Lenten Dialogue

  • DOWNTOWN CHURCH 2030 Gregg Street Columbia, SC 29201 United States (map)

What does evil actually look like? Not just in headlines or history books, but in our own hearts, systems, and everyday choices?

This Lenten season, as we journey through Mark's Gospel and watch Jesus confront spiritual forces, religious hypocrisy, and the ways evil masquerades as good intentions, we're creating space to wrestle with these questions together.

Over the Lenten season, we'll engage in honest, courageous dialogue about:

  • How we recognize evil when it wears the mask of righteousness

    Why communities fear what they can't control—and how that fear becomes destructive

  • How greed, exploitation, and cruelty operate in plain sight

  • Our own complicity and the path toward repentance


This isn't a lecture series. It's a dialogue—a space to bring your doubts, your questions, and your experiences. We'll learn from Mark, from each other, and from the hard work of examining our own hearts.

Jesus didn't avoid evil. He named it, confronted it, and ultimately defeated it through sacrifice rather than power. This Lent, let's follow his lead.

Join us Thursday mornings at 7:00 AM, February 26th - March 26th. Bring your coffee and bravery.
