#35: Your Jordans Can Handle Confetti — Why Your Heart Needs Lent

from Life Out Loud · host Desireé Melfi Bozzo

Send me a text – I always love hearing from you! ✨Ever notice how faith slips from alive to automatic without a dramatic moment or decision? Desireé shines a light on that quiet drift and offers a clear way back, using Joel 2:12–13 and Psalm 51:10 as a practical map.We talk about why hearts grow tired, how routine replaces wonder, and why Lent is less about gritting our teeth and more about making space for grace. We explore the difference between performing for God and returning to God with our whole, imperfect selves.Desireé shares three nightly questions that spark awareness and intimacy with God:Where did I sense Him today?Where did I feel distant?What stirred my heart?These prompts pair with a simple, powerful prayer that becomes a handrail when life shakes us. You’ll also walk through a vivid, guided reflection.If your days feel full but your soul feels thin, this conversation offers relief and direction. Expect practical spiritual habits, honest talk about busyness, and a renewed sense that God is gracious, compassionate, and near.We are throwing around encouragement like confetti once again... and possibly getting it all over your J's!
