Lent comes around each year to invite those of us who have grown weak or dim to hear afresh God’s promise and receive anew the Servant’s healing touch. The ends of the earth await his teaching and they will not be disappointed. And neither will the recesses of our hearts that await the warmth of his healing and reconciling love.

For the episode today I reflect on the Temptation of Christ in the 4th Chapter of Matthew’s Gospel. I focus on the use of names during that passage. Who says whose name? What is in a name? What does it mean to speak another’s name? All these are questions I grapple with in the episode today.

EPISODE 427

An unfortunate reality is the terrible effect alcoholism can have in a family. John Sablan faced that in his own family as a teen. John shares with us the feeling of being consumed by the water of the world, being drowned, and the riptides pulling him away.

The story doesn’t end there. If you are facing the same darkness as a result of the effects at the hands of someone fighting alcoholism there is hope. This week we are throwing you a boogie board to latch onto. Join John and I as we discuss how you can use these situations and pain in your life to excel.
