For week six of our Lent series, Raechel and Amanda are joined by author, pastor, and longtime friend Russ Ramsey! Russ pastors a congregation here in Nashville and is the author of The Passion of the King of Glory, a beautiful retelling of Jesus’s life, death, and resurrection. The conversation winds its way from the joys of adopting small children to the hope we find at the end of Jeremiah. Plus, Russ helps us prepare for Holy Week with a look at the events in real time.

Confession & Assurance:
Confession:
Most merciful God, we confess that we have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed, by what we have done, and by what we have left undone. We have not loved you with our whole heart; we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. We are truly sorry and we humbly repent. For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ, have mercy on us and forgive us; that we may delight in your will, and walk in your ways, to the glory of your Name. Amen. —from the Book of Common Prayer
Assurance:
Therefore, since we have been declared righteous by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. —Romans 5:1
