Join us this week on "Honest to God" as we dive deep into the Lenten season, exploring its true purpose beyond just "giving something up." We discuss the spiritual journey, the importance of fasting (and why it's not just about suffering!), and how the liturgical calendar aligns with our natural rhythms.
Join Patrick, Pierce, and AG as they share their personal experiences with Lent, including:
- Why Patrick's Byzantine Lenten experience was... unique (guacamole, anyone?).
- The age-old question: Why fish, but not meat? 🐟🥩
- The historical and scriptural roots of fasting, tracing it back over 5000 years! 📜
- The challenges and benefits of Exodus 90 (and Fiat 90 for women). 🥶
- Living liturgically: Feasting after fasting and integrating the liturgical year into daily life. 📅
- The power of confession and God's boundless mercy. 🙏
- Practical Lenten ideas for everyone!
We explore the idea that Lent isn't just a self-help program, but a profound opportunity for spiritual growth and connection with God. Key points covered:
- The importance of spiritual progress over instant perfection.
- Fasting as a means to draw closer to God, not just a challenge.
- The liturgical calendar and its connection to the natural world.
