Podcast Introduction

Visuals for this podcastWe created this 40-day Lent devotional to help our church set this season apart by putting the cross before our minds daily, not just on Sundays, so that we can be transformed in our thoughts, attitudes, affections, and actions.Each day we’ll follow the PRAY rhythm: Pause (invite the Spirit and center ourselves), Reflect (scripture and reflections), Apply (how the text should shape our lives), Yield (confession, gratitude, or other responses), and we’ll end with the Lord’s Prayer because the cross is what makes it possible for us to pray to our Father for help, forgiveness, and His kingdom.Over the series we’ll look at the following things in light of the cross:SinSalvationGodOurselvesOur RelationshipsOur purposeOur SufferingOur FutureWe’re inviting you to join us five days a week, with weekend space to catch up, and to build this into your daily rhythms—morning, commute, or before bed—with journaling if helpful.00:00 Welcome to In Light of the Cross (Meet the Hosts)00:29 Why a Daily Lent Podcast?
