Episodes

  1. The Twelfth Day of Christmas: Who are those guys?

    The end of Christmas and the unexpected company

  2. The Eleventh Day of Christmas: The Jesus Way

    As we're nearing the end of the Christmas season I hear the echo of the modern meme: Jesus is the reason for the season. However, if those who claim the label "Christian" are not actually following Jesus on his Way, then simply repeating that meme comes close to invoking the Lord's Name in vain.

  3. The Tenth Day of Christmas: The New Year + 2

    Is the Normal Christian life a bit sub-normal?

  4. The Ninth Day of Christmas: The Second Sunday of Christmas

    We don't get two Sundays in Christmas that often - and that's rather a shame.

  5. The Eighth Day of Christmas: The Holy Name?

    Maybe going back to an earlier name for this day may give us a better sense of what God has been doing in the Jesus story.

  6. The Seventh Day of Christmas: The Turning of Time

    In the midst of the chaos and uncertainty and disasters of these days, it is still New Years Eve. People still celebrate. People still hope. But what does this turning mean for us as apprentices of Jesus?

  7. The Sixth Day of Christmas: A quiet moment in between times

    Not every day has to filled with profound moments. Sometimes the best spiritual exercise is to do the ordinary in God's company

  8. The Fifth Day of Christmas: Putting Herod back in Christmas

    It's time for my annual birthday downer. There's no problem getting older. But quite often the Church calendar moves the commemoration of the slaughter of the children of Bethlehem to December 29th. It's not really a commemoration I want to share.

  9. The Fourth Sunday of Christmas: Making all things new

    Brief, but there's important stuff in the work of St. John the Evangelist!

  10. The Second Day of Christmas: Stephen the martyr

    Things are still a day off thanks to both our solar calendar and the rules of the Christian calendar. It's not going to get any better, so just close the calendar app and follow along

  11. The Third Day of Christmas: Deep Foundations

    Yes, December 26 is the 2nd Day of Christmas, not the 3rd. But bear with me as all will become clear. Maybe

  12. The First Day of Christmas

    A series of reflections on the twelve days of Christmas

  13. SOP

    It's Standard Operating Procedure. It's the way things are done. And it's wrong.

  14. A Tale of Two Kingdoms

    This is the basis for reexamining our understanding of and approach to conversion. Without this grasp of the two incompatible kingdoms the path of our apprentice priesthood is a dead end.

  15. The Priest Part

    In the second episode I undertake a brief description of what is meant by the priest part of the Apprentice Priest.

  16. Welcome to the Apprentice Priest Podcast

    An introduction to the podcast series, The Apprentice Priest. My name is Jack Stapleton, an Episcopal priest (now retired) and blogger who is both fascinated and disturbed by Jesus the Christ and by what he means to and for our world.
