Upcoming Programs

Join us for Episode 4208 with Rev. Dr. Kenyatta Gilbert, Professor of Homiletics at Howard University School of Divinity. In “The Day is Coming,” he opens Luke 21:5–19 and Malachi 4, naming the tensions of our moment—holy terror and holy grace—and calling listeners to courageous witness without becoming what we oppose. Rooted in the 23rd Sunday after Pentecost (Proper 28, Year C), this message invites endurance, hope, and clear-eyed faith amid upheaval.

Join us for Episode 4209 of the Day1 Radio Show and Podcast, featuring the Rev. Dr. Luke Powery, Dean of Duke University Chapel and Associate Professor of Homiletics at Duke Divinity School. In his sermon “Criminal Christ,” based on Luke 23:33-43, Dr. Powery reflects on Jesus as the criminalized Christ—the God who suffers with humanity and offers second chances through love. As we celebrate Reign of Christ Sunday, this message invites us to rediscover God’s mercy and presence among the marginalized.

Join us for Day1 Episode 4210 as Rev. Dr. Anna Carter Florence, Peter Marshall Professor of Preaching and Worship at Columbia Theological Seminary in Decatur, GA, shares her sermon “Reading Our Story Backwards,” based on Matthew 24:1-8, 32-44. On this First Sunday of Advent, Dr. Florence invites us to see the promise of redemption through new eyes, reminding us that knowing God’s ending gives hope to our beginnings. Tune in for this thoughtful and hope-filled message as we begin the Christian year together.
