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.

Surrender the Stench
“Have I told Jesus all of my story?” That’s the question that we are going to unpack in this episode. Most of us have confessed and have sought healing in particular places of our lives, but there are still parts of who we are now that we keep in the dark—the stench. The reality of that stench is that it is discouraging and despairing, but Jesus comes, and He’s…

From Fullness For Fullness
When we get to know Jesus, our need for “stuff” — for entertainment, for status — is lessened. Besides, we have to stop pretending that stuff and noise and grasping doesn’t have an effect on our lives. Really examine it in your own life; the truth is that prayer only works in silence…
