Ep. 192 - Sheep Without a Shepherd: Why Jesus Chose the Twelve
Mass Readings for June 14, 2026
Jesus looks upon the crowds and sees sheep without a shepherd—and in a bold move, calls and commissions the Twelve to become apostles, not just disciples. We’ll dig deep into the structural brilliance of Matthew’s Gospel, unpacking its connection to the five Mosaic books, and trace the Old Testament echoes from Ezekiel’s warning to corrupt priests all the way to Christ’s own priestly and kingly authority. Along the way, we'll make surprising connections between Jewish harvest festivals, the rebuilding of the Temple, and Peter's explosive vision for the Church. Join us as we wade into the literary, historical, and cultural streams that erupt in this pivotal moment: the sending of the first apostles as laborers into God’s harvest. Read more.
