Mid-Lent Check-In: When Your Lenten Plan Falls Apart

How is your Lent actually going?

In this honest mid-Lent check-in, Taylor Kemp and Dr. Scott Hefelfinger reflect on what happens when sickness, stress, family life, and temptation derail your carefully crafted Lenten commitments. From giving up sweets and alcohol to family prayer and creative almsgiving, they share practical wisdom on perseverance, flexibility, and beginning again.

They also tackle common questions:

Are almsgiving and tithing the same thing?

How do you structure a Catholic men’s group?

Are the three pillars of Lent equal in weight?

If you’ve struggled, compromised, or feel like you need a reset, this episode is your encouragement: don’t give up. Begin again. Charity is the measure.

This is the Practicing Catholic Podcast, where we explore the often arduous—but always fruitful—practice of holiness in everyday life.
