Fasting
A message from the series “First Light: Spiritual Practices After a Long Night”, given by Pastor Scott Austin on Feb. 27, 2022.
As we look ahead to the beginning of Lent, we will consider the most common Lenten spiritual practice: fasting. Whether it is a traditional food fast, or another form of voluntary self-deprivation, fasting can be a powerful practice. Yet it can also feel oppressive, and we may carry some baggage from previous attempts. One helpful key: adding in something to replace whatever you’re “giving up” for Lent.
