Episode Synopsis

Lent is a season that involves lament, repentance, and anticipation. This past week we began the season of Lent with fasting, praying, and grieving our own personal sin. Asking God to examine our hearts…to bring to light any anxious thoughts…any ways that are offensive…and lead us in the way everlasting.
This week…as we fast…when our bodies remind us what we are sacrificing, we take time to pray…to ask God what sins of the church God longs for us to lament and repent. Sit in that moment…grieve…and ask God if there is a part God has for you in righting these wrongs.
What’s wrong with the world? Poverty, war, abortion, racism, human trafficking, opioid addiction - this list can become long. We can think of countless ways that this world is fallen, broken and in need of Christ. Lent is not just about personal lament over sin and brokenness, but we also lament the sin and brokenness in the world AND in the church itself.
