0:00.0	Hey friends, I'm Jess Connolly. I'm an author, a coach, a Bible teacher, and a local church leader,
0:07.1	and I love talking to real people who know what it means to have full lives, but also want to walk in abundance.
0:14.7	This podcast is for you. It's not my podcast. It's ours. It's for people who crave lighthearted conversations and deeply
0:23.5	spiritual truth. It's for people who are busy, tired, waiting, growing, dreaming, working,
0:30.4	or praying about what's next. Wherever you're listening from, if it's quiet, mundane, or busy,
0:38.9	I am praying for you and I'm so glad you're here. Let's go.
0:45.3	Some of us are pros at Lent. We have been celebrating for years and it's an essential part

1:49.1	All right, friends, today we are talking about Lent. So to kick off, I want to share just a little
1:56.4	bit of the actual history, the historical history of Lent.
2:01.2	So some of you might be in church traditions where you've been celebrating it for years.
2:06.4	Some of you might just see people posting about it on Instagram, but nobody celebrates it in
2:10.2	your church and you're confused about what it is and why we celebrate it.
2:15.1	And wherever you fall, to be honest, I have had many conversations about
