Practicing Lent: Process, Not Transaction

Lent often begins with the question, “What are you giving up?” But Lent is not about earning God’s love or proving spiritual worth. In this week’s Dulin Weekly Podcast, Pastor James reflects on Lent as a season of practice — subtractive or additive — that helps us notice our dependencies, form new habits, and open ourselves to grace. Lent is not transactional; it is transformational. It is the slow work of being shaped by God, one small, faithful step at a time.
