    • Shareable Quotes:

      • “Whether it’s food, social media, or something else that’s taken a stronghold in our lives, fasting is about removing and replacing. So, we are removing what we’re fasting from, but hopefully, we’re fasting towards the Lord.” – Shane Pruitt
      • “True prayer and true intimacy with God can’t be rushed.” – Paul Worcester
      • “Sabbath is a practice of faith. It’s saying, ‘You know what? I’m resting, and this is a good reminder that the Lord doesn’t need me.’” – Shane Pruitt
      • “I like to say that silence and solitude—time alone in God’s presence—is an acquired taste. Once you experience and build that habit, it refuels you. It’s something you long for and look forward to throughout your day.” – Paul Worcester
