3rd Week of Lent: Suffering with Christ featuring Mary Lenaburg

About this episode

Mary Lenaburg discusses the meaning of suffering with Christ during Lent.

When we stand at the foot of the Cross, we encounter true compassion—literally, “to suffer with.” Mary Lenaburg knows this compassion intimately. Having experienced profound sorrow and deep joy, she understands that suffering is not a season to escape but a place to remain with Christ. While her life has not been a perpetual Lent, she has learned how to walk through it—standing beside Jesus at the Cross and discovering there a love that redeems every trial.
