This Sunday in our Missional Formation series, Pastor Sam Gibson spoke on the distinctive of Crucified and Consecrated, focusing on the discipline of fasting. Living a crucified and consecrated life allows believers to put to death their fleshly desires and makes space for Jesus to resurrect His desires in us. Building a lifestyle of fasting is one of the most effective and powerful practices that brings about this transformation in our lives. Yet, while many Christians know they should fast, they often don’t understand why or how best to approach this discipline. More than just abstaining from eating, fasting is an intentional act of surrender that positions us to receive more of God.
