There are several practices that we are preparing to do during this Lent. But this time of year shouldn’t only be a project we must fulfill but rather an opportunity. Lent is an opportunity to exercise a posture of prayer, fasting, almsgiving, and surrender. We surrender to someone, to a relationship that matters, to God.
In this episode, we will talk about how we transform what’s being taken from us into something offered and how we can make our sacrifices and circumstances holy. This is a reminder and an invitation to relinquish control and to entrust everything to the Lord when we cannot control or don’t like the things happening around us. A proposal to trust that the Lord can make something good and beautiful out of it.

Are we good at repenting? When someone notices our stuff and points it out… are we open to it? To repenting wholeheartedly? Or do we hold onto it? We need help repenting and finding healing, so God constantly sends prophets to speak into the lives of his chosen people. David’s a really good example of how…

Worship and Warmth
In our faith we sometimes find ourselves in the extremes. We become either strict and liturgical or warm and casual but the truth is our faith should not be “either, or” but “both, and”. We need to be in this place where we are able to both worship and adore the Lord and…

Actions and Consequences
Jesus dying on the cross symbolizes God’s victory but is also the consequence of sin. This is one of the most striking examples that there are things that we can do that are going to have real concrete consequences in our lives and the lives of others. Christians and Catholics try to memorialize this consequence through the crucifix. But in reality…
