The Christian Year is a profound exercise in the Church but is often shorten to Christmas and Easter in the Evangelical Church. This week, we sit down with Dr. Daniel Rife to talk about the Christian Year, Specifically the season of Lent. We talk about Holy Week, Ash Wednesday, and what this season is all about. This is part four of the Living Christ series going through each season of the Christian Year. The Christian Year is a great structure for worship for the Church and is a useful tool for pastors in ministry. Dr. Rife's book, Living Christ: Embodying Jesus' Life in Worship Through the Christian Year, lays out perfectly how pastors can integrate the Christian Year in ministry contexts.

Music in Every Episode is Performed by Caledonia
Caledonia is a folk rock band from Fort Wayne, Indiana. They like spending time outside, cracking good dad jokes, and most importantly, writing and creating music for people to hear (and eventually love). You can find them on instagram @officialcaledonia to learn more about them and hear some more of their music.
Their first offering, the bedroom sessions EP, is available now to listen here: https://caledoniaband.bandcamp.com/releases
About the bedroom sessions EP:
"The bedroom sessions EP is a small collection of originals that are in decent demo form, mixed and mastered by the members of caledonia in bedrooms, living rooms, backyards, kitchens, cars, and anywhere else music might be listened too. Note that these are placeholders for more professional recordings to come soon, so they won't be studio quality; however, they were written, played, and created with love and gratitude for anyone who will listen. Enjoy."
