A guided Sign of the Cross meditation for Week 2 of Reenchanted.

This week we're exploring what it means to repent of intellectualism and believe in embodiment — the idea that faith isn't only something you think, but something you live in your actual body. This practice is one small way to close that gap.

Using the ancient movement of the Sign of the Cross, we move through the mind, the heart, the past, and the future — slowly, with breath, with honesty. No performance required.

Find a comfortable seat, place your feet on the floor, and let yourself be led.

Reenchanted: A Series for Lent on Believing Again | The Local Church, Sundays at 10am at Woods Charter School

March 1, 2026

In our second week of the Reenchanted series, we talk about ditching the intellectual armor that keeps us isolated and stuck in "knowing" all the right answers. Stop trying to think your way to God, and start learning how to feel your way back to the wild, messy, embodied life you were meant to live. It’s time to repent of certainty and let your finite, beautiful body be the place where divine grace actually meets you.

Scripture: John 3:1–17

This is the Week 1 grounding practice for Reenchanted: A Series for Lent on Believing Again — a Lenten series from The Local Church.

This week's practice is called A List of Mysteries. It's a simple guided meditation designed to help you slow down and practice sitting with what you cannot explain—not as a failure of understanding, but as an act of faith.

Take a walk while you listen if you're able. Or find a quiet place to sit and let your imagination do the moving.

This practice pairs with Week 1 of the Reenchanted series, where we explore Matthew 4:1–11 and what it means to repent from certainty and believe in simply believing again.
