What is Fasting?

For over a thousand years, fasting was one of the central practices of the Christian church. Similar to prayer or the reading of Scripture, fasting was a common thing that most Christians did. After all, Jesus began his life’s work with 40 days of fasting – a practice he continued throughout his lifetime.

And yet, very few followers of Jesus in the modern, western, world are familiar with the practice of fasting. What if we’re missing out on one of the most essential and powerful of all the practices of Jesus? Join us over the next four weeks as we explore the spiritual practice of fasting and how it may be one of the best ways to integrate our entire person – mind and body – in aligning our lives to the Way of Jesus.
