Prayer and Fasting

Pastor Daniel Goulding · Jan 5, 2026

Pastor Daniel opens the year by calling Echoes Church to a 21-day season of prayer and fasting, arguing that these two disciplines form a powerful, inseparable combination. Prayer is not about informing or influencing God but about experiencing genuine intimacy with Him, while fasting is the voluntary act of humbling ourselves so that God — who opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble — can move powerfully in and through us. Together, prayer and fasting align us with God's will, position us for breakthrough, and invite us into our God-given purpose in the middle of what he believes is a coming great spiritual awakening.

Pastor Tyshone Roland · Jun 8, 2025

Drawing from Matthew 8:1–4, Pastor Tyshone Roland shows that the leper's encounter with Jesus illustrates a truth every believer needs: God is not merely able to intervene in our circumstances, He is also willing. Jesus came down from the mountain — He initiates, He pursues, He touches the untouchable. Whatever diagnosis, debt, addiction, or shame a person carries, the same Jesus who healed the leper is ready to respond the moment someone brings their need to Him in faith.
