Bert Montgomery

For this 500th episode of the Faithelement Podcast we reflect on their decade-long journey. We discuss the evolution and spontaneity of the podcast, comparing past and present experiences. Bert provides a compelling discourse on Lent, focusing on Jesus’s defiance against Herod as depicted in Luke 13:31-35, and the metaphor of Jesus as a fierce mother hen protecting her chicks. The conversation delves into the themes of political defiance, religious responsibilities, and the transformative power of the gospel, both individually and systemically. We emphasize the need to untangle ourselves from distractions during Lent, advocating a protective, nurturing stance in faith, much like the image of Jesus as a mother hen. The episode underscores the importance of standing with the vulnerable and living out one’s faith in impactful ways.
