’Why have you forsaken me?’ | Holy Week Bonus Episode | Mark 15

Bonus Episode! 

Happy Holy Week Everyone

As the Lenten journey comes to its fruition this week, we turn to Mark 15. Jesus is on the cross and cries out to God - 'My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?'

Is this a cry of abandonment? Is this meant to be something utterly the opposite? What can this passage teach us about suffering and transformation?

This is a long one...but take notes! It's a good one.

This podcast is a partnership between 40 Orchards and Processing Faith…

40 Orchards, with Steph and Lisa, invites people to wrestle through Biblical texts using the ancient Jewish concepts of midrash.

In a 40 Orchards study, every question is safe, everyone is welcome, and every voice is valued. We believe there’s room for all of us. No person and no question is off limits—because we know that together we can expand each other’s experience of what is sacred, whole, and good. 

You can learn more about 40 Orchards and sign-up for a study by going to 40orchards.org.

Processing Faith is a space created by Jason Steffenhagen for people to do exactly that…process their faith. It’s not one thing…but more like a good recipe. It’s like 1 part pastoral care, 1 part theological exploration, and 1 part wrestling with all the questions. 

You can learn more about Processing Faith and sign-up for a free 45 min session by going to processingfaith.com.
