Over the next six weeks, we’ll be tracing the steps of Jesus all the way from His agonizing prayers in the Garden of Gethsemane to His final moments on the cross. But before we take that journey, we have to prepare. In this episode, we dive into the intense, 40-day baptism preparations of the early church, explore the true purpose of fasting, and discover how staring at the reality of our own mortality (Memento Mori) might just be the best way to cut through the noise of modern life. It turns out, remembering our end actually teaches us how to live—and love—better today.
