As you read through the Bible, you will surely come across many references to the practice called "fasting." Most actual occurences of fasting in the Bible (I've just read all of them, so trust me) are communal and happen when Israel is in a desperate state of shambles or the early church leaders gather together to make important decisions or steps in their ministry.
Fasting is a discipline that is rarely discussed, and there may be some misconceptions looming out there about it. So later this month, we'll be talking about it at greater length, answering some important questions (what is fasting? what isn't it? should we do it? why? how can we appropriately practice it?) and even joining together across the whole Pittsburgh metro in an exciting fast as a community!
Stay tuned for more information!
