There is a difference between being stagnant and living rooted, although they may look similar from the outside. You can live a busy life and still be stagnant; you can be quiet and "unimpressive", yet deeply rooted. 

Lent is an invitation to take stock of your heart and root down deeper.

In this episode, we explore what it means to live rooted (focused on digging into your life with intention) instead of reactive (focused on what others are doing and living with discontent) — especially during the Lenten season. Through Scripture, small spiritual practice, and practical encouragement, we talk about breaking cycles of spiritual apathy, embracing personal intentionality, and cultivating deep roots that sustain real life.

If you’ve felt disconnected from God, stuck in routine faith, or hungry for deeper spiritual growth, this conversation will help you approach Lent with intention, clarity, and hope.
