Fasting as a Rhythm

Re-emphasize the importance of Rhythms - if Solitude is the kickdrum, Fasting is one of the Toms that sits on the kick

What Fasting is not a DIET PLAN

It is not Holding your breath to get what you want our of God

It is not a Diet plan - OMAD or intermittent fasting can be effective in weightloss or for particular goals, but this is not what good spiritual fasting is.

It is not a way to become more spiritual than others.

it is not a notch on your belt to make God Owe you something else

It is not a coin in your pocket to put in the God-vending-machine.

It is not another duty that you have to do, and if you mess up you need to feel guilty and beat yourself up over.

It is not a mystical practice to find inner-strength

What Fasting is giving up what you need to align yourself to God’s Will

Giving up what you need to better understand God’s will.

prioritizing God’s will over your own will.

Fasting is for the Lord, not for Instagram

Group fasts are different than showy fasts

Fasting should not be for Show
