Deliberate Abstinence

Fasting is not simply the giving up of something; it's giving that thing up in order to achieve a greater spiritual goal. The reasons we are called to fast are intended to bring us closer to God and bring us more in line with His mission. In week one of our series, Adam Barnett challenges us to take One More Step into fasting.

Nearness of God

Amidst the difficult things we face and the grief and lament we feel, it can also seem that God is distant. Our trust in God wanes even as His presence remains constant. Bill Clark encourages us of that truth that God is closer than we could ever realize.
