The Future You

On January 9, we are kicking off 21 days of prayer and fasting.

Fasting disconnects us from the world, while prayer connects us to God. When we put the two together, we will see God do tremendous work in our lives!

Check out the following resources to get ready for Day One!

Do you have a vision for your future?

This 21-day journal will help you answer those questions and design your day with practical steps to help you get there. It’s time to become who God made you to be. It is time to see yourself the way He does and live like you believe it’s true. Endless potential is already in you, and His promise is that He is with you and for you.
For the next three weeks, we will be doing three things every single day: praying, journaling, and fasting.
We are creatures of habit, and the goal for these next three weeks is to establish healthy rhythms we can carry with us for the rest of the year. Who do you want to become? Because before you can get there, you have to start here. You may have a long way to go, but today is the perfect day to start—the future you will say, ‘thank you.’
