Today's talk comes from Grant Partrick.

My name is Grant if we haven't had a chance to meet.

I have the privilege of pasturing this location of our house.

I love this family of people so much. I'm excited to get to open God's word

together today and I've loved this journey that we've been on call on heaven

I hope it's been as powerful for you as it has been for me.

Hope you've been finding this resource helpful.

I've loved kind of digging into it every day.

If you haven't been here, there may be a few of these left,

but everybody can jump in online and we have this

day by day guide as we're on this 25 day journey of fasting and prayer so just

want to invite you to jump on that if you haven't yet and And if you haven't heard the first two messages,

the first week from Pastor Ben,

kind of around us cultivating a hunger for God

and last week with Pastor Louis about being four people,

really, really powerful.

And Louis gave us this definition of fasting last week.

If you were here, you tried to write it down like I did.

I got to the third word, and then I gave up. So maybe I'll go a little bit slower today and maybe we have it on the screen. But this was the definition he gave us last week.

fasting is creating space through the withdrawal from earthly appetites
