Why We Fast
Fasting isn't just giving up - it's giving in. When we fast, we clear away the noise so our hearts can focus on the One who gives life. It hits the reset button of our soul and renews us from the inside out.
Fasting helps us: quiet our minds, hear God more clearly, and realign our priorities with heaven. It's a posture of humility and dependence.
Our Goal for These 21 Days
Our Goal: To draw near to God, hear His voice, and live in the fullness He intends. Over the next three weeks, we'll seek deeper communion, spiritual clarity, and renewed purpose. This is a time to press in, to quiet the noise, and to listen for what God is doing in and through us.
How to Participate
- Pray First - Ask God to guide your fast and give you clarity about how to engage.
- Choose Your Fast - Whether it's food, social media, TV, or another discipline, let the Holy Spirit lead you.
- Engage Daily - Spend time in Scripture, prayer, and reflection. Track what God is doing.
- Stay Connected - Share your journey with someone, join group prayer, or check in with your community.
- Finish with Celebration - At the end of the 21 days, lift your voice in gratitude for what God has done.
