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.

In this week's episode we are talking about Wisdom, Sophia, which is often personified and given beautiful imagery for us to understand. The Holy Spirit, often connected to Wisdom, works in our life, and brings forth all that is Good.
- What imagery for Wisdom speaks to you?
- How do we participate in Wisdom transforming the world?
- When we are touched by the power of Wisdom, how do we share that with others?
