Lenten Toolkit
Rooted in Love. Led by Jesus.

Welcome

This Lenten Toolkit has been prayerfully crafted to companion you through forty sacred days of returning.

Our hope is simple: to offer rhythms and resources that help you slow down, listen deeply, and walk more intentionally with Jesus.

At Seeds — and within our ROOTED in Jesus community — we believe Lent is not about spiritual performance. It is about remembrance. It is about coming home again to the truth that you are Beloved and making space for God’s WITHness to meet you right where you are.

Though each of us enters Lent with different longings and circumstances, at the root of every path is the same invitation:
to return and receive the Love of Jesus more deeply — and allow His Love to reshape our lives.

Some may be drawn toward deeper prayer.
Some toward surrender and simplicity.
Some toward compassion, justice, or courageous generosity.

However Jesus is beckoning you this season, we pray this toolkit serves as a gentle guide — not a burden, but a blessing.

May these forty days ROOT you more deeply in Christ,
awaken holy hunger,
and lead you into freedom, humility, and joy.

And may what begins in quiet surrender grow into embodied love — in your life, in our community, and in the world.

In the buttons below, you’ll see the various elements of this toolkit.

We are holding you close to our hearts as you make your way through this carefully crafted guide. Choose your own adventure: click on the buttons to get right to where you’d like to go or simply scroll and explore what captures your imagination.

Three Ways You Might Journey Through Lent This Year

Lent doesn’t have to be overwhelming.

It can be intentional and simple. Here are three possible paths — prayerfully consider which one (if any!) might be yours.

The Prayer Path — Deepening Intimacy
For those longing to draw closer to Jesus in daily rhythm.

• Commit to daily prayer using Lectio 365 (morning, noon, night).
• Walk through a 40-day devotional (Reflecting Easter, Loved to Life, or another companion).
• Set aside 20–30 minutes of quiet stillness each day.
• Join us weekly for Seeds prayer gatherings.

This path is about slowing down. Listening. Returning to your first love.

The Wilderness Path — Simplicity & Surrender
For those sensing an invitation to release, fast, or reorder their lives.

• Fast from something that numbs or distracts (scrolling, convenience, excess spending).
• Practice “holy inconvenience” — choose generosity over accumulation.
• Explore the Desert Fathers & Mothers journey through Lectio’s Lent series.
• Journal honestly about what surfaces in the quiet.

This path is about letting go — not to prove anything, but to make space.

The Compassion Path — Entering the Suffering of Christ
For those who feel drawn to sit more deeply with the Cross.

• Meditate on Jesus in Gethsemane (N.T. Wright reflection).
• Pray with Henri Nouwen’s Holy Week prayers.
• Read stories of costly faith (Extreme Devotion).
• Practice radical generosity and giving — intentionally support a cause or person each week.

This path is about staying near to Jesus — and allowing His Spirit to transform you.

You do not need to do all three. Lent is not about spiritual performance.

It is about returning. About remembering you are Beloved.
About walking WITH Jesus, who is LOVE and who is GOOD.

“The word ‘Lent’ comes from a Germanic word meaning ‘long’, descriptive of the season when dark nights grow shorter, days grow brighter and longer, and indications of new life become increasingly apparent.

Rhythms. Lent invites us to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with God, ourselves, and our neighbors. These simple rhythms are here to help you root your faith in the places you inhabit daily.” -Sacred Place | Website | Lent

“There is no doubt that Lent requires something of us. But there can be no feasting without fasting. Entering into the Lenten discipline of giving up something in order to create more space for prayer is the fast that prepares us to fully enjoy the Feast of the Resurrection.  My prayer is that part of your preparation would be to consider your own Lenten disciplines and bravely ask God, ‘How can I return to God with all my heart? Where have I gotten distracted or become distant from God as my first love? How can I return to wholeness, to the version of myself that is most authentic, true and holy?” -Ruth Haley Barton, founder of Transforming Center | Website

Lectio 365

I use this app daily – morning, noon and night. (It’s free!) It has been a gift to my journey with Jesus for years. I love how it guides me through the church calendar, with audio devotions that include Scripture, invitations to reflect, a global perspective, and ample quiet to BE with God. xo, -SDT

“With the Lectio 365 app you pray the Bible by meditating on the scriptures and asking God to speak through them. This is a sustainable and life-giving model of spiritual formation and prayer for ordinary people. Jesus and his early followers paused to pray three times a day, and you can join in with this ancient rhythm and pray like Jesus did, with three short prayer times each day, easily accessible on your phone.

