Why Your Church-Wide Fast Is Just Diet Culture in Drag

You were told fasting was about skipping meals to get closer to God. Isaiah 58 says otherwise. In this episode of Bible Bravery & Bullshit, we rip apart the church’s obsession with hunger games for Jesus and look at what God actually calls fasting: breaking oppression, feeding the hungry, housing the homeless, and refusing to look away from injustice.

If your “fast” doesn’t free people, you’re not holy—you’re just hangry. From taco truck ladies to trans kids, from Chick-fil-A diets to congressional Medicaid cuts, this episode pulls no punches.

Justice is worship. Mercy is worship. Everything else? Religious cosplay with low blood sugar.
