The readings for this week for the Ninth Sunday after Pentecost are Isaiah 1:1, 10-20 and Psalm 50:1-8, 22-23, or Genesis 15:1-6 and Psalm 33:12-22, with Hebrews 11:1-3, 8-16, and Luke 12:32-40.  This week we look at being prepared.  The Wright Brothers' didn't expect to be the people who would fly the first manned flight but through things throughout their lives and not be intimidated by the task at hand, they were able to be the first ones.  With our faith, we need to put ourselves into positions where the gifts that God has given us, can be used and seen in the world around us.  Thanks again for taking the time out to listen to this and I hope this is a tool that you find useful. Remember to answer this week's question: Where do you need to be persistent with your gifts? #FaithandSciPod If you're wanting to hear other podcasts on these texts check out:  8-11-19 - Are We (You) Prepared for God?8-7-22 - Faith Even in a Difficult Times I look forward to all of your feedback,Tyler Bublitz Music used in the podcast:March On by Silent PartnerPorches and Universes by Puddle of Infinity Social Media:X: @FaithandSciPodFacebook Group: Faith and Science Podcast GroupFacebook Company Page: The Faith and Science PodcastLinkedIn: Faith and Science PodcastEmail: thefaithandsciencepodcast@gmail.com YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@FaithandSciPod References:The Green Blades Preaching Roundtable (Weekly) or Green Blades Rising Publications (Monthly) reach out to ecofaith@nemnsynod.org and say which you would like to sign up for! - https://nemnsynod.org/ecofaith-network/    https://www.ecofaithnetwork.org/https://50-states-in-50-days.experience.stjude.org/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KTYbvU-aSf4https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYuAXjDn1CUhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K499hKMabMM
