      <title>Re-gifting</title>
      <link>http://www.holycovenantmcc.org/podcasts/Regifting.mp3</link>
      <description>Re-gifting is seen by some people as questionable at best, and others see it as downright tacky at worst. In the Body of Christ, however, re-gifting is not only acceptable, it is expected.</description>

      <title>Bodily Functions</title>
      <link>http://www.holycovenantmcc.org/podcasts/bodilyfunctions.mp3</link>
      <description>Let's face it; some of our bodily functions-while necessary-are nothing short of, well, disgusting. Not so in the body of Christ-although we tend to see some functions as more honorable than others, and treat them accordingly.</description>

      <title>The Family Name</title>
      <link>http://www.holycovenantmcc.org/podcasts/thefamilyname.mp3</link>
      <description>Throughout history, names have carried meanings which in turn have influenced how people relate to one another. For example, "Aaron" means "teacher," and Jesus-a form of Joshua-means "one who saves" or "salvation." As followers of God in the way of Jesus, what does our "family name" say about us?</description>

      <description>If you have pets, children, or a partner, you have probably used this phrase more than once after walking into a room that looks like a cyclone has hit it. Could you imagine Pilate feeling a little like this as he enters small Jerusalem to find it in an uproar, and then later sees the person allegedly responsible for the mess standing before him?</description>

      <description>According to Odor Judge Betty Lyon, when it comes to body odor, we are what we eat. That is, whatever we consume eventually finds its way out through our sweat glands. In a way, the same thing can be said of our spiritual lives. So, what kind of odor are we sending out?</description>

      <description>Presbyopia is not a religious disease limited to Presbyterians, but a slow deterioration of close up focus. Transcleral Light Therapy is a new treatment that uses the application of light to the affected area to sharpen our focus. What would happen if we used "The Light" called the teachings of Jesus to sharpen our focus on some of the major issues of our day?</description>
