March 16, 2025 Lead Pastor Dr. Dan Acker   “Lent is a time for discipline, for confession, for honesty, not because God is mean or fault- finding or finger-pointing but because he wants us to know the joy of being cleaned out, ready for all the good things he now has in store.” -NT Wright   "There is no coming to consciousness without pain.
