Saints of Lent Series

During Lent, we as Christians are called to more. It is a time to challenge our usual routines and to refocus on what we are called to be - followers of Christ. Lent goes from Ash Wednesday to Easter - a 40-day observation on our lives. Stepping back and examining our focus of life whether work, family, sports, social media, or the distractions of everyday life, we can see how our focus is not on God alone.

So this Lent, I encourage you to follow along each day with some simple reflections on those who have gone before us marked in the sign of faith. We aren't talking about Aunt Louise in your family, but more so the saints and martyrs who put their faith first. They set their eyes on the prize of eternal glory with God.
