In this message, Eric introduces Lent as a historic Christian season of repentance and renewal. Drawing from his own journey, he highlights the beauty and diversity of the global church and explains why Grace is intentionally stepping into this ancient practice, showing how believers have long prepared their hearts for Easter through repentance and fasting. Teaching from Joel 2:12–13, he explains that repentance is a turning—like realizing you’re headed the wrong direction and making a U-turn—and that God invites us to “rend your heart and not your garments.” Lent becomes an invitation to say no to something good in order to say yes to something greater: deeper trust, renewed faith, and surrender to Jesus as King.
