Lent, Fasting, and Growing Closer to God
from Cindy Grasso Podcast · host Cindy Grasso
What is Lent, and why do some Christians observe it? What does fasting really mean, and how does it impact your faith? In this episode, Pastor Cindy Grosso unpacks the significance of Lent as a season of reflection, repentance, and preparation for Easter. She explores the origins of Lent, the meaning behind Ash Wednesday, and how fasting is a powerful spiritual practice when done with the right heart. Drawing from Jesus’ teachings in Matthew 6 and His own 40-day fast in the wilderness, Cindy encourages listeners to approach fasting as a way to grow closer to God, rather than as a religious obligation.
