Ash Wednesday | Matthew 6:1–6, 16–21 | The Whiteboard Gospel Podcast with Seth Olson

Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent — a season of repentance, renewal, and returning to God. In this episode of the Whiteboard Gospel Podcast, we explore Jesus’ teaching from Matthew 6:1–6, 16–21, where he warns against spiritual performance and invites us into a hidden life (as in interior life) with God. What does it mean to: Pray in secret? Fast without show? Store up treasure in heaven? Return to God with all your heart? We also connect this Gospel reading with: • Joel 2:12–17 — “Return to me with all your heart” • Isaiah 58 — True fasting and justice • 2 Corinthians 5:20–6:10 — Be reconciled to God • Psalm 103 — Remember that you are dust Ash Wednesday is not about shame. It is about truth. It is about mercy. It is about reordering our loves.
