The Shadows Affect Us

Episode 151 - At The Well (Lent 2023)

In one form or another we can sometimes live in isolation and hiding. Because of shame and sin we clothe ourselves with shadows, we hide. These lies that we hide behind keeps us stuck and paralyzed—Jesus wants to call us out of that.

The places of hiding don't have to defeat us, but they can become these intimate places where the Lord desires to be.

This episode is the third part of our Lenten series on Fr. Mark Toups's Lenten Companion that talks about the Well not only as a place of shame but intimacy as well. This episode shows us the reality of the renunciation and what it means to leave the shadows behind.

An invitation to say "no more lying and hiding", an invitation to be honest that the shadows affect us, an invitation to name our struggles or sins, an invitation to remember that the brokenness never defines us.

A reminder that God is always in search for us, that we are pursued even as sinners and He wants to shed light to our darkness.
