In a world that prizes the unblemished and discards the damaged, the ancient Japanese art of Kintsugi—mending broken pottery with gold—offers a different way of seeing. Rather than hiding cracks or pretending wholeness, Kintsugi honors the break as part of the story. This Lent, we are invited to notice our own fractures and to trust that God’s grace meets us not in spite of them, but precisely within them.
Across this season, our worship and shared practices trace a journey from the Shock of the Break on Ash Wednesday to the Glorified Scars of Easter. We name the places where life feels fractured—within ourselves, our relationships, and our world—and hear the good news that these wounds do not disqualify us from being whole. Through the living water of truth and the breath of the Spirit, what is broken is not erased, but gathered, mended, and transformed.
This is not a journey of quick fixes or returning to who we once were. It is a journey toward becoming something new. As we walk the path of Lent and Holy Week, we learn to see our stories differently—not as failures to be hidden, but as vessels being shaped. In the hands of the Divine Mender, the gold of God’s love becomes the strongest part of our story, carrying us all the way into the joy of Easter.
Lent Devotional Booklet
The Gold in the Fracture devotional booklet is a take-home companion to our Lent and Easter worship series. It is not a study guide and not an assignment—it is an invitation. The booklet is designed to meet you where you are and to support reflection, prayer, and conversation throughout the season.
Each week follows a consistent, gentle rhythm:
-
Scripture connected to the coming Sunday
-
Short theological reflections rooted in the season’s theme
-
Multi-generational questions suitable for personal journaling, family conversation, or small groups
-
Prayer for the week
-
Music and optional embodied practices that help move faith from our heads into our lives
Spotify Playlist
Music is part of this Lenten journey, too. The Gold in the Fracture Spotify playlist is a curated companion to the devotional and worship series, offering space for reflection, prayer, and breath throughout the week. These songs echo the themes of fracture, honesty, resilience, and hope—meant to be listened to while walking, journaling, driving, or simply sitting still. There’s no right way to use it; let the music meet you where you are and carry the season with you beyond Sunday.
