In the last few years, I (Bruce), like many of you, have been processing a ton of stuff having to do with the American Christian Church. My journey has brought me face to face with a number of sins that the Church has either been complicit in or ignored and allowed to grow unchecked.

These are sins that have hurt real people, had dangerous outcomes, and damaged our witness for Jesus. I had a friend mention that he wished the church would take this upcoming Lent season as an opportunity to lament and repent from these sins. Because I had already been exploring what that could and should look like, I did some brainstorming and got my fingers typing and then came up with a Lent schedule of prayer and reflection focused on lamenting and repenting from those things that have damaged our ability to invite people into Jesus's Kingdom.

This "episode" is my invitation for you to join me starting tomorrow, February 17 (Ash Wednesday) for the next 6 weeks.

All information you need can be found at the below link:

Additionally, that link will be updated with each week's reading schedule and it will be presented daily on my and FCT's Instagram: @bpags2 & @FoldingChairTheology

I hole you'll join me.
