We are thrilled to kick off 2026 with our 21-day fast as we intentionally seek God under the theme Transformed, declaring not just a moment of change, but a year of lasting spiritual renewal.


Beginning January 8 through January 28, 2026, we will embark on a formative journey rooted in Scripture and anchored in the promise of transformation. This fast is an intentional time to step away from old patterns, renew our minds through God’s Word, and align our lives with His will. We are not merely seeking improvement we are declaring that we will be transformed from the inside out.


Fasting is a sacred invitation for the Holy Spirit to work deeply within us to disrupt what no longer belongs, renew how we think, and reshape how we live. As we fast, we believe God will sharpen our discernment, strengthen our faith, and guide our decisions with clarity and wisdom as we step into all He has prepared for us.


To support you on this journey, we’ve created an original 21-day devotional designed to walk alongside the fast and reinforce the theme of Transformed. This devotional will be available for pick-up at one of our campuses on January 4th or accessible as a digital download. Let’s prepare our hearts and step into this season together; expectant, aligned, and ready to be transformed.

Fasting isn't about moving God...

It is about moving us

Fasting Guidelines

EVERY DAY:

  • Commit: to a full daily fast until 6 PM

  • If this is your first time fasting, consider starting with a shorter goal, such as fasting until 1 PM or 3 PM.

  • Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Minor adjustments to your fast for health purposes are acceptable. If for health reasons it is difficult or not advisable to refrain from food entirely, consider following the Daniel Fast as an excellent alternative.

  • Engage daily: Participate in the daily devotions and devotional readings to stay spiritually connected.

  • Break your fast wisely: End your fast each day with a small, healthy meal choice to ease back into eating.

  • Reduce or eliminate sugar: Minimize or cut out sugar from your meals during the fasting period.

  • Set boundaries for late-night eating: Avoid eating past 11 PM whenever possible.

  • Limit social media: Reduce social media time to 45 minutes or less each day to stay focused on spiritual growth.

  • Join Morning Glory: Start your day with prayer each weekday morning at 6 AM via Zoom or phone.

    • Zoom Link or Phone: Dial 929-205-6099 | Meeting ID: 853 999 65353

  • Stretch your faith: For those seeking to deepen their spiritual discipline, aim for a full 40-hour fast once a week.

  • Night workers: If you work overnight, adjust your fasting window to align with your schedule—for example, from 11 AM to 3 AM or later.

ON WEDNESDAYS:

  • Join us in-person or online for special prayer services at 7:30p (LifeCenter Campus) | Jan 14th / 21st  / Jan 28th (Communion)

DURING THE ENTIRE 21 DAYS

  • Reduce your “screen time” (such as time spent on social media, Netflix, Prime, Hulu, other television, phones, etc.) Consider eliminating some activity that will be sacrificial and...
  • Instead, increase frequency of meaningful devotions, times of meditation, faith-filled podcasts, prayer, and Bible reading throughout each day. Aim for these devotional moments for at least 3 times a day.
  • Stay hydrated; drinking water and/or unsweetened tea is encouraged.


FASTING FOR KIDS

For children, fasting for food may not always be practical or even advised. Help your child choose something that they really love and that they typically use every day. In order for them to experience the feeling of “hunger” for the thing they sacrificed, it needs to be something they will really miss. It may be their favorite snack, their favorite TV show, or their favorite game or toy. Once you have chosen an item for them to “fast” from, help them figure out how they will replace the item they sacrificed with time with God instead. Maybe during the time they would typically have their snack or watch their favorite show, you can read the Bible or pray together instead.

We have seen time and time again how amazing and miraculous things happen,

when we intentionally and collectively pursue God.
