- 2026 Lent Podcast Series -

This Lent season, journey with us through seven Gospel stories where Jesus meets people in moments of struggle, pain, exclusion, or sin - and transforms their lives with healing, forgiveness, and restoration.

But these encounters aren’t only personal. Again and again, Jesus challenges the social, economic, and religious systems that oppress - breaking through boundaries of gender, ethnicity, class, and religion that keep people from flourishing.

Across seven weeks, we will meet a Jesus who reshapes both people and the world they inhabit: healing bodies, restoring dignity, repairing relationships, and challenging unjust systems. His way invites us into courageous discipleship - one that transforms our character and also moves us to participate in God’s work of renewing communities, seeking justice, and reimagining how society can reflect God’s love. 

This Lent, discover how a changed heart leads to a changed world, and how encountering Jesus calls us into compassion, truth-telling, and embodied love for our neighbours.
