The 40 day Lent challenge is a 40 Day Fight from Delay the Decay in Windsor, Colorado. It starts on Ash Wednesday and runs to Holy Saturday, the day before Easter. From Ash Wednesday to Holy Saturday you set targets in all five life domains (Spiritual, Relational, Physical, Mental and Financial) and fight to hit them every day, with a devotional by text and email and a community of other fighters.
40 days is a Biblical time frame that allows us to connect with Jesus in a unique way. It’s the length of time He was tempted and fasted in the desert. It’s long enough to develop new habits and set the foundation for ongoing practices, but it’s short enough to feel like something we can accomplish.
New to the Fight? See how our Spiritual, Relational, Physical, Mental and Financial challenge works.
Sign-up stays open until three days after it starts. The other four fights: New Year starts the first Monday of each year, Summer the first Monday in June, Fall Forward the second Monday in September, and Advent the Monday after Thanksgiving.
Everything you need to take intentional steps forward over the next 40 days: Spiritually, Relationally, Physically, Mentally, and Financially.

Wear the reminder: progress isn’t about perfection. It’s about continuing to move in the right direction.
Forty days. Five Life Domains. One intentional step at a time.
Live Healthier. Lead Better. Love Deeper.
There are five 40 Day Fights each year, New Year, Lent, Summer, Fall and Advent.
Each of the five fights has a different devotional, and every participant gets the daily devotions by text and email and an e-journal. For $12 more you can add a physical journal at checkout, with 40 days of devotionals, resources, and plenty of journal space for your 40 days.
Once you sign up, give yourself time to pray and plan your fight. If you’re changing what you eat, you need to get groceries! If you’re adding a simple workout plan, you need to plan when you’re going to do the work. Remember the goal is to hit all 5 domains, every day, for all 40 days!
Set daily targets in all five life domains: Spiritual, Relational, Physical, Mental and Financial.
Fight to hit those targets every day until Holy Saturday. It's about direction, not perfection.
Connect with other fighters in the community hub, or better yet invite others from your small group, or gym or family to Fight alongside of you.
