“Lent can be a season of waking. While we so often walk through life numbed by our schedules and scrolling, circumstances and struggles, during Lent we intentionally narrow our focus, eliminate distractions, and train our eyes back on the cross, waking up to the life-transforming gospel of Jesus Christ.”
