Approach Easter stronger in faith & health
Spend Lent preparing your heart, mind and body to embrace health in Christ
In the Old Testament, the prophet Daniel chose to abstain from the rich foods of the king's table, which was fruitful for both his spiritual growth and his bodily health. The Daniel Fast is a partial fast that focuses on spiritual development, while avoiding foods and drink that don't truly nourish our body. Like Daniel, you'll learn to eat real plant foods, while eliminating processed foods, animal products, caffeine and alcohol. The first few weeks of Lent help you to reduce harmful foods, while slowly increasing healthful foods. In the days prior to Easter, participants can choose to follow a 10-day or 21-day Daniel Fast, which allows unlimited whole plant foods and water, but avoids foods that harm our health.
