Lent & Easter

Fasting is, at its core, an invitation to intimacy with God. It’s an emp¬tying of all, so we can be filled by His all. Yet many of us aren’t sure how to start making this transformative practice a part of our lives. As Reward Sibanda explores, we never finish a fast the same person we were when we began, because through fasting we become more of who God created us to be. 

How to Fast

Of all the things the disciples witnessed as they followed Jesus throughout Galilee and Judea, none was more paradigm-shifting than when they saw Him alive after He had died.
