The Skinny on Fasting
On Tuesday we talked about fasting. The goal of fasting is to say no to something in order to say yes to something in a more intense way. We don’t just go without food, but we pursue our pleasure, passion, and joy in Jesus Christ. I’m so proud of numerous young adults who are fasting something this week. Keep going, my friends. God is at work!
This is the video we showed from The Skit Guys. Awesome.

About
This blog exists to help worship leaders do what they do better.
Sometimes it’s hard to reconcile the big concert stages with the every day practicality of leading worship in the local church. I want to help connect the dots. My writings are brief, practical, and applicable to being a worship leader in the local church today. Thanks for stopping by. I am a Worship Pastor at Allison Park Church in Pittsburgh, PA. You may or may not be a worship leader. Even thought I gear my writings towards that audience, I write plenty of content on leadership, devotional life, music, and ministry.

When I fast, I’m realigning my heart with the first commandment – to make sure I’m loving God above all else. And also to wean myself off of distractions to that goal. As a worship leader, is so important to keep your heart alive in God as you lead people to encounter him. Btw, I always get focused with this hilarious video on fasting. […]
