Stepping Into Growth | First Sunday of Lent Reflection

About this episode

Dani Chahine reflects on personal growth through stepping out of comfort zones during Lent.

In his reflection for the First Sunday of Lent, Dani Chahine '27 connects his own experiences at Boston College to this Sunday's Gospel. As Dani reflects, through stepping out of his comfort zone at BC, he was able to grow in friendship, community, and faith. In a similar way, he asks us how we might be called to step out of our comfort zones this Lent and allow ourselves to trust God.
