Lenten Podcast: ”Whom Do You Seek?”

What does it look like to encounter God at the empty tomb? Duke senior Samantha Hernandez leads us through a reflection for this Easter Sunday. In our final episode of this podcast series, we are offered ways to respond to the Scripture readings and to enter into the joyful Easter season.

First-year Ryan Grondin reflects on the Gospel reading for Palm Sunday, giving us ways we can react to Scripture through prayer, fasting, and almsgiving during Holy Week.

Duke University first-year Avila Casanova shares the Gospel story for this Fifth Sunday of Lent, where we meet Jesus at his dear friend Lazarus' tomb. Avila walks us through a reflection and, using the three pillars of Lent, helps us respond.

For this Fourth Sunday of Lent, Paul Fong, '27, helps us reflect on Jesus' encounter with the blind man in the temple. Paul offers reflections and suggestions for actions we can take this week.

Are you comfortable with letting Jesus see you, even in places of weakness or failure?   In this week's Gospel reading, Jesus meets a Samaritan woman at the well. Emma Podol, Duke senior, helps us reflect on the question: "What is it like to encounter God at the well?"   Gospel Reading for the Third Sunday of Lent: John 4:5-42

This week, we find Jesus on a mountain with three of his closest disciples. Duke University first-year Ernest Binfon Jr. guides us through this week's reflection, asking, "What does it look like to encounter God on the mountaintop?"

This week, we find Jesus in the desert. After his baptism in the Jordan, the Holy Spirit leads Jesus out into the wilderness for a period of intense fasting and prayer, at the end of which Satan appears to tempt him.
