I'm embarrassed to admit this, but the only "hunger pains" I have ever really felt have come from overeating. The thought of "not eating" can stress me out. In fact, I often think about what's for lunch while I'm eating breakfast! I'm all for feasting. But fasting?


Fasting is one of the most essential and powerful of all the practices of Jesus and, arguably, the single most neglected one in the modern, Western church. Fasting was a core practice of Jesus and the early church. As apprentices, this practice brings our whole self into intimacy with Jesus.


Come look with us at what the Word says about it all.
