What if Lent isn’t about subtracting pleasures but adding presence? We open our hearts to a gentler, braver path into the season by sitting with Matthew 25 and its plain, searching vision of faithfulness: feeding, welcoming, clothing, visiting. No grand gestures. No spiritual scorekeeping. Just the slow courage to notice and to stay. Along the way, we name how distraction, hurry, and self-monitoring can warp Lent into anxiety, and how love interrupts our pace long before it touches our wallet.

We trace the subtle but vital movement from private piety to public love, recognizing that Jesus praises not perfected rituals but ordinary attention offered to the least of these. There’s a freedom here: this is fruit, not currency—evidence that the kingdom has taken root, not payment for admission. We don’t have to fix everything. We are called to be faithful somewhere. One conversation, one meal, one visit, one interruption. And we tell the truth that serving won’t always feel meaningful; love is measured not by our sensations but by whether it stays when it’s awkward, tiring, or inconvenient.

Lent can become a school for sight. Formation happens through repetition: practice noticing threats and you become anxious, notice inconvenience and you grow irritable, notice need and compassion takes shape. Christ does not hide in riddles; he places himself in ordinary vulnerability right in front of us—at home, at work, in our neighborhoods. So we offer a simple practice for the week: intentionally notice one person you usually rush past and offer something small—time, listening, encouragement, patience, help. Not to earn, but to learn to see. If this reframing resonates, subscribe, share with a friend who’s rethinking Lent, and leave a review with one small act of love you plan to practice this week.

What if the quiet you’re hearing isn’t absence, but invitation? We open season two by stepping into 1 Samuel 3 and the tender moment God calls a sleepy apprentice by name. The word was rare, the lamps were still lit, the rituals kept going—yet clarity felt thin. From that ancient night, we draw a living guide for modern hearts that have learned the sound of notifications but forgotten the shape of holy interruption.

We trace Samuel’s missteps without shame. He runs to Eli because he hears a voice and assumes the familiar. It takes time, patience, and a wise nudge to teach him the simplest posture: “Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening.” That line becomes our compass. We don’t chase spectacle; we practice availability. We talk about recognizing God’s voice in ordinary moments—a line that lingers, a conversation that won’t let go, a verse that resurfaces when you need it most. We look at repetition not as redundancy but as mercy, the way truth returns until we are ready to receive it.

Along the way, we get practical. Start small. Make space for a sentence, not a performance. Notice recurring themes across scripture, conscience, and community. Trust that God plays the long game and isn’t offended by your learning curve. If God called Samuel four times, He can handle your hesitation. And if you’re weary or unsure, take heart: being human is not a defect. It’s the place where grace does its best work.

If the season ahead feels crowded or thin, join us as we practice a gentler way to listen. Subscribe, share this with a friend who could use some quiet courage, and leave a review to help others find the show. What simple line is echoing in your life right now?

Greetings, Friends!

Welcome to Episode 10 of the podcast, and I hope you are all well. In this final episode in the "In the Beginning...Again" series, we look into Revelation a little bit. Revelation is a book filled with so many images and so many things which we have feared and questioned...but what if it isn't all about the end of things, but is a beginning? What if it is happening now, because God is with us, and the end of fear and doubt is upon us because God is with us in our hearts and lives already? Let's talk about it!

Scripture:

Revelation 21:1-5
