‍

The 2026 Lenten Podcast: Let Love be Genuine will be a series of five short conversations between Suzanna Green, Director of Christian Formation, and various diocesan staff including Bishop Read. Each episode will discuss the theme of Let Love be Genuine and one verse from Romans 12:9-13. There will also be a Spanish version of this podcast hosted by Flor Saldivar, Director of Latino+Immigration Ministries.

The Spanish episodes will follow the same format and will be conversations between Flor and some of our diocesan staff including Bishop Cortiñas. Each podcast episode will be no longer than 20 minutes and will include a transcript and discussion guide suited for youth and adult Sunday School and Bible Study groups. While this series is premiering in the season of Lent, it can be used as a 5-week study at any time of year. If you have any questions about the series please reach out to Suzanna Green, Director of Christian Formation at formation@dwtx.org.