The Desert Fathers and Mothers were early Christian pioneers, seeking God in the solitude of the Egyptian wilderness. Leaving behind the corruption of the world and compromise of the church, they therefore imitated Christ’s own time in the wilderness, to reclaim old standards of discipleship, sacrificing comfort to pursue holiness.

So this Lent, we’ve created a series that will help your whole church enter 40 days of prayer, simplicity, and spiritual renewal together, based on the Desert Fathers and Mothers, anchored by Lectio 365 and 24-7 Prayer.” -Lectio 365 Team | Lectio 365 app

This week we will explore how we move from fickle to faithful in our spiritual maturity; drawing inspiration from the Desert Fathers and Mothers who chose to welcome hardship to pursue single-hearted devotion to God. As the week continues we’ll leave the desert and follow Jesus in his journey towards the cross, and through the grave to offer new life to all. (There is no additional video to accompany this week’s resources.)

Circle of Grace, by Jan Richardson

Jan’s writing, art, and communications have been a treasured part of my journey. She sent the below note to her email list. Email jan@janrichardson.com to ask to be added to her email list or to connect further. xo, -Sarah DT

“This year, as Lent has begun, I have been thinking about the wildernesses we choose and the ones we do not. There is a difference between entering into a desert sojourn under our own power, as the just-baptized Jesus does when he sets out into his forty-day place, and finding ourselves in a wilderness due to circumstances beyond our making.

Still, as I think about that difference, what stays with me is the word that Jesus heard at his baptism, just before going into the wilderness: You are my Son, the Beloved (Luke 3:22, NRSV).

Beloved. With the waters of the Jordan still clinging to him, Jesus carries that word, that name, with him into the desert. As he encounters hunger, thirst, isolation, and everything else that meets him in the wilderness—including the devil—the knowledge of himself as the Beloved tells him nearly everything he needs to know about who he is and what he is here to do.

This season tells us that this is our name, too. Beloved is the message of Lent. In the wildernesses of our choosing and in those we did not seek, we are held in the love of Christ who seeks us out and goes with us always. In these days, what difference will we allow that knowledge to make—in our own life and in the life of the world? Where will we let Beloved lead us?

Today, I simply want to offer a blessing to help us remember that this is who we are.

In these days, may you know yourself held in the love that is with us always.” -Jan Richardson

Loved to Life, by Ann Voskamp

“Turn and gaze on the One who gave you His whole life―and you’ll find the love you’ve been looking for your whole life.

Loved to Life is a 40-Day VISUAL Pilgrimage with Jesus, through the book of John, that will:

• give you enlightening insights to calm your real worries
• ground your identity in who you really are, regardless of failures
• speak to your deepest doubts in a profoundly steadying way, and
• walk you in a fresh, intimate way with Jesus, Love Himself, that will be life-changing

You aren’t alone. God knows what it feels like to be where you are, where you have been. God Himself knows how hard this broken planet is―He’s walked where you’ve walked. But out of those hard, dusty roads emerges a way into the exhilarating life you’ve longed to fully experience.” -Ann Voskamp

Extreme Devotion, by Voice of the Martyrs

While not a typical “Lenten” resource, God has directed me to have these stories be interwoven into my Lenten journey this year. xo, -Sarah DT

Order your free copy

“365 Daily Devotional Stories of Ancient to Modern-Day Believers Who Sacrificed Everything for Christ. Following Christ has always come with a price, and many have paid the ultimate price. The Voice of the Martyrs, coauthors of the bestseller Jesus Freaks, brings you a daily devotional with 365 inspiring stories of courage, commitment, confession, and compassion.” -Voice of the Martyrs

Lectio 365

“Lord, in a world of hurry and haste, help me to still my soul, quiet my mind, and direct my heart towards you. In silence I remember that you are God, and this changes everything. Teach me the unforced, unhurried rhythms of your grace. Amen.”

“Maybe this Lent, I’m being invited to find space in my own mind, not instead of, but in spite of and in the middle of the busyness of life.”

