Join the 30-Day "Fast from Negative Words", starting July 1, 2024.


 Inspired by Proverbs 18:21: 

"The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit," this fast is a chance to experience the positive impact of mindful communication. 

30-Day Fast

Why a Biblically-Rooted Fast?

The Bible is filled with wisdom on the importance of our words. Ephesians 4:29 reminds us: "Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, so that it may benefit those who listen."

This fast encourages us to:

  • Cultivate a Christ-like attitude: Colossians 3:16 calls us to let "the word of Christ dwell in you richly." By focusing on positive language, we reflect the love and encouragement He embodies.
  • Strengthen Relationships: Proverbs 15:4 tells us, "A gentle tongue is a tree of life, but perverse speech crushes the spirit." Choosing kind words fosters connections and builds bridges within our communities.
  • Experience Personal Growth: Just like James 1:2-4 reminds us that trials can lead to perseverance, this fast can help us develop greater self-control and a more positive outlook.

How Does the fast Work?

For the next 30 days, let's commit to minimizing negativity in our speech. Here are some ways to participate:

  • Replace grumbling with gratitude: Instead of dwelling on frustrations, practice expressing thankfulness for even the small blessings.
  • Offer constructive criticism: When necessary, point out areas for improvement with gentleness and respect.
  • Reframe negativity:  Consider the advice of Philippians 4:8: "Finally, brothers and sisters, fill your minds with what is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent or praiseworthy."

Benefits of the fast:

  • Enhance your well-being: Studies show positive language can reduce stress, improve mood, and even enhance health.
  • Strengthen relationships: By choosing your words carefully, you can build trust and create stronger connections with others.
  • Embrace a Christ-like attitude: The Bible emphasizes the importance of our words. This fast allows you to reflect the love and encouragement of Christ.

Weekly Scriptural Inspiration:

Throughout this journey, deepen your commitment with weekly emails featuring inspiring scripture verses. These verses will provide guidance and encouragement as you cultivate a more positive and mindful way of speaking. 

Let's Make a Positive Impact:

By taking part in this fast, we can not only transform our own communication but also create a ripple effect of kindness and encouragement in our communities.
