I spent the end of 2009 and the beginning of 2010 listening to some great talks on prayer and fasting by Chris Hodges. Chris is the pastor at Church of the Highlands, a big church in Alabama that reaches many for Christ on Sunday and then equips them on Wednesday. These talks were for the Wednesday group and they were all encouraging, practical and personal. Chris reminds me a bit of Francis Chan, in that he really seems live what he preaches. Chris speaks with a nice southern drawl, contextualizes for a southern crowd, and has a real heart for the city and the nation. The more I listen to Chris, the more impressed I am by him. He is the read deal...
As you will learn on the talk on fasting, he started his church plant with a 21 day fast and they have done it ever since. He says it is the reason for any success they have experienced, and with four video churches and over 400 church plants, I'd say they have had some success.
So, be encouraged listening to the three talks on prayer and then the prayer and fasting talk. The first one is basic, lifestyle prayer, the second is a great talk on a style of prayer called tabernacle prayer and the third is prayer on Spiritual Warfare. The fourth talk is on Prayer and Fasting. I promise you will be encouraged by the personal nature, the down to earthness, the practicality and the heart displayed for his people.
Enjoy!
