THE FASTING PRACTICE

Practicing the Way

What if we are missing out on one of Jesus’ most essential practices?

Fasting is going without food for a set amount of time to awaken our body and soul to our deep hunger and need for God. It’s one of the most powerful — and neglected — of all of Jesus’ practices.

Each Practice comes with four session videos, which include short teachings and breaks for discussion, as well as a companion guide with weekly spiritual exercises, tutorials, recommended reading, and additional resources to help your group create life-changing daily rhythms as you apprentice under Jesus together.

These four weeks are designed to get you started on a lifelong practice of meeting God through the ancient discipline of fasting.

• Fasting 01: To Offer Ourselves to God

• Fasting 02: To Grow in Holiness

• Fasting 03: To Amplify Our Prayers

• Fasting 04: To Stand with the Poor

FASTING IS FEASTING ON GOD

Renovaré Podcast | Mimi Dixon and Nathan Foster

Fast­ing is a way to expand our capac­i­ty to enjoy God, to par­tic­i­pate with God, to put our­selves in a place where his pow­er can more freely flow through us for the sake of bless­ing oth­ers. Long-time pas­tor and Ren­o­varé board mem­ber Mimi Dixon reframes fast­ing as feast­ing on God in this inter­view with Nathan Foster. 

Renovaré offers many additional resources on the practice of fasting.
