The Foundry Publishing announced the release of A Consuming Fire, a 2026 Lenten resource created to guide churches through a season of meaningful spiritual reflection and transformation.
Designed for pastors, youth ministry leaders, and children’s ministry leaders, A Consuming Fire provides a suite of print and downloadable resources to help congregations engage deeply in the Lenten journey.
The downloadable Pastor’s Resource includes:
- Weekly sermon outlines (first Sunday in Lent through Easter)
- Small group discussion questions (Ash Wednesday through Holy Week)
- Service outlines (Ash Wednesday, Maundy Thursday, and Good Friday)
- Graphics for PowerPoint and social media use
Rooted in the rich tradition of Lent and infused with fresh spiritual insight, A Consuming Fire equips pastors to lead their communities in repentance, renewal, and discipleship throughout the 40-day journey to Easter.
In addition to the resources for pastors, downloadable companion resources are available for youth and children’s ministries, along with individual devotionals. These devotionals invite congregants to walk through Lent personally and collectively, fostering a shared experience of spiritual growth across the church body.
“A Consuming Fire is more than a resource—it’s an invitation to allow God’s refining presence to shape us in the wilderness of Lent,” said Bonnie Perry, general editor of the Church of the Nazarene. “We want to encourage and equip pastors and churches not just to observe Lent but to be transformed by it.”
Whether you’re leading a large congregation or a small gathering of believers, A Consuming Fire offers flexibility, depth, and spiritual richness to meet the unique needs of every community during this Lenten season.
Devotional books can be purchased individually or in discounted packs of 10 for your faith community. A Consuming Fire resources are now available at TheFoundryPublishing.com.
