God’s heart burns with a love, a passion, a burden, for those who are far from Him. Do our hearts burn for the same?
Over 21 days, we’re inviting & challenging you to fast (in some way) while asking God to truly give you a heart — and feet — that move toward those who don’t know Him. By the end of this series, our church-wide challenge is for every person to name one person & one place they will be invested & available — praying & looking for opportunities to share the grace & truth of Jesus.
Growing in evangelism & outreach has recently become a key priority for us as a community — an area we’ve sensed God moving us to grow. But where do we begin? In prayer and conversations with our team, we kept coming back to this: we need to start from the ground up. We need to ask God to increase our faith in the gospel, increase our love for the lost, and increase our burden for those who don’t know Him … and from that place, we move with humble boldness and intentionality into everyday evangelism. If we don’t begin with God’s heart, evangelism is just going to feel like religious obligation — to both us and others. So let’s begin … by setting distractions aside to seek the heart of the One who first sought us.
Make a plan & share with a friend. Jesus warns us to not fast in order to impress (Matthew 6:16-18), but that doesn’t always mean fasting alone. Invite someone into the journey for encouragement & accountability!

Looking for resources to learn more about fasting as a follower of Jesus? Check out some of our recommendations, ranging from video studies to sermons to podcast conversations:
VIDEO STUDY – PRACTICING THE WAY:
A video study designed to introduce groups into the spiritual practice of fasting or take them deeper over the course of four weeks.
PODCAST / CONVERSATIONS:
Conversation-style podcast episodes, taking each week of the Practicing the Way video study a little deeper — or just as an interesting listen on each topic! EPISODES: We fast…
PODCAST / SERMON:
Sunday morning sermon out of Church of the City New York, walking through the benefits of fasting (the quiet soul, the amplified Word, the exposed heart, a solid identity, a holy hunger, and spiritual breakthrough) and practical tips (start small, build gradually, focus on the Spirit, remember grace, use wisdom, and pray for help).
Sunday morning sermon from Vessel in 2022; an introduction to the practice of fasting from our Canyon series on spiritual disciplines.
