Dear Friends,

"The best work you can do for anyone, is the work you do for yourself first"

It’s easy to think of self-improvement as a solo journey, but the truth is, when you invest in your own growth, it naturally benefits those around you. Whether you’ve stayed committed to your Lenten promises or found yourself slipping here and there (no judgment!), this season is still an open invitation to reflect, reset, and refocus.

Lent isn’t just about giving something up—it’s about making space for something greater. Maybe that looks like deepening your faith, working through personal challenges, or simply practicing more patience and kindness toward yourself. No matter where you are in this journey, remember: transformation doesn’t happen overnight, and perfection was never the goal.

So, take a moment today to check in with yourself. What are you being called to do? Where do you feel you can grow in your faith and relationship with Christ? How can you use this time to realign with what truly matters? The work you do within—strengthening your mindset, deepening your faith, and building better habits—will radiate outward in ways you may not even realize. There is always time. Start where you are. Keep moving forward.

Well wishes,

Tasia Blair (she/her)

Join us in April to hear from Rev. Jennifer Butler, founder of Faith in Public Life, who will share insights from her book, Who Stole My Bible?, which makes a biblical case for muti-racial democracy in the face of rising white Christian Nationalism and authoritarianism in the U.S. and around the world.
