Hunger for the Harvest Day 13: Holy Living, Holy Guide

Habits of Jesus Day 17: Overcoming
Recorded in the book of John, at the Last Supper, Jesus takes a lot of time to speak with His disciples about upcoming things (John 13-17). One of the themes is that no matter what kind of troubles will be coming, He has already overcome them: His body will be resurrected to heaven, He will…

Habits of Jesus Day 15: Loving the Sick

Fast Day 4: Pick It Up

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.
