BELIEVING FOR MORE
A 21 DAY PRAYER & FASTING JOURNEY
01.06.25 — 01.26.25
At the start of every year, we embark on a 21 day prayer & fasting journey as a community with the intention of centering and aligning ourselves, both individually and collectively, with God. In doing so, our hope is that we would catch a God-shaped vision for ourselves, for our community, and for the world around us that would inspire us to believe that more is always possible.
So wherever you find yourself in this season, we invite you to join us on the journey. Whether you are new to faith, old to the faith, rediscovering faith, or even questioning faith; whether you are praying and fasting for the very first time or the twentieth time— we are confident that God will meet you right where you are.
The following is a guide to help you get started.
”Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.”
— Hebrews 11:1

How to fast.
Fasting is an ancient spiritual practice that allows us to commit ourselves into deep introspection, spiritual growth, and surrender to God's will. During these cherished days, we intentionally set aside worldly distractions and immerse ourselves in prayer, seeking divine guidance, enlightenment, and renewal. It is in this dedicated time of fasting and communing with the Creator that we find solace, draw closer to our faith, build resilience, and experience profound blessings. Through our collective prayers and fasting, we not only transform ourselves but also impact the world around us with the light of God's love and grace.
Whether you decide to give up a certain type of food or take a break from social media, this form of self-denial, when used to focus on prayer, will align your heart with the heart of God. It is a time where we quiet ourselves from the distractions around us, so that we can hear from God more clearly. Fasting isn’t about losing weight, it’s about gaining vision.
Your personal fast should present a level of challenge, but it is very important to know your body, your options, and most importantly, to seek God in prayer and follow what the Holy Spirit leads you to do. Please remember that every person is different and you should only choose what is a healthy and safe choice for you.
