Who are you becoming in Christ?
Prayer and fasting are deeply personal practices, but they are not meant to be practiced only in isolation. When they are shared in community, they become places of encouragement, accountability, and deeper formation. As you discuss the following questions, resist the urge to perform or fix. Instead, listen well, speak honestly, and encourage one another. Growth begins with truth, and God often uses community for the forming work he wants to accomplish in us.

There are moments in life when the world around you looks normal, but inside you’re living in a collapsing house. That was me. I walked around with a straight face, but my soul was cracked like old stone. I wasn’t just lost — I was blind. I didn’t know who I was. I didn’t know God. And worse, I didn’t know how far I was from him.

We live in a culture obsessed with self-indulgence. From the moment we wake up, we’re told we deserve more: more comfort, more success, more experiences, more stuff. Bigger is better. Newer is necessary. If something feels hard, inconvenient, or uncomfortable, we’re encouraged to avoid it or upgrade out of it. The message is constant and convincing: you owe it to yourself.

Christmas means something different for each of us. For some it’s full of joy. For others, it’s a hard and lonely season. No matter where you find yourself, we want you to hear this: You are loved, and you’re not walking through life on your own.
Paul Amos recorded a short Christmas message to speak hope, encouragement, and the truth of what Jesus’ birth means for us today. Praying this season brings you rest, joy, and renewed hope.
Take a moment to watch the message.
