“Pulpit Fiction is my go-to weekly source for preaching the lectionary. Episodes are usually very timely to what’s occurring in the world and Eric and Robb help relate the texts to life right now. The contextual analysis of the texts is always helpful and I appreciate the curating of lectionary...”Read full review »

I rely on their wisdom, particularly with tough readings. I visit their website for the show notes often but...”Read full review »

“I’ve been a lay preacher in the Episcopal church for about a year and my instructor pointed this podcast out to me. On weeks when I’m preaching, I take notes to help me edit and organize my thoughts and when I’m not preaching, I listen to learn more about both scripture and theology. I also enjoy...”Read full review »
