Marks of a Mature Disciple

30 DAY FAST

Fast from food (or chooses a suitable alternative if needed) for 24 hours.
Focus: prayer for renewal in our church, our neighbors, and for hearts ready to receive Jesus leading up to our Back to Church Sunday Sunday outreach.
We break the fast together with a meal on Saturday, Sept 21 at noon.

Fast from a meal, a dessert, a specific food or drink, &/or a specific media use .
The purpose is not just to give something up but to make space for prayer.
Each day pray through the questions below about becoming a P.L.A.N.T, disciple.
Engage with one another in what God is teaching you in your prayer time at Sunday Services and Growth Communities.

- How am I praying for others—both those close to me and those beyond my circle—and how is this shaping my heart?
- In what ways is the Holy Spirit leading me into deeper surrender, and is my life reflecting sacrificial obedience in response to His guidance?
- Am I making unhurried space to engage Scripture, not just for information, but for personal transformation?
- How am I seeking to grow as a disciple through the voices of fellow believers and mentors?
- Am I building relationships with people who are generationally, culturally, or socioeconomically different from myself?
- Am I addressing conflict and tension with truth and grace, rather than avoidance or escalation?
- What am I learning about the needs, strengths, and stories of people from the community?
- What steps am I taking to partner with others for the good of our neighborhood?
- Who am I walking alongside to help grow in their discipleship and live an abundant life?
- Who am I sharing my faith in the hopes that they become a Christ follower?
