The Amplified Word
The Amplified Word is a podcast by Christ Episcopal Church in Dayton, Ohio, to accompany each week’s lessons from the new lectionary, beginning in Advent. Episodes will focus on lifting up the stories, highlighting particular themes or changes that Dr. Gafney makes in her translation, and connecting the readings to our lives. Each episode is preceded by a bonus episode with a reading of the weekly lessons by a female or nonbinary member of the Christ Church community.

Episode 8
In today's episode we look at the power and role of prayer. We are looking at the work of justice, the transformation of the world in the name of life for all, not only preventing murder. In particular highlighting the epistle of James and the Gospel of Matthew, and our responsibility within community.
- How are we closer to living in community with one another, using prayer and action to transform the world?
- What is a good confession? How can we participate in what the Christ is doing in this world?
- Thou shall not murder; are we creating a more just world where everyone can live well, are we tearing down oppressive systems, are we striving to lift up those who are killed in our world
