this:&nbsp;&nbsp;\u201cWho dat who is tired, worn slap out, and frazzled?&nbsp;&nbsp;Come unto Me and I\u2019ll show you how to take a real, good rest, for my yoke is the big easy and my burden, it be light.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;(Matthew 11:28-30)&nbsp;&nbsp;Well, Cajun or not, Jesus is the namesake to king cake.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The journey of Lent begins this week.&nbsp;&nbsp;I define it as a wonderful journey of intentionality.&nbsp;&nbsp;When I thought of that trait, today\u2019s guest, Hunter Harris, came to mind.&nbsp;&nbsp;When I asked Hunter how I could pray for him this year, he said,&nbsp;<em>\u201cI feel like I have a lot to learn and I want my \u2018rest\u2019 to be my \u2018abiding\u2019 in Christ&#8230;\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/em>That\u2019s a good ask.&nbsp;&nbsp;That\u2019s intentionality.&nbsp;&nbsp;So join us at this table planted betwixt where Mardi Gras ends and Lent begins.&nbsp;&nbsp;Set a spell and rest your weary bones while we rustle up a slice of king cake; we saved you a seat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-3 is-cropped
