Even though we do it all the time, conversation is surprisingly tricky and high stakes. In fact, it is one of the most complex and uncertain of all human tasks.
— Alison Woods Brook, "Talk"
Lent 2026:
conversations with jesus
In this Lenten season, all the Eway generations (adults, youth, and kids) will explore the art of conversation and attend to the significance, challenge, and hope of what can happen when two or three people come together to talk.
We'll engage in conversations with each other in the preaching moment; we'll reflect on significant conversations in our past; and we will eavesdrop on conversations with Jesus as we journey with him and other companions in the Gospel of John.
We're going to slow down and be formed by key conversations that shape this particular gospel story and the faith of generations since.

Scripture & DIALOGUE Questions
All are invited to hear and discern the Word of God together in dialogue at Emmaus Way each week. While the communal and embodied experience of dialogical preaching can't quite be recreated outside of the Sunday gathering, follow along here with the scripture passages and dialogue questions that are guiding our weekly conversations.

From your perspective, who or what was changed because of this conversation and interaction? How?
