Episode 76-Ash Wednesday Week 1 Clinging to the Cross

Tonight’s episode felt extra meaningful as we gathered on Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent, and opened our new study Clinging to the Cross by The Daily Grace Co. We slowed down and really talked through what Lent actually is, not just tradition but intention. We explored why believers historically set aside this season to reflect, repent, and refocus their hearts on Christ’s sacrifice. We also unpacked the meaning behind Ash Wednesday itself, the reminder of our humanity, our need for grace, and the beauty of turning back toward God with humility. The conversation was honest, thoughtful, and deeply encouraging as we worked through the purpose behind the practices instead of just the practices alone.April was missed tonight, but the table was still full of laughter, real questions, and heartfelt moments as we started this journey together. If you have ever wondered whether Lent matters, whether it is biblical, or how to approach it without getting lost in empty ritual, this episode is for you. We are not just talking about giving things up, we are talking about clinging to Christ. Come sit with us as we begin the season by grounding our hearts in truth, grace, and the cross that changes everything.
