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.

    Fast Day 13: Inner Change

    John the Baptist was identified as the first prophet in 400 years and he dressed the part. He wore camel hair sackcloth, a coarse and loosely woven garment, which represented a special prophetic call for personal and national repentance. But His message and his demeanor were one of humility. He was there to proclaim someone…

    Hunger for the Harvest Day 10: Humility

    The role of a farmer is one of total dependence upon God for the sun and the rain and the growth of the seeds he plants. But this can be a humbling experience for us when we plant seeds for God on our knees in prayer. We hardly ever see the full fruit of what…

    Planting Seeds Day 11: Repent!

    You can plant seeds one by one with your own green or not-so-green thumb, or use a big noisy and smelly machine to do all the work for you. Not that God has anything against machinery for farmers! But when we move forward to plant seeds for His kingdom, God wants a personal touch. He…
