As we reach the halfway point of Lent, Daniel Dunkl invites us to pause and reflect. Whether the season has been fruitful, difficult, or distracted, it is not too late to make space for God. Lent is not meaningful because of itself, but because it creates room for the One who is ultimate meaning.
Journeying through Romans 6–8 and John 4, we explore Paul’s powerful teaching on slavery and freedom, sin and grace, death and new life. There is no neutral ground – we live under an obligation either to sin or to God. Yet in Christ’s death and resurrection, we are set free from the law of sin and welcomed into the life of the Spirit.
This episode reflects on what it means to die with Christ, walk in newness of life, and live as sons and daughters led by the Spirit. Even amid struggle, the Spirit produces life, peace, and hope. Lent becomes a season to ask deeper questions, seek God’s will, and renew our desire for the full life he offers.
