New Everyday Monks Episode: Ash Wednesday + NEW MUSIC PREMIERE

Ash Wednesday isn’t about “giving stuff up” so you can feel spiritual. It’s about coming home.

In this week’s episode, we dig into the Church’s threefold rule of Lent—prayer, fasting, and almsgiving—and how it maps right onto Christ’s temptations in the wilderness. We also open up Isaiah 58 and the difference between false fasting and the kind of fast that actually turns us outward in love.

And here’s the bonus: we’re debuting a brand new single from Michael Templin and the Lone Star Sound — “Little Bit of Desert,” a hauntingly Lenten track about the tug in all of us to wander off—“There’s a little bit of desert in all of us”—and our deep need for the Shepherd to bring us back.

Join us for Ash Wednesday at St. Benedict’s Anglican Church in Rockwall, Texas: 8:00 AM & 7:00 PM.
