FIVE MARKS OF A DISCIPLE: OCTOBER 5 – NOVEMBER 2

Posts every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday: Fasting builds intimacy with God, and encourages you to grow inwardly, upwardly, and outwardly. Explore five marks of a transformed disciple of Jesus and determine five actions that will allow God to change you. An action that applies to each mark is focus. Fasting and prayer is God’s way for us to find the kind of focus that builds intimacy within and actions without. Be with Him. Be like Him. Do what He wants.

COMING NEXT! MAKING SPACE: NOVEMBER 4 – NOVEMBER 27

Posts every Wednesday and Friday: Reflect on how to use fasting to make more space for God in your life. God made a space in His world for us. Make space in the morning and enjoy intimacy with Him. Make space in your schedule to breathe and be refreshed by Him. Make space in the moment and better reflect God to others. Make space in your conversations with others and learn how to listen like He does. Make space in your commitments so that you can say Yes! to the things He wants you to do.
