We Fasted for 40 Days as Newlyweds — Here's What It Revealed About Our Marriage

This Lent, Nathaniel and I decided to do something we'd never done together before: fast. No screens before 8AM or after 8PM. No sweets. No wine or beer. 40 days of intentionally slowing down, and it revealed more about us and our faith than we expected. In this video, we're sitting down to share the full recap: why we took Lent seriously this year, what we each gave up, what was hard, where we saw God show up, and how this season is going to shape the way we live going forward. For me, this was a return to something I'd lost. After leaving the Catholic church, a lot of liturgical traditions got left behind, including Lent. But coming into our new church community relit something: the value of slowing down, of discipline, of actually preparing your heart for what Resurrection means. Not as a ritual, but as a real reckoning with sin, sacrifice, and the gospel. We talk about what Lent actually is, why the 40 days matter, and what it looks like to build spiritual rhythms as a newly married couple. We close with a prayer and a word for anyone who needs it. Whether you grew up observing Lent, never have, or are somewhere in between, we think this conversation is for you. 🕊️ What We Fasted From: No screens before 8AM or after 8PM No sweets No wine or beer 📖 My Book — Ready, Set, Wait: If you're in a season of singleness, healing, or trying to figure out who you are before marriage, this book was written for you.
