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.
