Show Notes

Lent is a time for self-reflection and prayer. One way to do this is by exploring the life, actions, and teachings of Jesus. First Baptist Church of Athens Georgia offers these devotions for your Lenten journey. Using the book, Seeing with Jesus: Developing A Worldview Shaped by the Gospels, by Jack Glasgow, members from our church have prepared daily devotions offering insights, discoveries, and yes, sometimes questions. 
 
This week, our devotions correspond with Chapter 2, Seeing with His Disciples. Today’s devotion is from Jennifer Baxley. Instrumental music is performed by Alan McArthur playing a piano arrangement of Be Thou My Vision.
 
Jennifer Baxley mentions the Del McCoury Band singing the song “Recovering Pharisee.” Here’s a link to hear a recording of a live performance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aAE74tRHOK0
