Pastor Russell, thank you for your dedication to making this podcast each day. You do a wonderful job and it has been a great help in my goal to pray the daily office each day. I started to listen to the podcast when I returned to the office again after COVID. I leave extremely early and had difficulty getting morning prayer done those days. Your podcast filled that gap, but I have come listen to it other days as well. One morning I visited my elderly mother in the hospital after she had to spend the night there. She was exhausted, uncomfortable, and upset. I asked her if she would listen to your morning prayer and I played it on my phone. Because the 2019 BCP morning prayer is similar to the 1928 (the BCP she spent half her life using) she just joined in without a book for most of the morning prayer by memory. By the end, she was calm and in good spirits. The final thing I will say is that I enjoy listening to your sermons posted on the St. Peter’s Anglican Church podcast.

It is wonderful to know that no matter where I am, I have the ability to pray the Daily Office for morning and evening prayer. Thank you for your dedication to this. It is a powerful tool that I intend to share with my coaching clients, as well. When I was shattered by the actions inside the faith tradition I held since my youth, and couldn’t find the words to pray, the liturgy and the prayers of the saints held me, and helped me find my voice to continue in praise. Three years on, and The Daily Office continues be a significant part of my daily walk with Christ.

This podcast is a wonderful tool to help the person who is trying to keep the office of fixed hour prayer. It follows the 2019 BCP. Thanks to Andrew Russell for this presentation that guides listeners through the liturgy.

I just love having this tool to shift my focus towards God when I don’t have the capacity to read or pray or sing with my own energy. I feel so much better afterwards and have renewed energy to offer my prayers and songs to the Lord.

I felt conflicted because I wanted to workout each morning as well as pray, but felt I often didn’t have time for both. Now I can. Thanks!

It’s wonderful tool for daily devotion. Only one problem, the prayers are uploaded according to NA time, which is behind for me. It would be great Andrew if you could consider uploading the episodes (half) a day earlier to that people everywhere in the world would be able to use this prayer guide in time. Much thanks.

We use it regularly as part of our morning office.

Fr Andrew, well done! Great podcast that I am now using for my early morning walks. Great voice, easy to listen to; faithful biblical pronunciations; ans strong liturgical sense, as I feel I’m being led in a church service. This is a gift to the Church. (Bp Paul Donison)

Thank you so much for reading the daily office. In the past, I have tried and failed to find a way to adopt it as a way of prayer. This opportunity of listening to it being read in a very forthright manner, is just the ticket. Thank you so much.

This podcast has been an excellent way of keeping up with my prayer discipline. Thank you, Andrew, for your ministry!

Thank you for this valuable gift of the Daily Office in such a well produced audio version.

I’m am not Anglican (PCA by way of Southen Baptist) but find great value in this*. As someone who struggles with ADHD, simply trying to set aside time to pray - or choose and consistently follow a reading plan - is so overwhelming I often avoid it. I’ve tried print copies of the BCP but there are often several options for what passage or prayer to read at different times which in the end is also overwhelming so I avoid that as well. This straightforward presentation of prayers and scripture is a beautiful way to eliminate decision paralysis and simply listen, while not adding additional distractions. I have been listening on and off for a while and highly recommend it. *The only thing I have found that I didn't already theologically agree with is inclusion of readings from book of the Maccabees. However, even the Anglican Church doesn’t consider these scripture per se (at least not the ACNA) and - having never read these books - I found the history a fascinating insight into the pre-Christian Judaism that Jesus grew up in.

Amazing resource. I’m thankful to God for this podcast!

Love this as a daily meditation but the host needs to slow down. Feels like he’s rushing through it.

As someone who is just now intentionally exploring Anglicanism, this podcast has been a great resource as I continue to develop my discipline with the Daily Office! I’m sure this podcast would benefit all Anglicans, especially in those moments of solitude when you need to hear a voice other than your own.

The Daily Office Podcast is stellar, following the ACNA 2019 BCP. Andrew’s clear voice and articulation are great (by the way, the app allows you to speed up or slow down the pace). This audio version of the Daily Office follows the traditional canticle rotation. Would it be possible to have an audio version that follows the Office using the daily canticle rotation (see dailyoffice2019.org)?

No frills: modern English Bible translation and prayers, all spoken, in a clear voice, nothing chanted. However, I do wish this included some chanting in keeping with the clear dictation of the rest of the speaking.

This podcast has helped with prioritizing prayer. Praise God

I’ve been a Christian my whole life, but never knew much about the Anglican tradition. I started doing the Daily Office after my husband suggested we consider the Anglican Church. I was so surprised by the difference it made! I’ve done daily devotionals throughout my life, but these prayers have made a bigger impact on me than any of those. Shifting the focus from self improvement/reflection to the simple daily worship of God helped me let go of so much from my past that was keeping me down in the muck. I now feel free of it, I feel closer to God and a lightness in my soul for the first time in decades. I love reading the daily office, but I tend to listen to it most week days. Thank you for providing this no frills podcast!

Fr. Mike Schmitz suggested to those listening to his podcast, Catechism in a Year, either read and/or listen to the Liturgy of the Hour. I have been listening for the past few days and am very grateful to have followed his suggestion! I feel that Liturgy of the Hour will help me build a stronger relationship with the Holy Trinity! God Bless and thank you again!

