30 DAY FAST, SEPTEMBER 1 – SEPTEMBER 30 (Join any time, see how to prepare below.)

Early morning posts every day: 30 days of fasting does not mean you do not eat for 30 days! A fast can be many things. Normally it is a plan to deny yourself some kind of food or something that is habitual. You want the lack of it to be noticed regularly by your body and your mind. And you want to experience a sort of hunger for it. It can be a good thing or a bad thing. A fast, by design, will turn your thoughts toward God when the moment comes that you say No. These posts will help you prepare and focus on how He will spiritually provide what you need, in the moment and beyond.

Evening posts every day: Personal posts from me that share my own daily experience of fasting, encourage tasting the sweetness of our Lord before sleep, and prepare us for an ever deeper renewal in the morning.

    A Season of Harvest Day 12: Hungry and Naked without a Home

    Jesus was born in a manger, hungry and naked, without a home (Luke 2:16). The younger of two sons asked for his share of his father’s estate and the father’s wealth was divided. This prodigal son went away and squandered it with wild living. The only job he could get was in the fields feeding…

Planting seeds of help for the homeless could start with seeing them with God’s eyes of love. In the days of affliction and homelessness, Jerusalem remembers all the treasures that were hers which have now…
