This was my first fast using the Forward Moving Faith devotional, and it was incredibly helpful in keeping me focused and accountable throughout the 21 days of prayer and fasting. I highly recommend this book to anyone planning to do a 21-day fast—it truly helps you stay grounded and not lose focus along the way. The ultimate purpose is always to draw closer to Jesus. No matter what we are specifically fasting or praying for, the real question is: did we come out of it closer to Him? That is what matters most. Today, I pray that we remain faithful in staying away from the bad habits that were broken during this fast and that we continue moving closer to Jesus. And even if you haven’t seen all the answers to the prayers you lifted up during this time, don’t stop praying. Psalm 37:4 reminds us, “Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart.” The answer is on its way.

Family, we want this community to remain a safe, focused, distraction-free place where you can grow, learn, and pursue Jesus without the chaos that often happens on social platforms. To protect that, here are our official guidelines: ⸻ 1. THIS IS A TRAINING CENTER — NOT A PROMOTION SPACE We are here to grow, be transformed, and chase after Jesus together. So inside this community: • 🚫 No asking for money • 🚫 No fundraising • 🚫 No promoting personal ministries, platforms, or events This isn’t to reject anyone — it’s to protect the purity, focus, and unity of this space. Posts or comments that break these guidelines will be removed, and repeated violations may result in removal from the community. ⸻ 2. KEEP CONVERSATIONS PUBLIC (FOR EVERYONE’S GROWTH + SAFETY) To keep things healthy and transparent, we ask that all conversations stay inside the public community, where we can grow together as one family. The only reason anyone should need to send a private DM is if they have a specific question about: • The community • The classrooms • Technical issues In those cases, you can message Aaron and Julie Schilling directly. There’s no need for private messaging beyond that. ⸻ 3. YOU CAN TURN OFF MESSAGING (OPTIONAL SAFETY FEATURE) If you want complete peace from unexpected messages, you can disable chat entirely. How to turn off receiving messages: 1. Tap your profile picture 2. Go to Settings (three dots in top corner) 3. Select “Chat” 4. Toggle off “Who can message me?” This feature is here to help you stay focused and protected. ⸻ 4. MAINTAINING A SAFE & HOLY ENVIRONMENT These guidelines are simply here to keep this community: • Safe • Free of spam • Free of self-promotion • Spiritually focused • Healthy for every member If someone cannot honor these boundaries, we may need to remove them — not as punishment, but to protect the environment God has entrusted us to steward. ⸻ We love you deeply. Thank you for helping make this community a place where people can truly grow, encounter Jesus, and become who God designed them to be. ❤️🙌
