Series: Practicing the Way series

Learn how the powerful yet neglected spiritual discipline of fasting can awaken your entire being to a deep hunger for God, in this guide from New York Times bestselling author John Mark Comer and the team at Practicing the Way.

In our culture of constant consumption, the biblical practice of fasting is both countercultural and transformative. This Companion Guide to the Fasting Practice from Practicing the Way offers spiritual exercises, reflection questions, and guided readings. Featuring four engaging video sessions, the Fasting Practice is designed to be run with your community and is available online for free.

This guide will help you:

Understand the invitation to fast as a rhythm or a response

Offer your whole self to God in surrender

Grow in holiness by integrating mind and body

Amplify both your prayers to God and God's voice to you

Stand in solidarity with the poor and against injustice

Discover how incorporating fasting as a way of life can lead to a deeper connection with God, a renewed sense of purpose, and a more embodied apprenticeship.
