ENOUGH | Lent 2026

Every year as a church we journey through the 40 days of Lent together. It has become a deeply meaningful experience for so many of us as we walk with Jesus and one another on a road of confession, examination, and responsiveness to the Holy Spirit. 

As a team we’ve been praying and asking Jesus to give us a theme for Lent that would speak specifically to our community and shine a light on things that are keeping us from experiencing fullness of life. As we listened and discerned, we sensed that there is refrain playing in many of our hearts and minds that speaks of pervasive scarcity; A message of fear and agitation that can be summarized in two words. Not Enough. Many of us step each day into a perception that, one way or another, we will be left unsatisfied, disappointed, and lacking something important. 

Not Enough Faith.

Not Enough Rest.

Not Enough Time.

Not Enough Love.

Not Enough Energy.

Not Enough Presence.

There is a heaviness in living with this lens, but Jesus offers us something better: a new way of being where the wilderness we assumed was a land of scarcity is transformed into a place of provision. 

This is why the theme for our Lent this year is Enough. This word speaks to genuine contentment and an abiding satisfaction that is not circumstantial. It is a declarative word that helps define reality and keeps us from exhausting ourselves by chasing the wind. 

Consider this your invitation into the pages that follow as we explore what it means to move from an assumption of ‘not enough’ to a posture of Enough, where limitations are not curses, and Jesus shows us his way into fullness of life.

FAST

An ancient practice of the people of God is fasting. Fasting is the act of abstaining from something in order to focus on Jesus instead. Every week, you will be invited to participate in a different fast to help detach from our surface wants and pay attention to what is bringing life and what is leading to death.

How you engage with these fasts are up to you. At the end of the week as your fast comes to a close, we invite you to reflect on how going without has allowed you to be with Jesus instead. How has life has been different while taking a break from satisfying your normal wants? Share with those who are journeying with you. Encourage one another along the way.
