Real-Life Reflections and Thoughts

As Lent begins, we’re called to reflect on what draws us closer to God—and what distracts us from Him. In this week’s reflection, Dianne shares her own struggle with modern distractions and how naming them can help us focus on spiritual growth during the Lenten season.
