Where Physical Detox Meets Spiritual Transformation

Available wherever books are sold!

Are you a sugar addict? 

Do you run to the pantry each afternoon, rather than running to Christ to get you through your day? Do you turn to Starbucks for a sweet latte, rather than turning to the satisfying sweetness of God’s Word? Do you eat out of boredom or as a reward? Do you struggle with emotional meltdowns each time your children meltdown?

Join thousands of others who have experienced both physical and spiritual renewal as you fast from sugar and ask the Lord to set you free from strongholds in your life!

Our next community sugar fast will begin January 9th, 2023.

Let’s fast from sugar and discover together that Christ is sweet enough! Grab the book today and a couple of friends, and dive in!

"Every day for forty days, I said, Jesus, I need You. You are enough. That prayer changed my life."

“I am teary just thinking of where I am now compared to forty days ago. I am twenty-nine pounds lighter, my skin and mind are clearer, and (most importantly) I am closer to my one true love, Jesus. He was so good to me during this fast. I have never been able to resist sugar before. And yet, I have not missed it. Oh how He loves me!”

“Fasting has unlocked so many doors inside my heart that were closed off for far too long. I have a long way to go with some of the things God has revealed, but for the first time, I feel equipped. I feel ready to put on the full armor, step out onto the battlefield, and fight the good fight. Thank you, Wendy.”

“It’s been years since I’ve gone more than three days without chocolate. I knew this fast was something I needed to do. Chocolate made days doable. Now, I’m learning Jesus makes days doable. And livable. And abundantly full.”

“Over these forty days it has been refreshing to not run to sweets every time something went wrong. Since I didn’t run to sweets first, Bible verses came to mind when I needed them—at the most appropriate times, in a way I hadn’t experienced before. God faithfully showed me that He has been there waiting for me to simply seek Him. I feel like this is just the beginning—I feel that God broke strongholds I’ve lived with for so many years.”

Where Physical Detox Meets Spiritual Transformation

What would you be willing to give up to experience the presence of God in your life again? Many of us sign up for a physical detox program, thinking that if our bodies are healthier, then we’re healthier. But a healthy body doesn’t do us a lot of good if we are spiritually malnourished.

Welcome to the 40-Day Sugar Fast, a fast that begins with us giving Jesus our sugar and ends with Jesus giving us more of himself–the only thing that can ever truly satisfy our soul’s deep hunger. On this 40-day journey you’ll learn how to stop fixating on food and other things you use to fill the voids in life and instead fix your eyes on Christ.

Anyone who runs to sugar for comfort or a reward, who eats mindlessly or out of boredom, who feels physically and spiritually lethargic, or who struggles with self-control will discover here not only freedom from their cravings but an entirely new appetite for the good things God has for us.
