Lenten Podcast
A pause. A moment to notice what we have and to see Christ among us.
Lent is a time of reflection and we will be spending time considering, evaluating, praying about our ... STUFF. The things we have and the resources we hold. How does our real life intersect with scripture, with Jesus, with faith?
This podcast that is part of Be Church Now by Elizabeth Mae Magill and connected to the book When Did We See You? A Lenten Exploration of Poverty and Wealth (Upper Room Books 2026).
A scripture, a commentary, a prayer. 3-5 minutes to start your day, as a lunch break, or to close your evening.
Follow, subscribe (its free), or whatever, and share with your friends and church.

Lenten Study
We give up stuff for Lent, but rarely reflect on what stuff we have and how our money and belongings affect our life of faith. This study is for personal or group reflection on the wealth we have, or don't have, and what we should think about as we imagine Christ in those that need food, drink, clothing, or healing, and are strangers or in prison.
When Did We See You? is available from Upper Room Books or other book retailers. I am also available for workshops for your congregation about poverty, wealth, and care of your neighbors. I do book discussions for free!
