This Lent, the church is invited into a shared discipleship journey centered on Fight Like Jesus: How Jesus Waged Peace Throughout Holy Week by Jason Porterfield. Together, we will walk through Jesus’ final week and reflect on Holy Week not simply as suffering endured, but as a deliberate, faithful way of waging peace in the face of fear, conflict, and injustice.
In a divided and anxious world, this study calls us back to the way of Jesus—marked by grace, courage, compassion, and reconciliation. Lent reminds us that transformation begins within, shaping how we live, love, and respond each day.
