In this podcast, we explore the ancient practice of Lent and why it still matters for Christians today. Rooted in the 4th century as a time of preparation for Baptism and restoration for those who had wandered from the faith, Lent has always been a season of intentional return. Ultimately, Lent invites us into the ongoing call of the Christian life: to identify what must die in us so that Christ can live more fully.

In Acts 7:9-16, Stephen recounts the story of Joseph, whose brothers sold him into slavery out of jealousy. Rather than demanding the justice he was owed, Joseph surrendered his "right" to retribution, trusting that God was the ultimate judge and provider. This posture of forgiveness not only saved his family from famine but became the very means through which God's redemptive plan unfolded, demonstrating that releasing our grip on vengeance opens the door for God to work in ways far greater than our own retaliation ever could.