“The desert father and mothers can seem a bit archaic, esoteric, and irrelevant to our modern life. But nothing could be further from the truth. Like us, they craved silence, solitude, and spirituality in a busy, noisy, confusing world. Dropping off grid in search of a simpler, truer life. Like many people today, they bravely endured years of persecution. Like many today, they were endeavoring to navigate an era in which Christianity was increasingly politicized by the superpower of their day. And like us, they were hungry for holiness, troubled by the compromised state of the church, which was looking less and less like Jesus the more power and prestige it gained.”

“The 40 days of Lent are a time to enter the wilderness with Christ, to push into prayer and to grow spiritually. What better companions could there possibly be for a spiritual journey than these ancient, desert-dwelling prayer warriors whose witness echoes down the ages and whose wisdom remains radical and relevant for us today?”

Montview Presbyterian

From a newsletter in 2025 from the pastors at Montview Presbyterian, a church in our neighborhood in Denver, CO. xo, -Sarah DT

“This week Ash Wednesday begins the holy season of Lent—a time of self-examination, sacrifice, and transformation. Lent calls us to turn away from what numbs and distracts us and toward what is real, holy, and true. It is not meant to be comfortable but to unsettle us, loosening our grip on convenience and control and leading us deeper into the way of Jesus.

Walter Brueggemann, in Discipleship That Inconveniences, reminds us that true discipleship disrupts the values of consumer capitalism. Following Jesus means embracing an alternative way of living—one that challenges the comfort of the status quo.

For centuries, Christians have observed Lent through prayer, almsgiving, and fasting. 

These practices remain vital but take on new urgency in our time. This year, we invite you to practice an Inconvenient Lent—embracing disciplines that disrupt habits of comfort and consumption.

Prayer: The Inconvenience of Stillness

In a world of over-scheduling and distraction, prayer is an act of resistance. Brueggemann reminds us that prayer and Sabbath-keeping interrupt our activity so we can receive the generosity of God. What if we carved out 30 minutes a day for stillness with God? What if we allowed prayer to disrupt our productivity, unsettle our assumptions, and reshape our desires? This Lent, let yourself be inconvenienced by prayer.

Almsgiving: The Inconvenience of Generosity

Almsgiving is about more than giving money—it is about redistributing power. In a system built on hoarding wealth, generosity is a countercultural act. Brueggemann critiques the economic structures that privilege the powerful at the expense of the vulnerable. Almsgiving invites us to disrupt that system—supporting organizations aiding the disenfranchised, funding reparations, or committing to ethical purchasing.

Fasting: The Inconvenience of Self-Restraint

Fasting is often associated with giving up meals, sugar, or coffee, but what if it meant something more? What if we fasted from economic convenience—choosing not to buy from corporations that exploit workers, destroy the environment, or fund oppression?

Brueggemann warns that our addiction to convenience blinds us to those whose labor sustains it. Imagine a fast that resists this impulse—refusing next-day shipping from corporate conglomerates in favor of supporting local businesses, boycotting brands profiting from injustice, or practicing an economic Sabbath by buying less altogether. Fasting from convenience teaches patience, forces us to slow down, and makes space for transformation.

… And we invite you into holy inconvenience this Lenten season — to let your life be interrupted by God’s call to justice, generosity, and spiritual depth. May we enter this season with open hands, ready to release our grip on comfort and embrace transformation.”

Reflecting Easter, by Stacy Voss

Stacy is a dear and beloved soul sister. This book is a FEAST. xo, -Sarah DT

“It’s impossible to reflect upon Easter and all the hardships Jesus endured without it reflecting in and through us. When we fail to spend time sitting in the agony of Christ’s death, we rob ourselves of the chance to more fully comprehend the extravagance of Jesus’ love and mercy. When we allow the tears to drench our cheeks, the profound riches of the most amazing gift that was ever given begins to penetrate our hearts deeper than ever before. Reflecting Easter provides 40 daily devotionals to guide you through the pain and betrayal of the crucifixion in ways that will enhance your understanding of the depths of Christ’s expression of love. Ten days of devotions are also included to help you more fully understand and embrace His gift in your daily life.” – Stacy Voss | Goodreads | Amazon 

Show Me the Way: Daily Lenten Readings, by Henri Nouwen

Nouwen invites readers to join him on a 40-day Lenten path as fellow pilgrims, from the solemn beginning of Ash Wednesday to the joyous climax of Easter. This inspirational “search for the way” speaks directly to the heart during this time of reflection and prayer. Amazon | Bookshop

