Josh shares why he felt drawn to observe Lent for the first time and how it sparked deeper questions: Are there spiritual practices we’ve overlooked? What can we learn from traditions outside our own church backgrounds? And how do we honor God through discipline without falling into empty religious routine? David reflects on his journey of faith, the power of spiritual habits, and how rhythms like Sabbath rest and intentional devotion shape identity, family life, and relationship with God. Together they explore: The purpose behind Lent and preparing our hearts for Resurrection Sunday Sabbath as a life-giving rhythm, not a legalistic rule Learning from different Christian traditions Faith practices that build spiritual health and generational legacy How discipline can deepen relationship rather than replace it Whether you grew up liturgical, charismatic, or somewhere in between, this conversation invites you to rediscover rhythms that draw you closer to God.
