Bravery or conformity...which way do you live your Christian life? Bishop Gruss' Week 5 Lent 2026 Reflection

Bravery or conformity...which way do you live your Christian life? In this powerful Lenten reflection, you’ll hear a challenge most Christians avoid: -It’s not enough to be kind -It’s not enough to believe -The mission isn’t complete until we ask: Do you believe? What’s really holding us back? -Conformity to culture -Staying in our comfort zones -Hiding our faith -Keeping the Gospel to ourselves And one line you won’t forget: “The opposite of bravery is not cowardice… but conformity.” Watch this before Holy Week begins. It might change how you live your faith. Watch now After you watch, continue the journey: Watch more Lenten reflections by Bishop Gruss here: https://saginaw.org/bishop-gruss-lenten-messages
