Life–and Lent–are a Pilgrimage // The Gathering Place Podcast

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

In this episode, Jenna and Beth reflect on Lent as a pilgrimage, not a performance. Together they explore what it means to “settle in” with the Lord, to pray like you would meet a friend for coffee, and to allow God to love every part of your story...even the parts you’d rather throw away. From learning how to be still, to noticing tension in our bodies, to encountering the Father who comes to meet us in the mud, this conversation is an invitation to walk with Jesus right where you are. If you feel like you don’t know how to pray, if Lent feels confusing, or if you’re discovering that becoming who God made you to be is a lifelong journey, you’re in good company here. Wherever you are on the road, He is already with you.🕊️ Topics in this episode:• Lent as a pilgrimage of becoming• Why settling in is part of prayer• God’s gentleness with our humanity• The mercy that embraces our whole story• Learning to receive grace instead of performing🙏🏽 We’re praying for you this Lent.
