Starting Monday, January 5 through Sunday, January 25, we’re setting apart 21 days to seek God with fresh hunger and clear focus. This is not a program and it’s not a reset for our habits only. It’s spiritual training.
We’re laying aside what slows us down, turning from what entangles us, and fixing our eyes on Jesus. We’ll gather to pray, we’ll fast in a way that’s personal and sustainable, and we’ll ask God to move in our hearts, our homes, and our church. Come expectant. Come humble. Come ready to hear God and obey.
2026 is a year to move forward with purpose and endurance, not hurry and hype. We’re laying aside what slows us down, turning from what entangles us, and fixing our eyes on Jesus as we run the race God has set before us.
This is a year of spiritual training, deeper holiness, and steady faithfulness. Forward is our posture. Jesus is our focus.
The plan:
Daniel Fast for 21 days
no meats, sweets, or treats
remove one weight
(social, entertainment, etc.)
Why Fast?
Fasting is the ancient practice of choosing to abstain from food for a certain period of time. It is a spiritual discipline, the purpose of which is training to become more like Jesus. The motivation of our fasting is to draw closer to the heart of God. Fasting is a Christian discipline to break the power of the flesh in our life – our desires, sins, and cravings – and to feed on the Holy Spirit.
“Fasting helps us to express, to deepen, and to confirm the resolution that we are ready to sacrifice anything, even ourselves, to attain the Kingdom of God.” - Scot McKnight.
In summary, fasting is not about getting from God but it is about getting to God.
There are different types of fasting, and we recommend prayerfully considering which practice is best for you at this time.
