Fasting Days and Times

Sunday August 4th 6pm to Saturday August 24th 6pm

Types of Fast 

Selective Fast 

This type of fasting involves removing certain elements from your diet. One example of a selective fast is the Daniel Fast, during which you remove meat, sweets, and bread from your diet and consume water and juice for fluids and fruits and vegetables for food. 

Partial Fast 

This fast is sometimes called the “Jewish Fast” and involves abstaining from eating any type of food in the morning and afternoon. This can either correlate to specific times of the day, such as 6:00 am to 3:00 pm, or from sunup to sundown. 

Complete Fast 

In this type of fast, you drink only liquids, typically water with light juices as an option. 

Soul Fast 

Soul Fasting is a great option if you do not have much experience fasting food, have health issues that prevent you from fasting food, or if you wish to refocus certain areas of your life that are out of balance. 

For example, you might choose to stop using social media or watching television for the duration of the fast and then carefully bring that element back into your life in healthy doses at the conclusion of the fast.
