Episode notes
Let Fields Lie Fallow
- Let some fields of your life lie fallow so God can reveal new growth beneath the surface.
- Use the fast to set aside routines that obscure deeper things God is planting in you.
Fasting Clears Space To Hear God
- Fasting isn't chiefly about striving but about clearing space to hear God and perceive what He is cultivating.
- If we wait for manna habits, we'll miss learning to cultivate the fruit already present in the land God gave us.
Beware Gospel Drift
- The gospel can drift from a provocative, life-changing force into comfortable routine if we don't pursue fresh encounter.
- Proximity to Christ's messy, intimate presence (breath, spit, blood) enables transformation and harvest.
