Episode 753

In this episode, we’re continuing our series using selections from Listening to Your Life: Daily Meditations with Frederick Buechner, an American writer and theologian. Today we’re reading a selection from “Call to Prayer.”

Because the word that God speaks to us is always an incarnate word––a word spelled out to us not alphabetically, in syllables, but enigmatically, in events, even in the books we read and the movies we see––the chances are we will never get it just right….[But it] is both recoverable and precious beyond telling.

Episode 752

In this episode, we’re continuing our series using selections from Listening to Your Life: Daily Meditations with Frederick Buechner, an American writer and theologian. Today we’re reading a selection from “In the Midst.”

Jesus is apt to come, into the very midst of life at its most real and inescapable…at supper time, or walking along a road. This is the element that all stories about Christs’ return to life have in common….He never approached from on high, but always in the midst, in the midst of people, in the midst of real life and the questions that real life asks.

Episode 751

Today we’re beginning a new series using selections from Listening to Your Life: Daily Meditations with Frederick Buechner, an American writer and theologian. In this episode we’re reading a selection from “Your Own Journey.”

What I propose to do now is to try listening to my life as a whole…for whatever of meaning, of holiness, of God, there may be in it to hear.…[Y]ou may in the privacy of the heart take out the album of your own life and search it for the people and places you have loved and learned from yourself…[and] through which you may have glimpsed…the sacredness of your own story.
