Sarah Elizabeth Smith

Kelsey and Sarah sit down and talk about the meaning of Lent.  Lent is the liturgical season in the Christian calendar that represents the 40 days Jesus went to the desert before his death.  The season begins with Ash Wednesday and ends with Good Friday, Holy Saturday and Easter Sunday.  Kelsey and Sarah explore the ways in which Lent has been used to as a theology of shame and guilt and how we might offer a theology of original goodness to help modern believers to find a balance in our tradition’s season of penitence.
