From Austin Seminary: "Leaning into Lent: Week 3"

What makes the Season of Lent meaningful to you? Each Monday (beginning March 7) during the Season of Lent we will offer in this space a brief video featuring Austin Seminary graduates sharing reflections and practices that help make Lent resonate for them. It is our hope that their reflections on this liturgical season will enhance your personal approach to Lent.
