Be Hungry for More Than Food

There are seasons when life feels heavy and you need God to speak with clarity. That’s when Scripture invites us to fast. Fasting is not about depriving yourself. It’s about creating space for God to move in the places where you feel stretched, weary, or uncertain.


When you fast, you allow your spirit to lead instead of your circumstances. God uses that posture to bring direction, strength, and renewed connection with Him.


To help you experience this, I want to send you my sermon series Fasting, Vols. 1 & 2. These messages explain what fasting is, how to begin, and how God uses it in the life of every believer. With your gift this month, we’ll also include Hope for the Hurting to encourage you in the places where you need God’s comfort.


If you’re ready to pursue God with a deeper focus, you can request your resources below.
