Lent isn't Just for Easter
Featuring Mark Hart
What’s the purpose of Lent? It’s a simple question, and one Mark Hart answers in a very honest and straightforward way: Lent prepares us for heaven. If we view Lent merely as a spiritual boot camp to get ready for Easter, we will miss out on all the season has to offer. However, by approaching Lent with a broader perspective, we'll realize that these forty days can prepare us not only for the rest of our lives but also for the joys of heaven.
Pray through the Desert
“Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness…”
—Matthew 4:1
