Episode Synopsis

Rev. Kevin Parviz, pastor of Congregation Chai v'Shalom in St. Louis, Missouri, joins host Rev. AJ Espinosa to study Psalm 74.

“You crushed the heads of Leviathan; you gave him as food for the creatures of the wilderness. You split open springs and brooks; you dried up ever-flowing streams.” O God, you slew one sea dragon. Now please slay the other! Psalm 74 looks out with confidence amidst the ruins, connecting the destruction of the Temple back to the Exodus and to creation itself. As we preside over the ruins of Christ’s death on the Cross in the Eucharist, we are confident that the ultimate dragon will be slain
