This devotional offers an entry point for curious seekers, layers of depth for the seasoned Christian, and a window into the heart of a new generation’s spiritual longings.

As you embark on a transformative journey through Lent, you’ll be guided towards a deeper faith and connection with God through the dark and wild seasons of life.
