What - and when - is Lent? We are right in the middle of the Lenten journey, a religious observance in the Christian calendar commemorating the 40 days Jesus spent fasting in the desert. It is marked by prayers, fasting and almsgiving. And if you need a refresher on what that third tenet of Lent is, you have come to the right place. Join Insatiably Curious Host and Producer David Gee and Pastor Jeff Lindsay, Senior Minister at Colonial Church in Edina, Minnesota, a suburb of Minneapolis. Hear Pastor Lindsay talk about the history of Lent, what it prepares us for and its purpose on the Christian calendar. In this wide ranging conversation the pair also discuss what the pandemic has meant for Jeff's church as well as the bigger church, including changing the name of a congregation that dates back to 1946. The conversation also touches on what community means today, and if the trend of fewer people identifying with a specific faith and attending church in person will continue. Finally, they end with a fascinating story about Pastor Lindsay's eventful trip to a Moscow McDonalds.
