Embrace Restraint: Preparing for Lent
by
Nancy Sleeth
We live exhausted lives full of carpool lines, emails, teleconferences, and social events. In the midst of it all, statistics show we’re less satisfied with our jobs, battle stress more, and often fail to nurture healthy home lives.
With the Lenten season only days away, Christians are making decisions about what to give up or to fast from. A 40-day season of sacrifice stands in stark contrast to the 24-7 always-on culture we live in today. As you prepare for this intentional time of contemplation and restraint, watch this unique presentation with Nancy Sleeth, challenging all of us to make family and faith a focal point while reclaiming the art of simple living.
