Here are three key takeaways for you from this week's episode:

GENESIS 9: 8-15
1 PETER 3: 18-21
MARK 1: 12-15

Lent and its presence in the Bible: Lent, although not strictly mentioned in the Bible, is deeply rooted in the biblical themes of training, testing, and preparing, closely associated with the number 40, which holds significant symbolic value throughout the Bible.  Your Host Julie South includes Fr Mike's answer to "where is Lent mentioned in the Bible" (Fr Mike - Ascension Presents).

Symbolism in Bible passages: Julie shines some light on the intriguing metaphors in this week's passages:  

• Genesis - highlighting the timeless spiritual messages they offer. The rainbow as a sign of God's covenant with Noah, the comparison of the flood to baptism [in]  
• 1 Peter - Jesus' wilderness experience as a period of purification in 
• Mark's Gospel painted a vivid picture of spiritual significance.

God's Ongoing Plan of Redemption: The episode beautifully illustrates the interconnectedness of God's promises, referred to as covenants, with his people.  This emphasises the themes of:

• salvation, 
• renewal, and 
• spiritual preparation across the Old Testament and the Gospels.
