Exodus 90's Lent Challenge
Dates: Lent begins on Ash Wednesday, March 5th
Scripture: Jonah, Isaiah & The Gospels
Spiritual Guide: Jake Khym & Fr. Boniface Hicks, OSB
Our Lent Challenge is a spiritual exercise for men based on Christ's roadmap to freedom: prayer, asceticism, and fraternity. They are deeply rooted in the traditions of the early Church. Following the Exodus lifestyle, a fraternity of 6-8 men commits to a set structure of prayer and ascetic disciplines. These men are led by daily readings from the prophecies of Jonah, Isaiah, and The Gospels during the Lenten Season. These are paired with daily reflections to keep them on the road to freedom.
Through his Passion and Death for us on the Cross, Jesus completes the Exodus that Moses began. As Moses led the Israelites' Exodus to freedom from Pharaoh and the Idols of Egypt, Christ's Exodus on the Cross sets us free from sin and death. For freedom, Christ set us free.
This spiritual exercise not only promises men greater freedom but delivers it. Over 99% of men who have gone through Exodus 90 say they have experienced greater freedom because of it.
The team at Exodus 90 has purposefully crafted spiritual exercises that coincide with the liturgical calendar and help men live uncommon freedom throughout the year. Learn more about the Seasonal Exercises.
A man should make an Exodus because the Lord is calling him to uncommon freedom.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can Protestants do Lent?
Yes. All our programs are spiritual exercises for men based on prayer, asceticism, and fraternity and rooted in the traditions of the early Church. All men are welcome. More and more Protestant, Evangelical, and other non-Catholic, Christian participants continue to find the spiritual exercise to be very fruitful for their freedom and relationship with Christ every year.
Is this an addiction or recovery program?
Exodus 90 is not an addiction or recovery program. It is a lifestyle that orients us toward the uncommon freedom that the Lord gives us when we become who we truly are. It's an opportunity to conform one's whole life to that of Christ and become the renewal in the Church. This will inevitably bring forth abundant graces and greater freedom.
The Lord can do anything: he has used Exodus 90 to bring forth the grace of complete freedom to men who have been struggling with addictions for decades. Exodus 90 helps dispose us to accept the grace and freedom God wants to give us.
We highly recommend that those struggling with an addiction get the help they need from a licensed therapist. Check out CatholicTherapists.com.
