About this episode
John and Victor discuss the true meaning of Lent as a time to encounter Jesus rather than just a checklist of sacrifices.
Lent is an invitation to encounter Jesus. In this episode, John and Victor reflect on how easy it is to approach Lent as a checklist of sacrifices instead of a path toward deeper relationship with Christ. If your Lenten practices have ever felt mechanical or disconnected from real change, this conversation is an invitation to refocus the season where it belongs. Lent is not about what you give up. It is about who you encounter.
