In this week's Lent conversation, Discipleship Pastor Jennifer Davis sits down with Pastor Mike Day and Associate Pastor Melissa Perry to reflect on John 11 and the story of Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead. Together, they explore the raw, relatable cry of Mary and Martha — "Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died" — and how that same lament shows up in our own lives when faith meets hardship.

The conversation gets personal as each reflects on the tension between trusting God for the "big" things while struggling to believe He can intervene in situations that feel too far gone — and why Jesus wept even knowing the miracle He was about to perform. They also discuss the importance of sharing stories of God's faithfulness and how hearing what He has done in others' lives stirs hope for what He can do in ours.

Whether you're in a season of grief, wrestling with unanswered prayers, or tempted to put limits on what God can do, this episode offers honest reflection and resurrection hope as we continue the journey toward Easter.
