Take Off Your Shoes Sermon Podcast By Marie Duquette
Where current events and the Bible share common ground.
Rev. Marie Duquette, with over 20 years of sound theological preaching, brings the Bible into current events in this podcast. FROM HER LINKED-IN PROFILE - "I've been a progressive pastor in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) for over twenty years, including leading six separate congregations in four states, each with a different emphasis. In that time I've lead a rural congregation through building a church, which included a summer in which several young children died and the community was wracked with grief; a small community through extensive grief; a beachside congregation through a merger with a large cathedral on the mainland; and a diverse congregation in a college town through the pandemic. My writing experience includes liturgical content for Augsburg Fortress (Minneapolis, MI); feature articles for Crazy Wisdom (Ann Arbor, MI); editorials for the Observer-Eccentric (Farmington, MI) as well as creative non-fiction for my SUBSTACK (which is currently free to subscribers), Take Off Your Shoes, since 2010."

9-13-2026 Voting For Justice Sermon Podcast by Marie Duquette
