If you're looking for genuine spirituality, you're looking for meaningful change in your life that's only found in union with Christ.
Ever felt like your spiritual practices are more about following rules than finding real meaning? In this episode of 'Encounter Recovery Ministries', Rick Peterson takes a closer look at the Lenten season and the difference between genuine Christian faith and empty rituals. Drawing on the apostle Paul's teachings to the Colossians, Rick explains how some ancient practices, much like those in modern Lent, were more about self-made rules than true devotion. But don't worry, it's not all doom and gloom.
Rick offers a refreshing perspective on what real Christian piety looks like and how it can transform your life and relationships. He encourages listeners to move beyond just ticking off religious boxes and instead embrace a faith that's rooted in Christ's work and the Holy Spirit's guidance. Whether you're observing Lent or just looking to deepen your faith, this episode offers valuable insights that can help you shift from a rule-based spirituality to a more meaningful, relational journey.
