FASTING
Weeding Out What Hinders Growth
When seedlings sprout, they need a lot of space to grow. Their roots are small, their shoots fragile. We clear away anything that blocks the light.
​
Fasting helps us create a clean, open space for growth. Use the questions below to consider what you and God might cultivate together.
