46. Steps Through Lent: Living Under God’s Loving Gaze

In this solo episode of The Being Formed Podcast, Adam offers a reflective teaching for the Lenten journey. Drawing from his own experience in ministry, his pilgrimage on the Camino de Santiago, and the deep wisdom of Psalm 139, Adam explores what it means to walk faithfully, not perfectly, one step at a time.

This is not an episode about spiritual achievement or getting Lent “right.”
It’s an invitation to live under the loving gaze of God, where formation happens not through pressure, but through consent.

Along the way, Adam reflects on:

• Letting go of control and learning to consent to reality

• Why God’s knowing comes before our clarity

• How Psalm 139 reshapes the way we understand spiritual growth

• Why small, faithful steps are often the most transformative

Inspired by insights from Jacques Philippe's Interior Freedom, this episode challenges the notion that peace comes from control and instead invites listeners to a deeper trust in God’s nearness and patience.

This episode is especially suited for listening during a walk, a quiet morning, or a moment of stillness.
