The Cartographers 39: Lent with Lore Ferguson Wilbert: On Bodies
The Church has historically practiced Lent as a period of preparation for Easter. What does it have to do with our bodies? Why does this matter to our spiritual lives?
Join me and Lore Ferguson Wilbert for a special four-week series on Lent.

Jesus sees women in their wholeness and we don’t experience that today often as women because we’re trying to fit into a man’s world. @lorewilbert on #findingholypodcast

ONE SMALL STEP
Practice caring for your body this week. Maybe you notice how you feel after a walk, or you enjoy a bath, or have tasty food and a glass of water. If we’re choosing to deny our bodies, we can also choose to care for them properly and honoring God through them.
For me, I’m taking daily walks and actually stretching after them! What about you?
Let me know how it goes — tag me on social media at @aahales or #findingholypodcast. I’d love to hear!