Thirsting: Quenching Our Soul’s Deepest Desire, by Strahan Coleman 

“What if the longing we feel is a sign of God’s longing for us? Thirsting is a deeply spiritual exploration of a life-changing truth: only when we learn to live in the ache of our thirst instead of running from it will we know the joy of receiving God in every part of our lives. We may be able to imagine God saving us, using us, and even loving us—but wanting us? Pursuing us? Longing for us? And yet, as spiritual director Strahan Coleman teaches, God’s greatest desire is to commune with us in the depths of our souls.” Amazon | Bookshop

Beloved is Where We Begin

“If you would enter
into the wilderness,
do not begin
without a blessing.

Do not leave
without hearing
who you are:
Beloved,
named by the One
who has traveled this path
before you.

Do not go
without letting it echo
in your ears,
and if you find
it is hard
to let it into your heart,
do not despair.
That is what
this journey is for.

I cannot promise
this blessing will free you
from danger,
from fear,
from hunger
or thirst,
from the scorching
of sun
or the fall
of the night,

But I can tell you
that on this path
there will be help.

I can tell you
that on this way
there will be rest.

I can tell you
that you will know
the strange graces
that come to our aid
only on a road
such as this,
that fly to meet us
bearing comfort
and strength,
that come alongside us
for no other cause
than to lean themselves
toward our ear
and with their
curious insistence
whisper our name:

Beloved.
Beloved.
Beloved.”

NT Wright

“In this moving devotional, N.T. Wright contrasts the transfiguration of Jesus in glory with the transfiguration of sorrow in Gethsemane, where Jesus, overwhelmed by anguish, surrenders to God’s will and prepares to drink the “cup of God’s wrath.” Wright powerfully depicts the Garden as a moment of divine agony and obedience, revealing Jesus not as a distant demigod but as the suffering Son who feels the weight of evil converging upon him—through betrayal, brutality, and abandonment. This scene, Wright argues, is central to understanding Jesus’ identity and mission, and invites us to enter the story ourselves: to walk with Jesus in his suffering and behold the glory of God not only in light but also in pain.” | NT Wright Muses on Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane

St Augustine of Hippo 

“Lord Jesus, let me know myself and know You,
and desire nothing save only You.
Let me do everything for the sake of You.
Let me humble myself and exalt You.
Let me think of nothing except You.
Let me die to myself and live in You.
Let me accept whatever happens as from You.
Let me banish self and follow You, and ever desire to follow You.
Let me fly from myself and take refuge in You,
Let me be willing to obey for the sake of You.
Let me cling to nothing save only to You,
And let me be poor because of You.
Look upon me, that I may love You.
Call me that I may see You,
and forever enjoy You.
Amen.”

St Patrick

“I arise today
Through a mighty strength, the invocation of the Trinity,
Through belief in the threeness,
Through confession of the oneness
Of the Creator of Creation.
I arise today
Through God’s strength to pilot me:
God’s might to uphold me,
God’s wisdom to guide me,
God’s eye to look before me,
God’s ear to hear me,
God’s word to speak for me,
God’s hand to guard me.
Christ to shield me today…
Christ with me, Christ before me, Christ behind me,
Christ in me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
Christ on my right, Christ on my left,
Christ when I lie down, Christ when I sit down,
Christ when I arise,
Christ in the heart of every man who thinks of me,
Christ in the mouth of everyone who speaks of me,
Christ in every eye that sees me,
Christ in every ear that hears me.”

Strahan Coleman

“So why not behold God, look to Him, turn all your ache and desire toward his goodness and let Him have it? ‘Taste and see that the Lord is good,’ and see if He doesn’t offer you Himself in place of whatever you thought you needed. Give Him your loneliness, your doubt, ambition, your want for sex and lust, your anxieties and fears. Tell Him that beneath all of that your true want is Him… Let Him replace your endless scrolling, your numbing with food and alcohol, your giving away your heart and body to others. Pray your pain. Simply sit in it together in silence, allowing Him to be with you there. Let Him be what He promises to be, living waters that satisfy the very seat of you. Consecrate your heart, give it to Him. Set your body and mind aside for this ‘one thing,’ that in channeling up all this dis-ease within you it would welcome the presence of God and transform your very self.” –Thirsting

Trevor Hudson

“We seek to come close to Jesus, and feel with him, in his time of anguish and loss. Ignatius wants us not about the Passion; he wants us to enter it with Jesus. But we cannot manufacture this depth of compassion by our own efforts alone. So, as we seek to be with Jesus in his passion, Ignatius encourages us to ask God to grow our capacity to be compassionately present with his Son. This growth gradually happens as we die to our self-interest and egocentricity, to be more present to the Crucified One.

