Fast Length

1. We'll fast for 40 Days—January 5, 2026 to February 13, 2026.

When We Fast

1. Each week, our fasting period starts on Monday and goes through Saturday.
2. Each Sunday you'll have off as a period of rest. (Note: Sundays will still count towards our total 40 days! 🙌)

Types of Fasting

Corporately we will participate in a food fast and a distraction fast during our 40 days. We encourage you to pray and seek the Lord and let Him lead you in how He's calling you to participate.

✦ Food Fast (Choose One Type)

1. Complete Fast — In this type of fast, you drink only liquids, typically water with light juices as an option.
2. Selective Fast — This type of fast involves removing certain elements from your diet. For an example maybe you remove meat, sweets, or bread from your diet during the 40 days.
3. Partial Fast — This fast is involves abstaining from eating any type of food in the morning and afternoon. This can either correlate to specific times of the day, such as 6:00 am to 3:00 pm, or from sunup to sundown.

✦ Distraction Fast

1. With our growing dependency on media, we often do not allow for a time of disconnection or silence. In this fast, you might choose to stop using social media or watching television for the duration of the fast and then carefully bring that element back into your life in healthy doses at the conclusion of the fast. If media isn't a distraction for you, let the Lord lead you in laying down whatever gets more of your time than Him.

Spending Time With God

1. Most importantly, as you set aside distractions during the fast, you want to be intentional about spending more time with the Lord in prayer, reading in your Word, and fellowshipping with other brothers and sisters in Christ.
2. Be willing to let the Lord lead you throughout the fast. For example, this week He may call you to lay down a certain distraction and next week that distraction could be different. That's OK!
