Ever felt like your spiritual practices are more about following rules than finding real meaning? In this episode of 'Encounter Recovery Ministries', Rick Peterson takes a closer look at the Lenten season and the difference between genuine Christian faith and empty rituals. Drawing on the apostle Paul's teachings to the Colossians, Rick explains how some ancient practices, much like those in modern Lent, were more about self-made rules than true devotion. But don't worry, it's not all doom and gloom.

He encourages listeners to move beyond just ticking off religious boxes and instead embrace a faith that's rooted in Christ's work and the Holy Spirit's guidance.
