Lent: The Hold Of Materialism

In this weeks episode of the podcast, Joe and Pastor Lydia talk about how materialism, in very subtle ways, takes hold of our hearts and how Lent, fasting and prayer, makes us available to Gods presence and dreams. Materialism tends to be coupled with luxury, extravagance and lavishness, but materialism can also look like the things we take comfort in knowing it helps us get through our days, and even survive the tumult of our lives. Lent offers us a season of reflection that invites the Holy Spirit to re-examine what we think we “need” to make space for the eternal things that God has in mind for us and his kingdom.
