Lifestyle Fasts

Removing something (non-food related) from your daily life such as social media or TV. This is a particularly great option if giving up anything food related is not currently a healthy choice for you. If you are pregnant, undergoing physical treatment or are currently struggling in your relationship with food, we highly recommend this option to you. We want fasting to be a positive experience for everyone which results in people feeling more connected to God, rather than triggering negative thought patterns or behaviors.

Complete Fast

In this type of fast, you drink only liquid (usually water) with light juices or broth as an option.

Selective Fast

This involves removing certain elements from your diet.  For example, you may want to eliminate coffee, a favorite food, or a combination of things as you feel led.  Another option would be skipping only one meal of the day and spend that time praying, instead.

Partial Fast

Sometimes referred to as a “Jewish Fast” this involves fasting from sunrise to sunset (OR a set time such as 6am-4pm) by abstaining from food during the day and only drinking water while the sun is up.

Daniel Fast

A very popular fast, learned from a powerful and Godly man who influenced Babylon and took a time “to eat no pleasant food.” Daniel 10:3  This includes removing all meats, sweets, dairy, oils, and breads from your diet and eating only fruits, vegetables, and possibly some ancient grains.
