Brackets to Go 2014

For the third year in a row, we are taking Lent Madness to the streets. These days, you simply can’t expect everyone to come to Lent Madness, so it’s important to bring Lent Madness to the people. Coming inside and asking for a bracket can be intimidating to many people, so we like to go […]

Monday Madness — March 3, 2014

Well, friends, it’s almost here. Less than three days until Ash Thursday, the formal kickoff off Lent Madness 2014. This week, Tim and Scott talk about how you can get instant gratification by buying the Saintly Scorecard for your Amazon Kindle, B&N Nook, or Apple iThing. (Visit the Lentorium for more indispensable items for your […]

SEC Day

Following an exciting Celebrity Blogger Week (okay, we use the word “week” loosely — it was 10 days), today is SEC Day. Think Presidents Day but without the car sales. As everyone knows the self-appointed (anointed?) Supreme Executive Committee of Lent Madness comprises Scott Gunn and Tim Schenck. What exactly are the SEC’s responsibilities? In […]

Celebrity Blogger Week: Robert Hendrickson

Congratulations! After today you have officially survived Celebrity Blogger Week. See? That wasn’t so hard. But first, our last but not least (or last shall be first depending on your perspective) CB. Read on. New to the world of Celebrity Bloggerdom, Robert Hendrickson promises to bring us to the mountaintop this Lent. Well, that’s not […]

Celebrity Blogger Week: Adam Thomas

All Lent Madness fans should be grateful for one of the true unsung heroes of Lent Madness, Bracket Czar Adam Thomas. Adam created the now iconic fancy bracket we use for our little saintly competition. A former Celebrity Blogger, Adam now enjoys a title that clearly impressed the search committee at St. Mark’s Church in […]

Celebrity Blogger Week: Laurie Brock

Entering her second year as a Celebrity Blogger, Laurie Brock is also the owner of Nina, the Official Horse of Lent Madness. Of course everybody in Kentucky owns a horse so we realize this is only a big deal to those outside the Bluegrass State. When she’s not riding, writing, snarking up the joint on […]

Celebrity Blogger Week: Penny Nash

Ever since 2011, the first year we invited four Celebrity Bloggers to participate in the Faithful Four (because Tim was exhausted from writing all the bios himself), Penny Nash has been part of the Lent Madness team. In other words, this will be the fourth straight Lent that she’s offered us a Penny for her […]

Celebrity Blogger Week: David Sibley

Everyone needs a Brooklyn hipster in his or her life. We’re not entirely sure former chemists qualify as hipsters but David Sibley is most definitely living in Brooklyn amongst the artisinal-everything loving hipsters. Sure, he’s actually from South Carolina but what’s a little geographical fudgery among friends? This is David’s second year as our youngest […]

Monday Madness — February 24, 2014

In the latest action-packed episode of Monday Madness, Tim and Scott talk about everything from Celebrity Blogger “Week” to Presbyterians. Make sure you have a widget on your website, and you too could get a shoutout by the Supreme Executive Committee. When you finish watching this video, make sure you watch Maple Anglican’s excellent Sexagesima […]

Celebrity Blogger Week: David Creech

We’re glad David Creech took us up on our offer to serve as a Celebrity Blogger this year for two main reasons. First, he’s a Lutheran and this proves that we’re ecumenical. Second, when we inevitably hear someone yelling “Is there a doctor in the Lent Madness house?” we have David around to save the […]
