As we begin a new year, we’re choosing to start the right way — by surrendering ourselves.
First Things First is a 21-day fast designed to help us quiet the noise, put the flesh down, and draw closer to God—so His voice becomes clearer in our lives.
Fasting isn’t about punishment or performance. We don’t fast to move God. We fast to move closer to Him.
⬇️ LET US KNOW IF YOU ARE PARTICIPATING ⬇️
HOW IT WORKS:
We are asking everyone to pray about two things:
1) What is God asking you to fast?
Choose something meaningful—something that requires surrender, not convenience.
Examples:
Social media / scrolling
Sugar / sweets
Bread
Coffee
Streaming / entertainment
Other distractions
(A good rule of thumb: If you feel it when it’s gone, you probably chose well.)
2) What are you believing God for?
What are you asking God to do in you during these 21 days?
Examples:
Clear direction
Spiritual renewal
Breakthrough
A deeper connection with God
Momentum for your family, faith, and future
⬇️ ADDITIONAL ENGAGEMENT ⬇️
JOIN THE GROUP (ENCOURAGEMENT + COMMUNITY)
We do not want anyone doing this alone. We have created a First Things First Group in Planning Center / Church Center where you can stay connected, encouraged, and prayed for throughout the fast.
Inside the group you can:
Share encouragement and prayer requests
Celebrate what God is doing
Stay focused and supported
No pressure to post — this is simply a space to stay connected and encouraged if you desire.
