Are we going to walk in the flesh, are we going to have a fleshly religion, or are we going to actually walk in the spirit, and in the fullness of the benefit that Christ shed his blood to purchase on our behalf?
Is Lent just another way for us to justify ourselves? In this episode of Encounter Recovery Ministries, Rick Peterson dives into the often-overlooked nuances of Lenten practices. With guest Dr. Glen Sunshine, they explore whether these traditions truly bring us closer to Christ or merely serve as a form of self-justification. Peterson discusses the tension between living in the flesh and walking in the spirit, emphasizing the importance of discernment and the Holy Spirit's guidance.
The conversation also touches on how these religious practices can sometimes divert our focus from Jesus to ourselves. If you're curious about how to navigate these spiritual challenges, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice.
