Our Catholic faith teaches us to deny ourselves - a counter-cultural idea for our modern world. Janet & Bridgett discuss how the concept of dying to self can lead to spiritual fulfillment and make space for all that God has in store for our lives.

Baby Steps:
- Needing God is not a weakness - we are made to draw close to him!
- What does it mean to you when we say "deny yourself" or "offer it up"? If this is difficult for you, talk to God about it.
- No matter what you do this Lenten season, allow God to be with you and help you through it!
- If your Lenten journey has not been what you hoped, it's not too late for a reset.
