Meditation from our Ash Wednesday service by Hadley Kifner

What if the most faithful thing you could do right now is let your heart break?

The prophet Book of Joel sounds an alarm in a world that feels chaotic and loud: return to God, rend your heart, and trust the One who is gracious and compassionate.

This is an invitation to hold urgency and surrender together—and to step forward marked not by shame, but by hope.
