10) Practices for Building Spiritual Resilience This Lent
Leaders should view Lent as a time for self-examination and spiritual health. Connecting with past messages can help sustain engagement. Jesus’s experience of falling and rising illustrates that vulnerability is a shared human experience, supported by scripture like Psalm 73:2.
We encourage everyone to seek moments of gratitude, as it’s easy to overlook everyday joys amid larger goals. Simple pleasures, like nature’s beauty and good news, can uplift our spirits.
