At some point, Jesus will come along and open the door, not of insight but of being with Him, embracing Him and His words. He will open to you the door of being more aware of Him than yourself; you will know Him—this is eternal life.
A Brief Overview
Our January anchor, and the catalyst for the year is our fasting season, running January 12th through February 1st. During this time, we’ll journey together through Always Starving as our devotional, then begin our 2026 Devotional Experience Journals on February 2nd.
Whether you’re new to fasting or have practiced it for years, we’ll be guided these next 21 days as we take a deeper dive into prayer, reading, daily practices and contemplation. With great anticipation, we invite you to join us.
Always Starving will be available after services in the Hangar starting December 28th for a suggested donation.

The Listening Playlist
-
In Always Starving you will see a few aspects that are similar to the first 2 books written, drinking more water, taking a break from media, etc.. but this books primary focus is on contemplation. Think less food-focused (although we’re still fasting) and more attention to creating space for silence.
-
Nope! All three books in the trilogy are able to stand alone. Each are a great place to begin or continue your fasting and prayer journey.
-
While not required, planning ahead as you prepare to fast will be helpful. You may find it convenient to be well stocked on fruits and vegetables as well as high protein foods such as nuts and hard boiled eggs.
