“It’s Ash Wednesday. I’m here to receive ashes and deny Christ.”

This is what I wrote in my journal at the start of Lent, two years ago.

For this special Lent episode I have woven together a collection of poems and prayers and letters and stories I have written over half a dozen years as I have tried to make sense of my relationship with Jesus and the end of my Christianity.

All together they tell a story about two Ash Wednesdays and the years in between.

I have created a free ebook download to accompany this episode, with all the poems and prayers and a few photos too. Click here to download “Giving Up for Lent.“
