Today, I will be diving into the importance of Lent and how that important time period can shape our walk with the Lord and grow us in deeper love for those around us.

In Matthew 6, we get to see what God calls us to when considering fasting, prayer, and giving. We will also look at the Lord's prayer to help us have a deeper understanding of these concepts.

If you enjoy listening to Real Refreshment, we've got another great show that you'll want to add to your playlist. Let us introduce you to Team Us!For husband and wife Ted and Ashleigh Slater, the 1987 film The Princess Bride is frequently playing in their home. For them, one of the most memorable characters is Inigo Montoya. His patience and persistence as he hunts for the six-fingered man remind them that it takes time to execute a “death wish.” But what does a “death wish” have to do with marriage?While they joined a new team when they promised, “I do,” that doesn’t mean the unity and cooperation is going to be easy or automatic. It takes time after marriage to make that transition from “me” to “us.”One reason is that all of us come to marriage with ingrained habits. These are the things that steal joy from our relationship, keep us from walking in unity and practicing cooperation, and can even weaken our resolve to stay committed.Continue Listening to Team Us for 3 Ways to Practice Patience, Persistence, and Grace:Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/4019Wwi Spotify: https://spoti.fi/403J3Io LifeAudio: https://www.lifeaudio.com/team-us/why-becoming-a-team-takes-time-and-thats-okay Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

CHILL OUT: pt 2. Today, we will dive into the H and I. In Mark 6:31 God calls us to "Hit the Breaks" on our lives and lean into the fact that Jesus sees us, knows us, and wants to invite us to trade those moments of intensity with moments of rest. Also in Hebrew 12:1-3, he tells us to ignore the competition and the opposition. We often get distracted by the race of others around us, thinking that ours should be the same as theirs. The fact is that it is not and never will be. That is a gift from the Lord so that we can strip off the comparison that we are always falling into. Come along with us today as we dive deeper into allowing ourselves to hit the breaks and ignore the competition.
