Feeding the Spirit
In the autumn of 2025 we want to journey together into the practice of fasting. Jesus fasted. Regularly. For the early church, fasting was VITAL to it’s rhythms and perseverance.
And yet now, we live in a culture of overflow, of food choices that would compete with kings 100 year ago, food waste at an all time high, and many of us struggling to manage our emotions around food.
We think the practice of fasting could be really helpful and healthy for many of us to embrace regularly.
“Fasting from any nourishment, activity, involvement or pursuit—for any season—sets the stage for God to appear.”
– Dan B. Allender
Get rhythm.
Our challenge to all of us is to consider fasting two days a week (traditionally in the church this has been Wednesday and Friday, but we’d encourage you to line up with your Community of this so you can fast together.
We also advise that those who might struggle with fasting for health reasons consult a medical professional.
