In this episode of Prophetic Voices, we’ll be discussing the lectionary for Sunday, September 14, Proper 19 (C). The texts covered are Luke 15:1-10 and Jeremiah 4:11-12, 22-28.
Our amazing guests this week are:
- The Rev. Jazzy Bostock, a kanaka maoli woman serving St. John the Baptist and Maluhia Lutheran Church in Waianae, Hawaii. She and her wife have a small homestead, consisting of raised garden beds, some fruit trees, a flock of hens, a hive of bees, and a dog. Their two sons, Theo, who came to them through foster care, and Sam, keep joy, laughter, and coffee flowing in their home.
- The Rev. Dr. Lisa da Silva, a professor of wisdom traditions in the San Francisco Bay Area, where she also serves as a spiritual director. The creation of art is her passion, as is deep house music. Lisa was selected to be a 2024 Episcopal Church delegate at COP29 in Azerbaijan.
- The Rev. Anna Shine, a campus minister at Appalachian State University and the missioner for creation care and social justice at St. Luke’s Episcopal Church in Boone, Diocese of Western North Carolina. Her deepest passion is to find ways to connect and reconnect people of faith with the rest of God’s creation. She loves listening to stories, doing puzzles, making music with others through singing and playing violin, getting her hands dirty in garden soil, and spending time with her dog, Hugo.
Prophetic Voices is hosted by the Rev. Isaiah “Shaneequa” Brokenleg, The Episcopal Church’s interim officer for Indigenous Ministries.

Prophetic Voices: Preaching and Teaching Beloved Community
Across our church and our society, we are having profound dialogues about race, truth, justice, and healing. Coming this Advent, Prophetic Voices: Preaching and Teaching Beloved Community explores where that dialogue intersects with our faith. Join us and our invited guests as we share prophetic voices and explore the readings through the lens of social justice.
You’ll hear ancient texts interpreted in new ways, find fodder for preaching and teaching, and make present day connections to the prophetic voices of the Bible. This podcast will help us rethink how we hear, see, and interact with the lectionary readings.
Church of the Redeemer
Welcome to Church of the Redeemer: Worshiping God, living in community, and reaching out to the world. We are an Episcopal Church serving north King County and south Snohomish County, Washington. As you travel your road, go with friends walking the way of Jesus at Redeemer.
Church of the Redeemer is at 6220 Northeast 181st Street in Kenmore, Washington. We are a short distance north of Bothell Way, near the Burke-Gilman Trail. The entrance looks like a gravel driveway. The campus is larger on the inside than it is on the outside. And we managed to hide a large building on the side of a hill that is not easily seen from the street.
The Episcopal Church welcomes you.
