Lent Items

Lenten observances begin tomorrow. Many Christians will gather for worship on Ash Wednesday to mark the beginning of the season and enter a period of renewed commitment. This season focuses on repentance, prayer, fasting, endurance, and discipleship to Jesus.

Baylor University asked me to write a brief article introducing Lent to those who are unfamiliar. For the fourth year running, I helped Baylor’s Truett Seminary put together a Lenten Devotional Guide. You can find the entries here. If you’d like to receive the daily reflections by email, sign up by clicking the floating yellow button in the lower right-hand corner. Lastly, the full guide can be viewed and downloaded here, in which I have written a welcome and introduction.

Each day, may we know and follow Christ.

Truett Seminary has compiled a devotional guide for the upcoming Lenten season. I contributed a couple of entries and assisted in the editorial process. The guide outlines daily readings from Matthew and offers reflections from students, staff, and faculty that are inspired by the prescribed Scripture text for that day. Entries variously include exposition, poetry, imaginative prose depictions, guided prayer, recommended practices, and questions for reflection.
