Empty to Be Filled: A Better Rhythm for Lent

This Sunday at Dorchester Family Church, Ben Martin explores the true gift of Lent — not as empty ritual, but as a life-giving invitation.In a world full of noise, complexity, restlessness and speed, how do we create space for God? From Ash Wednesday to Easter, Lent offers us 40 days to empty ourselves of what distracts and overwhelms — and to be refilled with silence, simplicity, Sabbath and a slower, Jesus-centred rhythm.Drawing on Scripture, the example of Jesus, and wisdom from voices like C. S. Lewis and John Wesley, this message invites us to rediscover spiritual disciplines not as “dead works”, but as anchors for a restless age.✨ What might God want to empty from your life this Lent?✨ What could He fill you with instead?Listen now and journey with us towards the light of Resurrection Sunday.🔗 More episodes: https://dfc.org.uk/podcasts
