• What is Epiphany

Central Thesis/Theme:

In this first episode of the Epiphany season, I explore what "epiphany" really means in the Greek imagination—a divine appearance when all seems lost—and why the lectionary's focus on Jesus's baptism matters for understanding how we begin our Christian life. I'm particularly interested in how baptism functions as a threshold moment, a vigil where we die to ourselves and are raised in community. This episode is also about my ongoing project to democratize biblical interpretation, taking it away from institutional gatekeepers and making it accessible to rank-and-file believers like us.
