Let's Learn the Truth from Truth Himself // Ash Wednesday Lent Kickoff with Blessed is She

from The Gathering Place, a Podcast from Blessed is She · host Blessed is She

In this conversation, Jenna and Beth share a simple, honest look at Lent, not as something to “get right,” but as a season to let Jesus meet us right where we are. They talk about the quiet privilege of knowing Him, why healing takes time, and how the Lord often invites us into small, gentle changes (like slowing down or learning to be still). If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by Lent, unsure what to give up, or like you’re carrying a lot into prayer… this conversation is for you.Together they reflect on:• why forgiveness and healing are both gifts we need• how self-denial actually leads to freedom and love• what it means to bring your whole, imperfect heart to Jesus• the question He asks each of us: “Who do you say that I am?”• how prayer can be less about doing and more about receivingFeaturing reflections inspired by Debbie Herbeck and her Lent devotional, and encouragement from the heart of the Blessed Is She community. Whether your Lent feels peaceful, messy, or somewhere in between, you’re welcome here. Come as you are. Jesus isn’t asking for perfection, just your presence.If you want to journey through Lent with us, learn more here: blessedisshe.net/lentYou’re not alone. 💛Grab your Blessed is She Lenten devotional.Join our Blessed is She Member Community.
