Meeting Jesus on the Road A Lenten Study

Take a meaningful walk with Jesus this Lent that invites reflection, inspires spiritual attentiveness, and opens your heart to the many forms discipleship can take in daily life.

In Meeting Jesus on the Road, readers are invited to journey alongside Christ through the Gospel stories that define his earthly path. Gathering a group of disciples around him, Jesus travelled the region, teaching, healing, and proclaiming that the reign of God is at hand. He met them all with compassion. He brought them hope. From the Jordan River to the hills of Galilee and beyond, Jesus calls us—like the first disciples—to follow, listen, question, and grow.

Designed as a spiritual journey from the First Sunday in Lent to Easter, this Lenten study offers a meaningful way to engage the season through Scripture, reflection, and walking. Throughout, readers will learn that faith is not a sedentary thing, but a relationship with God that grows and changes over a lifetime. With pastoral insight, authors Cynthia Campbell and Christine Coy Fohr thoughtfully guide readers along the road. In each chapter they include:

• A passage from Scripture and meaningful reflections that connect Jesus’ journey to your own life of faith
• Thought-provoking questions for small groups or personal reflection
• A "walking prompt" to deepen your Lenten practice through meditative walking

Whether used in a group setting or on your own, this study will help you hear Jesus’ call with fresh clarity and respond with renewed purpose. Lent isn’t just a season—it’s a sacred invitation to walk more closely with the One who leads us toward life.
