What's So Great About Lent? A Conversation With Domenic Scarcella

For Domenic Scarcella, Lent is about “filling up, not giving up.” We talk here about what that means, about how technology makes it harder to have the spaces in our lives where we can experience the divine, and what we can do about it.

We also discuss the meaning of “faith”, and address the question: “Do the means perhaps justify the ends?”

We even grumble a little about “kids these days.”

You can find Domenic’s writing and discussions on his Substack.

His book—which I highly recommend—is “Good Neighbor, Bad Citizen.

Here is the video of our conversation:
