In this episode of Mojo in the Morning, host Kevin reflects on his Lenten journey, detailing the three sacrifices he made: abstaining from women (including physical intimacy), fasting until 6 p.m., and avoiding alcohol. He humorously acknowledges minor lapses—like eating salmon jerky during a trip and not being able to resist temptation—but emphasizes a deeper spiritual shift: increased emotional clarity, reduced reactivity, and better self-awareness. The conversation explores Catholic traditions, including confession, Mass attendance during vacations, and the challenges of being an altar server during Holy Week. Listeners weigh in with support and playful teasing, especially around Kevin’s upcoming return to normal life after Easter. The episode also features brief promotional segments for other podcasts like Mostly Human, On Purpose, and Playing Along, as well as a sponsor announcement for DFCU Financial’s $7,000 cashback contest.
Fasting until 6 p.m. helped Kevin become more mindful of his eating habits and portion control.
Lent provided unexpected emotional and spiritual growth, reducing impulsive reactions and increasing self-awareness.
Abstaining from alcohol and intimacy didn't just test discipline—it revealed deeper patterns in behavior and emotional regulation.
Spiritual practices like confession and attending Mass during vacation can be meaningful even for non-regular attendees.
The journey of Lent is less about perfection and more about personal transformation and intentionality.
Opening Teasers and Promos
The episode opens with promotional clips for several podcasts including Rorschach: Murder at City Hall, Mostly Human, On Purpose, and Playing Along, setting a media-heavy tone before transitioning to the main content.
Lenten Sacrifices and Catholic Upbringing
“I don't want to say evolve, but there has been a change spiritually. I think the way that I've handled certain situations, I wouldn't have handled if I was still operating how I was before.”
Memories of Holy Week and Altar Service
Kevin shares vivid memories of being an altar server during Holy Week, particularly the exhausting Stations of the Cross, and recalls personal experiences like attending Mass on vacation and encountering Mike Tirico.
Reflections on Discipline and Spiritual Growth
“I'm not as emotionally driven in certain instances. I could hear like how I say something is not be being in a controlled state.”
The Return to Normal: Easter Freedom
“I'm not clamoring. Like, I'm not raising. Oh, my God. As soon as the clock is six, I'm getting a drink.”
