What I’ve Given Up for Lent (Apparently, Judgment… and a Few Choice Words)

What does it really mean to “give something up” for Lent? In this honest, humorous, and deeply reflective Sunday message, What I’ve Given Up for Lent (Apparently, Judgment… and a Few Choice Words), Rev. Sharon Renae explores the spiritual purpose behind Lent—not as deprivation, but as awareness. Moving beyond the tradition of giving up chocolate or cheese, Rev. Sharon invites us to look inward and consider what the ego may be holding onto. Drawing from the story of John the Baptist, the baptism of Jesus, and the 40 days in the wilderness, this message reframes Lent as an opportunity to release judgment, surrender ego, and step more fully into alignment with Divine love. With warmth and playful self-awareness, Rev. Sharon shares her own Lenten commitment to let go of judgment—and perhaps even a few colorful words—discovering that spiritual growth is less about perfection and more about conscious awareness. Through Scripture, metaphysical insight, and practical reflection, this message gently reminds us: Lent is not about what we lose. It’s about what we gain. 🌟 In this message: • The spiritual meaning of Lent and the number 40 • John 3:30 — “He must increase, but I must decrease” • Matthew 3:16–17 — The baptism of Jesus • Matthew 7:1 — “Judge not…” • Ego vs. Divine alignment • Awareness as spiritual practice • Releasing judgment and stepping into unconditional love • Becoming a clearer vessel for the Divine “What are you carrying that no longer serves you?” 🙏 Unity Spiritual Center Pflugerville 🌐 Website: https://unitypflugerville.org ▶️ YouTube Channel:    / @unityspiritpflugerville   📘 Facebook:   / unitypflugerville   — Join us in person every Sunday at 10:30 AM Unity Spiritual Center Pflugerville 16816 Cactus Blossom Dr Pflugerville, TX 78660
