for a costume. They turn to a harrowing text in Exodus 32 looking for some clarity on how fear can cause us to make mistakes and how being less rigid just might open us up to God’s work in the world.  Join them and encounter God in the Sick and HAlarious!

    Layne and Abigail are back in the book of Judges exploring the haunting tale of Jephthah's unnamed daughter and ask why it reads like a script from an episode of Game of Thrones. As they ponder where God could possibly be  in this text, they look for meaningful ways to remember and honor this young girl whose life was unnecessarily cut short. Join them and encounter God in the sick and hAlarious.
