In this episode of Formed for Faithfulness, we reflect on Luke 23 and Colossians 1, considering Christ’s mercy toward the thief on the cross and His ongoing presence among the imprisoned and the overlooked. Through Scripture, reflection, and prayer, we’re reminded that God’s message of freedom often flourishes in confinement—and that the Church is called to bring hope, compassion, and justice to those behind bars. With readings from Luke 23, Luke 1, and Colossians 1, we celebrate the God who reconciles all things through the peace of Christ.

Nuance's Formed for Faithfulness is a weekly liturgy to encourage all of us to be faithful to Christ in the public square. Join Case Thorp and other guests as they follow the Church calendar through the reading of Scripture, prayer, and short reflections on faith in all facets of public life.
