Learn how the powerful yet neglected spiritual discipline of fasting can awaken your entire being to a deep hunger for God in this guide from New York Times bestselling author John Mark Comer and the team at Practicing the Way.
In our culture of constant consumption, the biblical practice of fasting is both countercultural and transformative. Designed to be used with four engaging video sessions freely available online, the Fasting Practice from Practicing the Way offers spiritual exercises, reflection questions, guided readings, and additional resources to help you and your community.
This guide will equip you to:
• Understand the invitation to fast as a rhythm or a response
• Offer your whole self to God in surrender
• Grow in holiness by integrating mind and body
• Amplify both your prayers to God and God’s voice to you
• Stand in solidarity with the poor and against injustice
Discover how incorporating fasting as a way of life can lead to a deeper connection with God, a renewed sense of purpose, and a more embodied apprenticeship.
Part of a series of nine core practices that together build a Rule of Life for following Jesus in the modern world, each guide can be read individually or together in any order:
The Sabbath Practice
The Prayer Practice
The Fasting Practice
The Solitude Practice
The Generosity Practice
The Scripture Practice
The Community Practice
The Service Practice
The Witness Practice
