Growing up in a small Brethren church, Lent wasn’t something I was really aware of. If anything, I thought Lent was secular. People giving up chocolate so they could be healthier, before the deluge consumed over the Easter weekend.  In the Evangelical church, Lent gets mixed reactions. Some see it as a positive thing, a chance to explore spiritual disciplines, long since lost from Protestantism after the reformation, other still see it as a dangerous step towards legalism, ritual and penance in place of grace.
