Eyes on Easter: How Lent Points Us to Jesus | a Virtual Timeout

About this episode

This episode focuses on how Lent prepares us for Easter, emphasizing the importance of keeping Jesus at the center of our lives during this season.

As Laura Kelly Fanucci points out, "The purpose of Lent is to prepare us for Easter. But how often do we get caught up in Lent for Lent’s sake—as if it’s the Spiritual Olympics of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving?!" Begin your Lenten season with this virtual timeout of prayer & reflection on how Lent leads us to Easter joy by keeping our eyes on Jesus as the center of our lives. This virtual retreat was led by author, speaker, founder of Mothering Spirit, and friend of C21, Laura Kelly Fanucci.