Enjoying the daily office. Curious, on June 10th, reading Joshua 8, we skipped over vs 24-29 and wondering why?

Thank you for this ministry. Early mornings or a late drive home, the Daily Office podcast keeps the Word and prayers in my daily routine. This is a resource I have shared and will continue to share with many.

I love this podcast. The simplicity is a gift. Very useful and good. Thank you!

Make it happen!

This has been so helpful to me as I am new to following the prayer book. I also really like following along on the website you have linked. I appreciate your efforts! Edit: I would like to add that since I started listening I have looked around and found nothing of this quality, Thanks again!!

Grateful for this podcast. Exactly what I was looking for!

Immense gratitude to Andrew and your team for this faithful work. Your offering is a regular part of my commute and daily rhythm. I have long sought a simple podcast to aid in my daily prayer practice, and so thankful to have finally found yours. Keep up the good work!

As a recent listener to the Daily Podcast, I have enjoyed it. It is a great daily reminder to interact with the Word and with God through prayer. My only complaint would be that sometimes the words are spoken too fast during the prayersfor those who do not have them memorized as of yet.

My wife and I use this nearly everyday. Andrew has a great voice and is easy to follow, for the most part. He has changed the his voice cadence in the Benedictus this past week and just does not flow as well. Would love to see this redone so that it flows more smoothly.

Thankful to Andrew for doing this, very helpful. He is a great reader for this, clear, and even tone and pace. Impressive how the plain reading of Scripture dominates the Daily Office.

This daily podcast is extremely well done and very helpful in my devotions. I’m grateful to those who put their efforts into creating it.

I’m Lutheran but share a liturgical expression to my faith in Jesus in common with the Anglican Church of North America. Thanks for making scripture accessible and using today’s tech. If you would be open to it, please read the scripture reference before the verses. I follow along only by listening, and more than once I have to pause your podcast and then search the YouVersion Bible app for the verse I just heard. Was that in Proverbs? Which Gospel?? “Proverbs chapter 24, Be not envious of evil men…” Spotify includes a beta version of the audio script to follow along with and the scripture references would really help!

When rushed in the morning or too tired to read in the evening, this podcast has been a great way to draw near to God.

My ADHD makes it challenging to consistently take on spiritual disciplines. This podcast is helping me access the rhythms of prayer and scripture reading in a way that works with what my mind needs.

I love having access to this for early morning prayer and practice. I’m not an early bird, so it’s difficult to get my brain going . This makes it so much easier. Thank you!

Just found this podcast and appreciate the helpful guidance of hearing the Daily Office while I also read the text on my phone. A link to the Daily Office readings are included in the show notes. This is so convenient, and a great blessing!

A great tool - simple - “no frills, no fuss” - truly, thank you for supplying the people of God with this tool.

The Daily Office Podcast is a wonderful discipleship tool that guides listeners through morning and evening prayer according to the 2019 Book of Common Prayer (Anglican Church in North America). Thank you Andrew for this vital ministry!! I love that I am able to pray the office on the go from anywhere in the world.

This podcast makes it so easy to use the Daily Office to take in God’s word and pray. As a bonus, I can do this while washing the dishes and so forth. Excellent audio engineering, too, with a good voice and seamless transitions.

What you see is what you get. There’s a brief intro and outro, but it’s basically just the Daily Office according to the ACNA 2019 BCP. The reader has a good voice, good cadence, and is clearly familiar with the text he’s reading.

Thank you so much for making this show. Your pacing is great, and audio is perfect. I so appreciate being able to listen to this every morning. I was searching for a podcast for the ACNA 2019 BCP, your ministry is greatly appreciated.

Finally found the 2019 daily office podcast! What a great find. Keep up the faithful and good work.

As a busy homemaking, homeschooling mom with a part-time job, my goal for this year concerning devo time was to “do it distracted”. This podcast allows me to enjoy the daily office while making the kids breakfast, doing dinner dishes, driving the hubby to work, etc! No more using “I don’t have time” as an excuse - instead, I can make the most of “hands are busy, mind is free” time. Thank you so much for this podcast! It’s an answer to prayer!

Thank you for providing this wonderful morning and evening reading. It is such a blessing to me when I am too weak to hold or eyes too weak to see. You read to me my daily readings filling my spirit with God’s Word. Bess you triple fold. Thank you.

This was exactly what I was looking for! Please keep it going and never change a thing.

I greatly appreciate the Daily Office Podcast. There are some days where I find it difficult find time for the office, so joining with the liturgy — even digitally — is far more edifying than whatever else I could come up with.

I wish he would read the daily office a little slower to allow time for thought and to make it easier to read in unison.

My husband left town for a week and so I was left to do the Daily Office on my own. We typically pray the office together. I have become so accustomed to praying and reading Scripture in community (the two of us) that I was at a loss as to get started on my own. And then I remembered this podcast. What joy it has brought me; I will continue to pray with you until he returns. Thank you and many blessings!

Thanks for a great morning and evening reading. Your voice is easy to listen to and not distracting so we can focus on the words and thoughts.

Thank you for your time, diligence and steadfast offering of the Daily Office. Not only is the quality of production excellent, but the clarity of presentation of the 2019 text and reading of the Scriptures are perfect. Your steadfast discipline to pray the Office (laborare est orare), enables those of us–the Church catholic–who struggle with time and place, to pray and believe rightly (lex orandi lex credendi). God bless your ministry!
