This episode we talk about Phil's translation of Psalm 133. It is a psalm that is especially meaningful and hopeful within the context of Pride month - which was when we recorded this particular episode. We ask questions about inclusivity, welcome, and longing for the kind of unity where all siblings can be around one table.

We had a mis-upload on our last episode. So sorry! This is actually the episode with the whole crew talking about Hannah's work on Psalm 126. Apologies for any confusion or gaslighting you may have experienced in listening to an episode twice in a row. :D
This episode we talk about Hannah's writing on and translation of Psalm 126. We've got flying chickens, joyful hollering, and lots of things in between.
