Grace, Grit & Grounds: Espresso Shot: Shrove Tuesday
from Grace, Grit & Grounds · host kyberhawk
Most of us have heard of Mardi Gras. Fewer of us have heard of Shrove Tuesday. While serving in Belgium, a British friend introduced me to something called “Pancake Day.” At first, I thought it was just a fun tradition. Turns out, it runs deep in church history. In this episode, we explore the roots of Shrove Tuesday—where it came from, what “shrove” actually means, and how this day was meant to prepare believers for the season of Lent. Long before it became about celebration, it was about confession. Before the fast began, hearts were examined. Before the simplicity, repentance. You don’t have to be liturgical to appreciate rhythm. Sometimes the old paths still have something to teach us. If you’re looking for a simple way to prepare your heart for Lent, maybe it starts with pancakes… and an honest prayer. Grace. Grit.

What this episode covers
Before Lent begins, there was Shrove Tuesday. In this quick episode, I share how a British friend introduced me to “Pancake Day” while I was serving in Belgium, and how I discovered it runs much deeper than syrup and stacks. We explore the history of Shrove Tuesday, what “shrove” actually means, and why this day was originally about confession, reflection, and preparing the heart. You don’t have to follow a liturgical calendar to learn from the rhythm of it. Sometimes the old ways still have something to teach us. Grace. Grit. Grounds.
