We Bring Each Other Back to Life

MTB Ep. 17: 5th Sunday of Lent (Cycle A)

What if coming back to life isn’t a miracle but a shared responsibility? This week’s readings explore how people move from despair to renewal through connection, intention, and support. Real transformation doesn’t happen alone. It happens when we show up for each other and help remove what’s holding someone back.

Have you ever noticed how easy it is to feel stuck, like you’ve hit a wall you can’t get past, or you’re carrying something you can’t quite put down? Sometimes it’s grief. Sometimes it’s burnout. Sometimes it’s just the slow weight of life piling up. And in those moments, it can feel like nothing is going to change.

Welcome to Mythologizing the Bible, where we’ll be taking a look at three readings from the Christian Bible through the lens of “sacred myth.”

As we reflect on the readings for the 5th Sunday of Lent, we’ll explore what it really means to come back to life; not through miracles, but through connection, intentional choices, and the way we show up for each other.

In this episode, we’re asking an honest question: What if “resurrection” isn’t about something supernatural happening to us, but about what we’re willing to do for ourselves (and for each other) when everything feels stuck, buried, or beyond repair?
