This Ash Wednesday is the beginning of Lent and also the beginning of a new Lenten sermon series called “Good Enough”. This series is based upon the newly released book by the author Kate Bowler of the same name, with 40 devotions helping to put language to humanity’s struggle that life is not as it should be, but still must be lived faithfully. Part of being human is wrestling with all of the things that are broken in our world and that cannot be fixed, yet also tending to the things that we can do something about. We are only human, but also made in the image of God. This Lent, can we let ‘good enough’ be good enough?
Ash Wednesday kicks off this series by considering our culture’s (and our religion’s) drive towards perfection, and asks us to genuinely consider fasting from that; giving that up as a way to grow closer to God and to what God truly wants for us. Join us in this journey in the coming weeks.
