What if fasting is about more than just skipping a meal? In this message, Pastor Abbie Sawczak walks us through Matthew 4 one more time as New Culture Church prepares to enter the season of Lent together. She unpacks how fasting amplifies our prayers, grows our compassion, and forms us into people who can stand in the gap for others. Drawing from the courage of Esther, the faith of leaders throughout Black history, and the example of Jesus himself in the wilderness, Abbie invites us to see fasting not as a religious obligation but as a prophetic act of trust, surrender, and love. Whether this is your first fast or your fiftieth, this message will challenge you to show up, practice, and let God do the perfecting.
