WEDNESDAY COFFEE Episode 12 || What’s the deal with Lent???

It’s Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent. For some, this may be a familiar season of the church year and for others it may be new or you’ve heard of someone giving up something for Lent but are wondering why? Tune in to today’s episode for a primer on Lent and Ash Wednesday.

If you have any questions about Lent or Ash Wednesday, email me at hello@cultivatingsanctuary.com.

I share from two books in this episode:

A brief paragraph about fasting from Spiritual Disciplines Handbook: Practices that Transform us by Adele Ahlberg Calhoun

and

“A Prayer for Lent” from To Light Their Way: A Collection of Prayers and Liturgies for Parents by @kaylacraig. You can also follow her on Instagram @liturgiesforparents.

Wednesday Coffee is a time dedicated to equipping you to be well amid life’s persistent disruptions. It includes some teaching, some reflection, and always a blessing for you at the end.
