FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text MessageLent is not merely about sacrificing earthly pleasures; it's an invitation to embark on a profound spiritual journey. In our latest podcast episode, we explore Dr. Scott Hahn's revelatory book, *The Fourth Cup*, which bridges the Jewish Passover with the Last Supper and unveils rich insights about Christ's ultimate sacrifice. Through this exploration, we discover how understanding the significance of the fourth cup can enhance our Lenten experience, transforming it into a season of deep reflection and growth.The discussion highlights the traditional four cups of wine consumed during the Passover, each with profound meanings tied to remembrance and liberation. Delving into these themes, we explore how Jesus refrains from drinking the fourth cup during the Last Supper, only to fulfill it on the cross, declaring “It is finished.” This comprehension not only deepens our appreciation for the Eucharist but also emphasizes the essence of sacrifice during Lent—inviting each of us to participate in Christ's love and mission.Join us as we navigate practical ways to engage more deeply with our Lenten practices! Consider picking up *The Fourth Cup*, reflecting on its themes during Mass, and participating in the Stations of the Cross. Let's make this Lent a time for transformation and deepen our relationship with Christ. Ready to embrace this journey?

Reverend Beverly Gibson and Johnny Gwin occasionally riff off the main weekly sermon lesson themes - sometimes they veer way off course - and we either keep these audio bits, or we trash them. They plucked this audio from Episode 32 - Once Upon A Tax recording and decided to share it with everyone on this 2016 wrap up show. Beverly and Johnny felt that this 10-minute conversation revealed the spark, purpose and breathe of this podcast. Johnny explains his Sabbadoodles, and Beverly discusses her sermon creation and how they both have evolved and transformed this year since starting Pulpit To Pew.