Both from doing the Third Week and from leading others through it, I have seen just how powerfully transformative this way of praying is. Although we cannot change what happened to Jesus, we can seek to be with him as he shares his experience of suffering and death with us. Often this is not easy. We feel his pain and are unable to do anything about it. Yet, as we stay with Jesus in prayer, he reveals his compassion-filled heart to us.

This encounter changes us. We realize how difficult it is to really be with someone who is suffering, especially when they are facing something we cannot change. Often there is little we can do and very little we can say. But through our intimacy with Jesus on the cross, his compassion flows into us and through us to others. The fruit grows.” – Seeking God: Finding Another Kind of Life with St. Ignatius and Dallas Willard

Walter Brueggemann 

“You are the God who feeds and nourishes.
You are the God who assures that we have more than enough,
and we do not doubt that
you satisfy the desire of every living thing.

Even in such an assurance, however,
we scramble for more food.
After we have filled all our baskets
with manna,
we seek a surplus-
enough education to plan ahead,
enough power to protect our supply,
enough oil to assure that protection.

And in the midst of that
comes your word,
that we share bread and feed the hungry,
even to the least and so to you.
We mostly keep our bread for ourselves,
our neighbors,
and our friends.

It does not occur to us often,
to feed our enemies,
to share your bounty with
those who threaten us.

We do not often remember to break vicious cycles
of hostility
by free bread,
by free water,
by free wine,
by free milk.
Until we remember that you are the giver of all good gifts,
ours to enjoy
ours to share.

Stir us by your spirit beyond fearful accumulation
toward outrageous generosity,
that giving bread to others
makes for peace,
that giving drink to others
makes for justice,
that giving and sharing opens the world
and assures abundance for all.

We pray this even as we ponder the gift of your Son
whom we ingest as bread and wine,
and tasting, find ourselves
forgiven and renewed.
Feed us till we want no more!”

–Prayers for a Privileged People

Wesleyan Tradition, A Covenant Prayer

“I am no longer my own, but yours. Put me to what you will, place me with whom you will. Put me
to doing, put me to suffering. Let me be put to work for you or set aside for you, Praised for you
or criticised for you. Let me be full, let me be empty. Let me have all things, let me have nothing.
I freely and fully surrender all things to your glory and service. And now, O wonderful and holy
God, Creator, Redeemer, and Sustainer, you are mine, and I am yours. So be it.
And the covenant which I have made on earth, let it also be made in heaven.
Amen.”

Take a PoP (Place of Pause)

… practicing peace, together, in daily life.

We are so glad you’ve paused, dear friend, to take a beat and a breath to BE still. Fill up with peace so you can consider what is your part in the human trafficking fight and navigate whatever might be difficult in your life today with strength and courage.

Be Still (surrender)
Yes, pause here.
Especially pause here,
as you explore a global reality
– human trafficking – that is
full of great pain and injustice.

Even here, there is hope.
And, here, there is peace.

Be free of any burden to carry, to worry,
to do anything other than be.
Be, breathe.
Exhale, let go.

Take a few moments to be guided further through a reading and a time to quiet your mind and heart, in which you will hear a story about a beloved and heroic soul sister in Nepal, Devisara Hannah Badi. In this PoP, catch a glimpse of the dignity and courage in life today, even after – and within – unimaginable hardship.

We have a hunch you will be greatly inspired, learn something new, and be ignited to fan the flame of your story when you hear Hannah’s story. Read or Watch this PoP, which is an excerpt from Soulfully Ablaze: A 40-Day Journey to Light Up Your Life (And the World). (Hannah is the activist and lead storyteller in the book, No Longer Untouchable: A Story of Human Trafficking, Heroism, and Hope – if you don’t yet have a copy, grab yours right here.)
