Lent is not about giving up Chocolate

Episode Summary: “Lent Is Not About Giving Up Chocolate” In this episode, we explore the true purpose of Lent and move beyond the common idea that it’s simply about giving up sweets or small comforts. Lent is not a self-improvement program — it is a season of conversion. Through Scripture, the Church’s wisdom, and practical reflection, we unpack how fasting, prayer, and almsgiving work together to free us from disordered attachments and draw us closer to Christ. Rather than asking, “What should I give up?” this episode challenges listeners to ask, “What owns me?” Lent is ultimately about surrender, healing, and returning to the Father — so that Easter becomes not just a celebration on the calendar, but a true resurrection in the heart.
