5-10-26 - The Advocate Within
Episode 436
Monday, 4 May, 2026

These are the readings for the 6th Sunday of Easter The readings this Sunday are Acts 17:22-31, Psalm 66:8-20, 1 Peter 3:13-22, and John 14:15-21. What if the answer to feeling alone and abandoned was literally written into your body? This week we explore how the immune system — with its T-cells coordinating the response and B-cells sacrificing themselves to protect the whole — mirrors the promise Jesus makes in John 14 of an Advocate who will never leave us. Drawing on the 6th Sunday of Easter lectionary texts from Acts, Psalm 66, 1 Peter, and John, we discover that the way our bodies fight for us might be one of the most profound pictures of how God fights for us. You were never designed to face this alone — and the science agrees. Let me know what you think of it. Remember to answer this week's question: Where do you see an advocate or helper out in the world? #FaithandSciPod If you're wanting to hear other podcasts on these texts check out: 5-14-23 - The Advocate Leading the Way! 5-17-20 - The Holy Spirit as a Catalyst I look forward to all of your feedback, Tyler Bublitz Music used in the podcast: March On by Silent Partner Porches and Universes by Puddle of Infinity Social Media: X: @FaithandSciPod Facebook Group: Faith and Science Podcast Group Facebook Company Page: The Faith and Science Podcast LinkedIn: Faith and Science Podcast Email: thefaithandsciencepodcast@gmail.com YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@FaithandSciPod References: The Green Blades Preaching Roundtable (Weekly) or Green Blades Rising Publications (Monthly) reach out to ecofaith@nemnsynod.org and say which you would like to sign up for! - https://nemnsynod.org/ecofaith-network/ https://www.ecofaithnetwork.org/ Beyond the Argument: Where Science and Scripture Meet - By Esong Ngidie Teddy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germinal_center https://pathologia.ed.ac.uk/topic/somatic-hypermutation-and-affinity-maturation/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4755139/ https://www.nature.com/articles/nature13300 https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8045557/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK27142/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK26827/ https://www.akadeum.com/b-cell/activation/ https://www.britannica.com/science/immune-system/Activation-of-T-and-B-lymphocytes https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6963622/ https://www.cell.com/immunity/fulltext/S1074-7613(23)00265-0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvChtwwdIBo
