FAQs

Why do we pray?

1

Prayer is mentioned more than 500 times in Scripture. Throughout the life of Jesus, we see Jesus in prayer with our heavenly Father. Prayer was the foundation of his life here on Earth. If prayer was integral to him, how much more must it be integral for us?

Prayer is simply the medium through which we communicate and commune with God. The practice of prayer is learning to set aside time to intentionally be with God. We believe prayer is our first response, not our last resort.


Why do we fast?

2

Fasting is the act of choosing to abstain from food for a period of time. When we fast, we are practicing spiritual discipline by sacrificing one of our most essential daily routines. Fasting is an opportunity not to get from God, but to get to know God.

There are different types of fasting, and we recommend prayerfully considering which practice is best for you at this time.
