Picking Over Fasting and Prayer Podcast

Hey, I hope all you BPCers are enjoying our "Spiritual Pickers" series!

Every January we begin the new year with a season of fasting and prayer so for 4 days, from Sunday through Wednesday, BPCers have been setting aside extra time to pray and fast for more of God in their lives and in the life of BPC. You are invited to join us on Wednesday January 12 7pm at the church for an hour of Praise, Worship & Communion to conclude our season of prayer & fasting.

This podcast message not only talks about prayer but also highlights a type of fasting called "The Daniel Fast" referencing Daniel chapter 1:6-17 where Daniel & his 3 friends denied themselves King Nebuchadnezzar's royal food eating only vegetables & drinking water resulting in these 4 guys looking healthier and better nourished than the other young men who were the king's 3 year government training program.

If you'd like more imformation about this type of fasting, Pastor Craig Groechel recommends a book by Susan Gregory entitled "The Daniel Fast; Start the New Year with 21 Days of Fasting and Prayer". I have not read the book but if Craig recommends it then I'm sure it's worth the read!

Just click on the title of this post & you'll be directed to BPC's podcast page to listen to "Picking Over Fasting and Prayer".

Be Blessed!!
