St. Michael's Lent with Jamie Baxter

In this episode of the Gotta Be Saints Podcast, I’m joined by Jamie Baxter, founder of Exodus 90, to explore St. Michael’s Lent — a centuries-old devotion practiced by St. Francis of Assisi that still speaks powerfully to the challenges of our time.

We talk about why this devotion, which runs from the Feast of the Assumption to the Feast of the Archangels, is worth reviving, and how disciplines like night vigils, fasting, and fraternity can help men (and women!) grow in freedom and love of God.

Along the way, Jamie shares:

• The history of St. Michael’s Lent and St. Francis’ connection to it
• How Padre Pio and other saints embraced this devotion
• Why night vigils are such a powerful form of prayer
• The difference between Christian asceticism and stoicism
• How small, faithful practices can transform your spiritual life
• An unexpected connection between PGA champion Scottie Scheffler and the spiritual life

Whether you’re new to fasting and prayer or looking to deepen your walk with the Lord, this conversation will inspire you to make space for God and engage in the spiritual battle with confidence.
