Answering Your Questions About Lent With Sarah Stonestreet

Listen to this episode on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.

The season of Lent begins today, and you may be wondering, “What is Lent and why does it matter?” I’m answering your questions about Lent this week with my colleague Maggie, including: What’s the purpose of fasting and how can I practice it? How can I observe Lent non-legalistically? What’s the significance of Ash Wednesday? ... and more! Whether you’ve observed Lent before or not, I think you’ll find this discussion insightful!

Work is one of the biggest ways we reflect and worship God. Many people have forgotten the value of work, and feel a sense of meaninglessness. This month, we will send you the book Full Time: Work and the Meaning of Life by David Bahnsen for a gift if any amount to the Colson Center. This book provides a biblical understanding of work, and why it is so meaningful. Go to colsoncenter.org/swfebruary to receive your copy.

The Strong Women podcast exists to display the beautifully diverse ways God invites and equips women to participate in His story. Strong Women is a listener-funded program from the Colson Center that is only available for free because it has already been paid for by hundreds of listeners like you. To join the community of women who make this program possible, visit colsoncenter.org/swmonthly today.

The Strong Women Podcast is a product of the Colson Center, which equips Christians to live out their faith with clarity, confidence, and courage in this cultural moment. Through commentaries, podcasts, videos, and more, we help Christians better understand what’s happening in the world, and champion what is true and good wherever God has called them.
