Looking Through Your Eyelashes - Lent 4A (March 15, 2026)

Send us Fan MailThis week, returning guests Cassi Bruno (@cassi_dicci) and Lou Pastorius (@notorious_pastorius) join Bob and Eric for John 9 — the man born blind — and nobody in the room sees it coming. Jesus makes mud in a way that polite people don't repeat in public. The Pharisees are certain they can see. The blind man ends up being the only one who actually does. And somewhere in the middle of all of it, a comedian accidentally preaches the sermon.Expect:A very polite omission of how the mud was madeThe moment Bob realized he could NOT say what he was about to sayWhy Jesus may have healed on the Sabbath on purposeThe dangerous history of the phrase "the Jews" in John's Gospel — and why it mattersA room full of ADHD brains wrestling with the longest gospel reading of LentTwo kinds of blindness, and which one Jesus actually came to cureWhat happens when you wake up and the light is too bright to open your eyes all at onceAlso featuring: Eric's tractor cliff story, Bob's 1994 Concordia College beanie, Jonathan Groff's spray zone, and a ghost tour where Bob was definitely the problem.Pull quote: "If you know better, do better." — Lou Pastorius---John 9:1–41 (NRSVue)This one's too long to fit in our episode notes - grab your Bible and look it up!Hosted by Pastor Eric Damon and Pastor Bob Schaefer.Join the community!Email us at [email protected] us at @cptbpod on most social media platforms.More at linktr.ee/cptbpodMusic: Trickster by Phat SoundsFree download: https://filmmusic.io/song/10864-tricksterLicensed under CC BY 4.0: https://filmmusic.io/standard-licenseScripture quotations are taken from the New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition.
