episode 44: it's beginning to look a lot like…Lent
In keeping with our New Year’s Resolution to look into the upcoming lectionary themes at the beginning of each month, we take most of this episode to discuss themes, approaches, and a few resources for Ash Wednesday and Lent.
Along the way, we talk about Denver’s need for more heroes as we listen to the newest record yet, by Five Iron Frenzy. Check out their website and YouTube page for more information. Lonesome for Heroes, and Renegades. Remember there’s already at least one hero in Denver, our friend Sarah Jackson at Casa de Paz!
Somewhere we diverged and began thinking of the top songs of the rock era, as per Rolling Stone Magazine.
Eventually we get around to discussing Ash Wednesday and Lent.
