Summary

Today I get to talk with my friends Pastor Kevin Queen and Pastor Dave Clayton. Both are extremely wise voices not only in my life but in the lives of so many here in middle Tennessee. When I knew I wanted us to talk about what it looks like to do an extended fast, these were the 2 first I thought of. We’re talking about everything from why it can feel weird to talk about fasting, what it looks like to lead people through a corporate fast, and what it looks like to do an extended fast. Maybe it’s 3 days or 7 days or 21 days or 40 days. That may not be for everyone, but it is for someone and I wanted these two to help discern what that looks like and how to walk through it with discipline and grace. After you listen, head over to spirituallystronger.com. I’m telling a story about the moment I felt Holy Spirit invite me into an extended fast. And as always, we have questions there for you to process and think through this week. View the show notes here . . . .
