Join us this Lenten season as we explore Ken Kniepmann's Lenten Healing: 40 Days to Set You Free From Sin together. Even if you don't have access to the book — or just don't feel like reading! — you are welcome to follow along with this podcast. Each week will feature a different member of the St. Peter Staff as we discuss the Sunday readings and a weekly theme drawn from a particular 'deadly sin' and a corresponding 'wound.' Get ready to dive deep and experience the healing of Christ!

Session 1:
Sloth and ConfusionJohn Livingston (Director of Evangelization & Adult Faith Formation) kicks off the series with an introductory episode on what this podcast is and what it isn't. Tune in to learn more about where this journey will take us — and how it connects to the Gospel reading for Ash Wednesday and its call to practice the three Lenten disciplines of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving.

Session 2:
Pride and AbandonmentThis week, John Livingston is joined by Fr. O'Toole (Pastor), and the two of them take on the first and arguably most "deadly" of the 'deadly sins': pride. They discuss how this sin is at the heart of the temptations Jesus faced in the desert — and how it's connected to the 'wound' of abandonment, too.

Session 3:
Envy and ShameListen in as John sits down with Amelia Shaw (Communications Coordinator) and Jonathan Struckhoff (Director of Youth Ministry) to discuss a 'deadly sin' we all deal with from time to time: envy. They discuss how this sin connects to the 'wound' of shame, along with how we see both of these dynamics at play in the Gospel story of the Transfiguration.

Anger and RejectionDiane Wagner (Director of Development & Administrative Services) and Mike Bucchino (Director of Finance & Facilities) discuss the 'deadly sin' of anger with John this week.
