Life is full of crossroads—moments when our choices shape who we become. In this series, we’ll explore biblical figures who stood at defining intersections and chose the way of faith. Join us as we discover how God meets us at our crossroads and leads us in the new year.

The season of Lent is a time for us to spend intentional time with God in the "Collective Pause," a time of prayer to be transparent and honest with God. During this season we recognize our nature for sin and our need for God's sustaining grace. These daily devotionals are designed to give us a helping hand as we aim to grow closer to God through the spiritual practices of reading scripture and prayer. As you progress through this Lenten Devotional, you will be invited to read a portion of scripture, read the reflections from your friends and neighbors, and spend time in prayer—in that Collective Pause. As you read the stories and testimonies from your brothers and sisters in Christ, may the Holy Spirit move within your soul. Use these devotionals as a guide through Lent and make the commitment to dedicate 5 minutes a day to reading scripture and prayer.

As we inch closer to the cross on Good Friday and the resurrection of our Savior on Easter Sunday, may the presence of the Holy Spirit provide you whatever you need to grow closer to God. Come and join us in the Collective Pause and journey through the Lenten season with us.
