About This Episode

Lent has a way of catching us off guard. One moment we’re settling into the new year, and the next we’re being invited into forty days of prayer, sacrifice, and renewal. In this episode, Brendan Gotta sits down with author and homeschooling mom Colleen Pressprich to discuss her new book Lenten Prayers for Families and how families can enter more intentionally into the Lenten journey.

Colleen shares practical wisdom for cultivating the domestic church, praying with children of all ages, and creating rhythms of Scripture, reflection, and conversation in the home. Whether you are raising little ones, guiding teens, or simply seeking a deeper Lent yourself, this conversation offers encouragement and practical steps to live the season with greater purpose and peace.
