Ash Wednesday is almost here, and for a lot of us Lent used to mean one thing: fish sandwiches and people with ashes on their foreheads. In this episode, Cody and Jesse unpack how Lent is actually an invitation to face suffering instead of numbing it, powering through it, or pretending we are fine. They wrestle with the idea of an “all-suffering God” and what it means to follow a Christ who meets us in grief, hunger, and weakness. From giving up sugar and coffee to choosing the slow lane on purpose, this conversation gets painfully practical about how fasting creates space for something deeper. If you have ever avoided pain or wondered why it matters, this one might change how you walk toward Easter.
