People often don’t know what to say or do, and instead of reaching in, they wait for you to reach out—as if the ability to maintain connection should rest on your shoulders. But when you are carrying so much already it becomes impossible to also carry the burden of making others feel comfortable with your suffering.

Jesus is our Saviour ... He is the hinge on which everything turns, and our personal story only makes sense in light of his gospel.

Over the years I have had countless conversations with young men about different aspects of pastoral ministry. What has become increasingly clear is that there is a growing anxiety around the risks involved in taking that step into full-time ministry.
Fasting forces us to embrace hunger, weakness, and lack and instead look to God. This simple little book is accessible and useful for individuals and small groups with helpful and insightful discussion questions after each chapter. May it encourage you in your devotion to God.
