120. Ideas for Lent -- Jodi Rosser

<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>Do you give something up for Lent each year? I don’t know about you, but I don’t remember fasting for Lent while growing up. </p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>About five years ago, a friend recommended a book to me called <em>*<a href= "https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0310345871/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=552709-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=0310345871&linkId=98273cf514d24ffcf53e1c1e7e0244c4">Zip it</a></em> by Karen Ehman and it was about giving up unkind and hurtful words for Lent. I loved that idea because at the time, I was really struggling with keeping control of my words. After that, I decided I wanted to do something each year for Lent.</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>I am so excited to share with you some of the ideas over the years. One of my favorite books for Lent is *<em><a href= "https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0718076605/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=552709-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=0718076605&linkId=9415abcdab443ee29166de9894082db1">40 Days of Decrease</a></em> by Dr. Alicia Brit Chole. I am so excited because she is going to be on the podcast later this year. She is releasing a new book, so she was not able to come on before Lent, but she has generously offered to send two signed copies of her amazing book, *<em><a href= "https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0718076605/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=552709-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=0718076605&linkId=9415abcdab443ee29166de9894082db1">40 Days of Decrease</a>.</em> I am super excited for two people to win a copy of this book before Lent, because this book was a favorite for me! So on the podcast this week, I want to highlight *<em><a href= "https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0718076605/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=552709-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=0718076605&linkId=9415abcdab443ee29166de9894082db1">40 Days of Decrease</a></em> and share some of my favorite parts as well as shar
