In these 40 days of Lent I’ve been reading along with many of my Cornerstone friends through a common text of scripture by way of the Asbury Reader – titled Two Stories. It’s a remarkable journey we have been on so far. These words are finding their ways into our lives, showing up in our conversations, shaping our thoughts. I’ve seen a surprising surge of interest in this new way of reading scripture together in community (which is really an ancient spiritual practice).

Along the way JD Walt – Sr. Editor of the Common Text Project and Dean of the Chapel at Asbury Seminary – is offering us some short teaching video clips that compliment our readings. This one in particular captured me this morning and wanted to share it with you all.

Today we are only on day 14 of 40 so come and read with us. You can pick up a hard copy of the reader at or Cornerstone bookstore or just read daily at asburyreader.com. Come follow Him with us.
