Is An Extended Fast for You?

Today, on That Sounds Fun, we’re talking about an extended fast with Pastor Kevin Queen and Pastor Dave Clayton. Maybe that’s 3 days or 7 days or 21 days or 40 days. It may not be for everyone, but it IS for someone, and these two are helping us discern what that looks like and how to walk through it with discipline and grace. Listen here!

I was on a plane. I couldn’t tell you where I was going or where I had been.

But it was sunny, I was in a window seat on the right side of the plane, and a John Mark Comer podcast about fasting was playing in my ears. In it, he described how generations ago, when people observed Lent, they ate one small, vegetable-based meal every evening Monday through Saturday of that season, and feasted on Sundays.

Something pinged in my heart.
An invitation.

I couldn’t believe it, but I thought I might want to try that.

I didn’t decide to fast right there on the plane, but I decided to get curious about whether this was right for me.

I made three phone calls when that plane landed.
