Kickstart Your Lent!

Lent is here, and if you’re feeling a little unprepared—or even overwhelmed—you’re not alone! That’s exactly why I invited my son Ambrose to join me for a live Lenten pep talk, and now I’m excited to share the replay with all of you.

This discussion was rich with insights on repentance, the role of John the Baptist, and the three key pillars of Lent—prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. We talked about why fasting isn’t just about giving things up, but about cultivating gratitude and making space for God. We also explored how we can approach Lenten sacrifices with love, rather than just white-knuckling our way through them.

If you’ve ever struggled with Lent feeling like a self-improvement project rather than a time of true spiritual renewal, I think this conversation will be a great encouragement.

You don’t have to do Lent perfectly; you just have to do it with love.

I hope you’ll take some time to listen and share your thoughts! And if you enjoy the conversation, I’d love for you to check out more of Ambrose’s work—he’s doing some really wonderful things over on his YouTube channel, so be sure to subscribe!
