Liturgical Shenanigans: The Podcast

S2.E8 | The Fast We Choose

Happy Liturgical Shenanigan Day! We're back from our hiatus at the start of another high liturgical season: Lent. So in this episode we will be turning our attention to practices of Lent, specifically fasting. Using Isaiah 58 as a focus we chat about fasting and all the ways in which we can incorporate that into our observance of this liturgical season. 
Throughout the season of Lent we will be engaging Psalm 58 through writing and development of content and resources over on our social media. We'll also return to Isaiah 58 on the podcast later on in the season of Lent as a sort of check in/waystone. So follow along for more on the theme

S2.E7 | Embodied Practices

Happy Liturgical Shenanigan Day ANNDDD Happy Advent! This week the team discusses what it means to engage embodied practices and shenanigans. What does embodied mean? What is it to worship with our whole selves? Does this make worship more or less accessible? 
This year for advent, we at Wayfolk Arts were commissioned by Emmaus Church of Holland, MI to assist in the development of a devotional entitled "Embodied Advent." Each week features a scripture reflection and an embodied practice to engage. You can access the full devotional on Emmaus Church's website here: https://emmausreformedchurch.org/advent-devotional/. We are also posting snippets of the devotional on our social media sites. 
Speaking of social media, you can explore our advent liturgies and more that we create on Instagram by following @WayfolkArts, our Facebook page "Wayfolk Arts," or by visiting our website: http://www.wayfolkarts.com.

S2.E5 | Thanksgiving Shenanigans

Happy Wednesday and (almost) Thanksgiving! The worst time of the year for turkeys. The Liturgical Shenantanigizers discuss their holiday traditions and why they are or are not meaningful. Why gather? Why not gather? Who are we gathering with? And (most importantly) why would anyone ever eat cranberry sauce that did not come from an Ocean Spray can (not sponsored)?

S2.E2 | Artist-Theologian?

Happy liturgical Wednesday! This week your favorite shenantanigizers talk about what it means to be exploring the dual vocation of "artist-theologian." 
We wonder: what is your familiarity with the terms artist and theologian? Do YOU think they compliment each other? Are you comfortable leaning into either or both labels? Does one need to earn the right to declare themselves an artist or a theologian?

S2.E1 | Wayfolk Manifesto

ANNNNNNDDD we're back! In this episode your favorite shenantanigizers return and discuss what exactly they believe and long for Wayfolk Arts to do via a manifesto. You can read the draft of the manifesto they engage here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zcu8fRf1Snx6VrIr-xerjzEhrNsNX2jgcd5bhUzMUk0/edit?usp=sharing
Correction corner- Hannah defends her choice of the word manifesto by claiming a love for a Wendell Berry poem she titles "The Mad Farmer Manifesto" when it is in fact titled "Manifesto: The Mad Farmer Liberation Front." Her error is valid but an error none-the-less. 
We want to know your personal manifestos! You can communicate with us via any of our socials (listed below) or by joining our discord channel: Wayfolk Arts Discord Family. Here you will find various pathways to discuss different liturgical topics or to just send us a hey. Hope to see you there!
