Hey friends and welcome to the Happy Hour with Jamie Ivy Podcasts.

I'm your host Jamie and I'm so glad you're here.

Each week on this show, I invite a friend to join me and we chat about the big things in life,

the little things in life and everything in between.

Hey friends, this show today, oh my gosh, I cared up.

I don't know, four or five times while recording the show.

Today, Alicia Britt-Troley joins me and we talk about Lent in a refreshing, refreshing way.

Alicia is a brilliant person who I could really sit and talk to all day long.

In fact, in the interview, she said,

do you care if I tell a story and I finally had to say,

at least she could do whatever you want.

You can say whatever you want because I just adore you.

She is so kind and so generous with her words and her encouragement today.

If you've ever wondered what is Lent and why does it matter and how can I even do it?

And what if I fail?

Today is the conversation for you.

Now, when I tell you in the conversation today, we talk a lot about Lent,

but we also talk about a book of Alicia's that doesn't even come out till the summer.

So don't worry, I'll remind you in the summer.

And then we also talk a little bit about two other books of hers.

So she has some great resources out there and I want to let you know,

we are going to link all of those in our show notes.
