Ash Wednesday: Your Invitation to Discover the Beloved

Ash Wednesday: Your Invitation to Discover the Beloved

 

Join the Catalyst community as we anticipate the resurrection of Jesus by participating in Lent. Engage your heart and mind by reflecting on the Lenten content that will be released every Monday from now until Easter!

If you look at this kaleidoscope of colors and think, Ooh! Child’s play. I couldn’t agree with you more. Sometimes I giggle at God’s sense of humor.

In Mark 10:15, Jesus says, “Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it."

 

 

Every time I use thick crayons and periwinkle pens and pencils to study Scripture, I imagine the joy of Jesus.

For me, these colors reawaken the thrill of studying the Bible.

These playful instruments are powerful tools that I’ve been using to mine the opening chapter of the Gospel of John.

Coloring the Scripture is the method I’m using during Lent to create more white space for God.

Today marks the start of first day of Lent, my favorite season in the church calendar. As a child, I couldn't sleep for anticipation of Christmas morning.

 

As an adult, I stare at the ceiling wide-eyed in anticipation of Lent morning. 

This is a season set apart to prepare our hearts and minds for the resurrection of Christ at Easter.

 

You’re invited to join me and some incredible friends to read through the Gospel of John over the next 40 days. That requires reading less than a chapter of the Bible each day.
