Hook: A beekeeper, gamer, glass‑blower, and wood‑crafter walk into a podcast—and yes, that’s Father Aaron Jenkins.
In this lively episode of All Set for Sunday, guests Scott, Jeff, and the multi‑talented Father Aaron Jenkins explore Scripture, creativity, and vocation with joyful curiosity and humor.
Key Takeaways:
-
Isaiah’s global vision: God calls all nations—Gentiles included—into His family, expanding beyond Israel and pointing to a universal embrace (Isaiah, sent to Tarshish and beyond).
-
God’s discipline as divine training: A spiritual “workout” with long-term strength and fruit (Hebrews 12), not punishment.
-
Luke’s Gospel: a challenge, not a comfort: The call to “strive to enter through the narrow gate” is direct and demands a faith that goes deeper than mere attendance (Luke 13).
Guest Insights:
-
Father Jenkins’s life brims with creative, hands-on projects—from raising bees to designing glass for baptismal fonts, war‑gaming, fly‑tying, and even building a Tiki bar.
-
His call to the priesthood was shaped at Anderson University, where his faith journey led through art, teaching, and vocation.
-
A true artisan, he’s even restored church windows and crafted boats that later became bookshelves.
