Another episode of The Pieces Podcast is here to enjoy! On this podcast we hope to facilitate opportunities to convene and learn more about God through music lead devotionals. Let’s get excited to enjoy our love for music and Christ in one place.

On today’s podcast, we’ll get into what anchor scriptures are, our next dissected song, and step into the listening room!

Anchor Scripture: An anchor scripture is that one scripture that holds a lot of power. It's a reminder that no matter how we might drift off or lose ourselves in the process of LIFE, it’ll always help us recenter and remind us of the character and presence of God in our life.

Isaiah 55:12a NIV - “You will go out in joy, and be led forth in peace”

Isaiah 55:12a MSG - “So you’ll go out in joy, you’ll be led into a whole and complete life.”

The SOAP Method on Scripture:

S - Scripture

O - Observation

A - Application

P - Prayer

Devotionals: Jesus Calling

Today’s featured song: He Touched Me x Yolanda Adams

The lyrics say,

Shackled by a heavy burden

'Neath a load of guilt and shame

Then the hand of Jesus touched me

And now I am no longer the same

He touched, oh, He touched me

And oh, the joy that floods my soul

Something happened and now I know

He touched me and made me whole

We’ll discuss the importance of faith without works, intentionality in all pursuit of your desires, and fasting. Tune into today’s episode for the full breakdown.

Guide to 21 Days of Fasting (Thank you for our listener - Nita for sharing some key facts!)

What is a Fast? - Fasting is simply denying your flesh and what it wants in order to seek God for what He wants.

Why do we fast? As you cleanse you body, your spirit is renewed and refreshed, allowing you to hear from God more clearly and be more sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit. Remember, FASTING WITHOUT PRAYER IS MERELY GOING ON A DIET. We want to see spiritual results as well as physical.

What is the Daniel Fast? (see Daniel 1:12) Essentially a vegetarian/vegan diet

Food Included: Whole Grains, Legumes, Fruits, Vegetables, Water, All natural Juices
